Beyond Therapy: Understanding ADHD in a Meaningful Way
ADHD is more than just distraction or hyperactivity—it’s a complex, deeply misunderstood neurodevelopmental condition that affects how people think, learn, and interact with the world. Whether you’re a clinician looking to better serve neurodivergent clients, an educator trying to support students with ADHD, or an individual just seeking to understand ADHD beyond the stereotypes, we’re here to help.
At Humble Roots Counseling, we offer consultation and educational services designed to bridge the gap between research and real-world experience. Our approach doesn’t just focus on clinical definitions—it makes ADHD relatable, practical, and easier to understand through real-life applications, storytelling, and even video game analysis as a way to explore ADHD’s impact on decision-making, identity, and behavior.

ADHD & Video Games: A Unique Learning Tool
Media, particularly video games, offers an incredibly rich way to explore ADHD beyond traditional frameworks. By examining game mechanics, player decision-making, and in-game identity formation, we can:
🎮 Explore executive function challenges – How do games simulate (or frustrate) ADHD players’ struggles with task initiation, working memory, and time management?
🎮 Examine decision-making & impulsivity – How do game mechanics reflect the real-world impact of impulsivity, hyperfocus, and delayed consequences?
🎮 Analyze identity & self-perception – How do RPGs and open-world games create a space for self-reflection, experimentation, and learning—and what can that teach us about ADHD in real life?
For clinicians, educators, and content creators, using gaming as a framework for understanding ADHD can open up new, accessible, and engaging ways to communicate neurodivergent experiences.
