Best way for potential clients to contact you
Justin loves working with young adults ages 18 to 40+ with ADHD navigate their careers and personal lives as well as ADHD entrepreneurs looking to gain confidence in their business ventures and improve their organization skills. Justin's practice, Superior Center, is on a mission to provide affordable, quality healthcare to 10,000 people with ADHD. We have therapy providers for parents, caregivers, kids, teens, and more! We are proud to say that over 50% of Superior Center's clients for ADHD treatment are adult women within their 20s, 30s, and 40s.
What do you recommend to help clients focus on their work?
Often when we are trying to focus we have a hard time gathering our thoughts which prevent us from making a decision, let alone the right one. Using the 54321 rule, I teach my clients how to STOP, count (out loud) "5,4,3,2,1", say an action phrase, and move their bodies. Verbal processing and movement changes the way your brain thinks because we are literally adding new information to the brain and changing our physiology which makes us more likely to take action
What is a superpower of people with ADHD?
They are some of the most creative people that I have ever met.
What do you love about working with clients?
I love being able to help those with ADHD realize that they actually are not stuck and that they are able empower themselves despite what they have experienced.
Why do you refer clients to focused space?
Awesome coworking opportunities/body doubling.
