Daybreak Counseling Center provides specialized support for ADHD in Long Beach, CA and Cerritos, CA, to help residents manage attention, focus, and the daily challenges that come with ADHD. Our licensed therapists work with adults and teens to build practical strategies for organization, emotional regulation, and follow-through so you can feel more in control at work, at school, and at home.

Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) affects far more than attention alone. It can impact organization, time management, emotional regulation, motivation, and relationships. Many adults and children with ADHD struggle with feeling overwhelmed despite working incredibly hard. Understanding how ADHD uniquely affects your life is an important first step toward building effective strategies and greater self-confidence.
Before your first visit, your therapist will reach out to you to arrange a consultation over the phone to conduct an initial assessment. This helps establish a connection with your therapist, as well as formulate treatment goals, so your initial session and ongoing therapy are as successful as possible.
Sessions may include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, skills coaching, and other proven modalities designed to improve executive functioning, reduce overwhelm, and reshape unhelpful thought patterns around productivity and self-worth.
Patients work on building a toolkit of organization systems, time-management strategies, and mindfulness practices that can be used outside of the office to stay focused and follow through on what matters most.
We believe every client is unique and has a personal story and set of experiences that bring them to therapy. Rather than focusing only on symptoms, we look at you as a whole person, taking into account your history, cultural background, family of origin, and the life experiences that have shaped who you are. We then create a client-centered, personalized treatment plan tailored to your unique needs, ensuring your care reflects who you are and where you are in this stage of your life.
Therapy helps reduce the impact of distraction and unfinished tasks, allowing for better concentration on professional, academic, and personal goals.
By learning to manage frustration and overwhelm, individuals can remain steadier during challenging interactions or stressful demands.
Addressing mental load and sleep disruption often leads to more consistent routines and fewer stress-related physical symptoms.
Treatment provides the tools necessary to navigate conversations, relationships, and workplace interactions without the burden of missed details or impulsive reactions.
The strategies learned in therapy provide a foundation for handling future demands independently. Clients gain confidence in working with their ADHD rather than against it.
Many individuals who experience worry also struggle with persistent low mood or loss of interest. Combined treatment plans can address these overlapping symptoms to improve overall emotional health and restore a sense of hope. Addressing both concerns simultaneously often leads to more comprehensive healing.
Specific sessions focused on stress management help identify environmental triggers in the workplace or home. This proactive approach focuses on lifestyle adjustments to prevent clinical symptoms from worsening. You will learn to set healthy boundaries and prioritize self-care effectively.
Mindfulness practices teach you to stay present and reduce the impact of future-oriented fears. These techniques are often integrated into broader care plans to enhance self-awareness and peace of mind. Consistent practice helps ground the nervous system in the current moment.
For those whose symptoms stem from past experiences, specialized care addresses the root causes of nervous system dysregulation. This approach ensures a safe and supportive environment for processing sensitive history. Healing from past trauma can significantly reduce current levels of daily apprehension.
Our standard fee for a 50-minute therapy session is $165. We also accept the following insurance plans: Health Net, Health Net Medi-Cal, UnitedHealthcare, Optum, Aetna, and Cigna.
