Therapy alone does not formally diagnose ADHD, but it’s a powerful tool in the process of seeking a diagnosis. If you suspect your child has ADHD, we highly recommend that you seek both a formal neuropsychological assessment. We also encourage you to schedule an intake appointment with one of our therapists to see how outpatient therapy can help your child develop effective ways to cope with ADHD.
Our therapists do not prescribe medication. However, they do partner with prescribers in the area and can offer you appropriate referrals. With ADHD in children and adolescents, best practice is to have the client’s whole care team on board. We work alongside primary care providers and other prescribers to ensure a well-rounded approach to treating your child’s mental health.
Troubles with attention and impulsivity might be an indicator that your child has ADHD, but not always. If struggling to focus and behaving impulsively is starting to affect your child’s daily functioning, we recommend that you reach out to schedule an intake assessment with one of our therapists who specializes in ADHD in youth.
Yes, your child’s therapist will be happy and willing to partner with your child’s teacher, school social worker, behavioral specialist, or other support professional to provide well-rounded support for your child both in and outside of the classroom.
