Individual therapy

Sometimes, an outside perspective is all that is needed to find a solution to problems that may have seemed unsolvable. The goal of therapy is to discover new ways of looking at situations through interaction, so that the individual or family is better equipped to resolve future problems themselves.


Sessions typically last 45-50 minutes and focus on specific areas of conflict within the larger context of relationships. At first, we'll find out where the problems are and identify the best method for treating them. After that, our sessions will focus on the progress made between sessions, and the reasons for gains and losses. Treatment over an extended period can prove the most beneficial, but in other cases, only a few sessions are necessary.

Psychological Assessments

 Psychologists use tests to learn more about their patients and to guide their suggestions for treatment. We also use them to determine eligibility and special accommodations for Learning Disability and ADHD programs at all levels, including the college level.

A complete battery of tests can help assess intelligence, motivation, attention span and concentration. Tests can even provide psychologists and just as important - the clients themselves - a better understanding of each individual's emotions and personality structure.

Parenting techniques, children and adolescents

 Learning to cope with behavioral problems starts with the parents and the child. Therapy sessions normally involve some time with the child, but far more time is spent helping the adults develop a keen understanding of ADHD behavior and the right parenting techniques for handling the unique problems ADHD can present.


It's very important that parents learn how to help their ADHD child minimize his/her vulnerability to distraction and inattention.


Medication can certainly aid this process, but developing correct techniques for changing behavior is essential to solving the challenges that ADHD children face from day to day. Of course, parenting sessions can be useful where ADHD is not the primary concern, and we can help there as well.
