ADHD-Certified Clinical Services Provider

 Do you have difficulty meeting your goals? Do you struggle with connecting with others? Can't sit still? You may have undiagnosed ADHD.  

"After being diagnosed with ADHD, I felt incredibly validated. As if, “Finally! Someone sees me!” Sarah has helped me understand ADHD behaviors and what I can do in my daily life to cope and work through struggles and impulsivities."  R. 

I offer ADHD testing for teens and adults, using diagnostic assessments including TOVA testing. 

Appointments for testing generally take about an hour. The intake and testing session is typically followed up with a Feedback and Report session. 

I offer ADHD coaching sessions for short term work on specific Executive Functioning concerns you have.

I also offer longer term psychotherapy to address the underlying emotional legacy of ADHD. 

ADHD is a neurodevelopmental condition that begins at a young age. About 4% of Americans older than 18 experience ADHD behaviors regularly, and many have never been diagnosed. Women in particular, often do not get diagnosed until their late 30's or early 40's.

To diagnose attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), I use the standardized set of criteria from the American Psychiatric Association’s Diagnostic and Statistical manual, a clinical assessment and interview, as well as T.O.V.A. testing. I accept some insurances for this diagnostic assessment; otherwise, the out-of-pocket fee is $175. 

I offer evidence-based Behavior Therapy to help clients develop healthy habits and meaningful strategies to lessen the negative impacts of ADHD. I also help clients process the shame often experienced by people with ADHD and reframe their understanding of an ADHD diagnosis to include curiosity, creativity and energy. 

ADHD coaching is offered to address specific Executive Functioning deficits using evidence based coping skills and strategies. Coaching is offered as a self-pay service and is $100 for a 45-minute session.
