Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)
ADHD is a chronic condition including attention difficulty, hyperactivity, and impulsiveness. ADHD often begins in childhood and can persist into adulthood. It may contribute to low self-esteem, troubled relationships, and difficulty at school or work. Symptoms include limited attention and hyperactivity. Behavioral: Aggression, excitability, fidgeting, hyperactivity, impulsivity, irritability, lack of restraint, or persistent, repetition of words or actions. Cognitive: Absent-mindedness, difficulty focusing, forgetfulness, problem paying attention, or short tension span. Mood: Anger, anxiety, boredom, excitement, or mood swings. Also common: Depression or learning disability. In the US there are over 3 million cases of ADHD per year. Treatment can help, but this condition cannot be cured. ADHD can last for years or be life-long and requires a medical diagnosis. The symptoms of this condition include limited attention and hyperactivity.
Treatment consists of medication and talk therapy (Solanto, Marks, and Wasserstein, 2011). Therapies include, support groups, cognitive behavioral therapy, anger management, interventions, psychoeducation, family therapy, and applied behavior analysis. Medications include stimulants and cognition-enhancing medication. Stimulants increase neurotransmitter levels but may decrease appetite and sleep (National Institute on Drug Abuse, 2014). Cognitive-enhancing medication improves mental function, lowers blood pressure, and may balance mood (Franke, Gränsmark, Agricola, Schühle, Rommel, Sebasian, Balló, Gorbulev, Gerdes, Frank, Ruckes, Tüscher, and Lieb, 2017). We can help by providing cognitive behavioral therapy, psychoeducation, and skills training specifically for ADHD. We also off ADHD assessments that include The Vanderbilt and a DSM-V evaluation.

Mosaic Tree Counseling is exactly the ideal place for You, your children or family members to be involved in. Therapy is rarely offered in your home, which Mosaic Tree Counseling provides. This allows your children to be in an environment that they feel comfortable, especially opening up their feelings or emotions to someone they might not be able to open up to emotionally. I'm am a pediatric nurse and I'm in the same situation alot of us go through in life, Divorce,Death, Changes in our Pre teen, teens life, social media!!! I'm finally having a peaceful household due to our wonderful therapist Candice Scurry!!! The difference is with Mosaic Tree Counseling is that they truly are here to help us and our family's. Candice Scurry goes above and beyond in making sure I have tools and resources to work with as well. The progression in my household is AMAZING!!!!!!!

I am very pleased with one of your employees named Juanita. I am in Houston TX. She has been very clear professional when trying to get any information about finding someone who is in my insurance plan. I really hope that this nice experience continues as I am going to further my life with Misaic Tree . Thanks again so far❤️

I usually don't leave reviews, but I can't keep Mosaic Tree Counseling to myself if it could help others. Maria has worked with me on my issues. My quality of life and happiness I feel now is unbelievable. I never waited long in the waiting area and was never a problem to get scheduled when I needed it. If you are dealing with any kind of problem, these guys are the best. I would definitely recommend them to my family and friends.

I've worked here lightly before, and observed the staff and operation. The clients were of all kinds of people and I was very impressed how they appreciated coming in for therapy. Good place for children, also.

This place is run with the utmost kindness & professionalism. The rooms there feel relaxed. I was lucky to talk to her for an hour, as well as another counselor there. Both were right on. They listened for a long time. They were on my side. We ended sessions talking about solutions. The whole experience was excellent.

I started my sessions at Mosaic as individual sessions with Jennifer. Eventually, to my complete and utter surprise, we were able to get my honey to tag along for some couples therapy AND his own personal sessions. Her guidance and love has not only transformed our relationship but has really helped us individually address our own personal demons. We are forever grateful to have found her! She has become a true confidant in our life. We cant recommend Mosaic enough! everyone here is lovely.

I want to thank Maria for all the time and attention she has given me and my husband. We had been struggling to have a healthy marriage for the past couple of years. Maria has truly changed the way me and my husband communicate and has truly made our marriage better than ever with couple's therapy. She truly listens to us and all of our concerns about our relationship. We are now more in love than ever and have ceased all the fighting that was wearing our relationship out. Thank you Maria and Mosaic Tree Counseling for saving our marriage! I highly recommend Maria for marriage counseling and couples therapy!

Although my first experience was rather sub-par, the owner Maria immediately reached out to me regarding the concerns I had and addressed them swiftly. She is a wonderful women with a heart of gold. I can honestly say, working with her makes me feel open and comfortable and I am ready to see how my future sessions with her turn out!

I can’t say enough good things about Jennifer Mouille at a Mosaic Tree! Our family sees her for both individual and family therapy and she has helped us understand each other better and communicate our needs in healthy ways. We are a foster family with a teenage foster daughter and Jennifer is very skilled at helping our daughter begin to face past traumas and work to overcome her pain and anger. She also helps us, the parents, understand how to support and encourage our daughter. Though talk therapy is a big part of what she does, she’s also given us strategies and “homework” for when we leave her office.

The staff here is very hospitable and professional. I was nervous about starting counseling services in general but Jennifer instantly reassured me that Mosaic Tree is a safe place. It’s almost been a year now and I’m so glad I chose to come here.

WOW Amazing therapy and marriage counseling. I have been blessed to be able to get to know Jennifer . She has really helped me in so many ways in this journey . Rather it be for marriage or just individual counseling, I have now been hooked on the feeling of actually getting real help . As a male I admit I was skeptical of even starting treatment . I’ve only been going now 2 months and it has been a life changing experience for me . I will continue to go here for many years and receive the support, sujestions , gratitude , hospitality and all around love at this place . Take the time and give this group a try , you will not be disappointed what so ever . Very productive, professional and straight to the point of help is what you will receive . Thank you so much Jennifer and the Mosaic Tree Counseling !

My daughter was in a very dark place several months ago. Mosaic Tree was recommended to me by my insurance company and her school counselor. It was the best decision we made. Sometimes we need a professional to help us through. Mosiac brought out my daughter's best qualities and made her believe in herself. I highly recommend them.

Nothing stings like a bad review. Give another shot find Amy and you are in. Helped fill out application for me. Her hand writing is impressive for doctor personal. Mine is awful too. Fills out everything doesn't miss any part and is great in the end just had to sign. Made a hectic day better not used to such service. Finally a place where don't feel like a forgotten statistic. Its nice not to have to lose my cool to get someone to listen. Love itBruiser

TLTR: Definitely recommend Mosaic Tree Counseling services.Dr. Maria was my saving grace. I was having some severe panic attacks that would last for about a full day and had my life completely on hold. I started with medication through my medical doctor but those did not help in the slightest. If anything, they were more damaging to both my physical and mental health. After seeing Dr. Maria, and after just 3 sessions, 1 session per week, I felt so much better and my panic attacks almost completely stopped showing up. She walked me through my anxiety and gave me techniques to control it. She will definitely always be my go to in times when I need help. She is also very accommodating and is willing to work with you on payment methods. If you're here, please, PLEASE, do yourself a favor and book an appointment. The first step is always the hardest but it only gets better from here.
