ADHD Testing & Treatment
Comprehensive psychological evaluation and evidence-based treatment for adolescents and adults with ADHD.
About ADHD
Understanding ADHD
Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental condition that affects focus, impulse control, and executive functioning. It is one of the most common conditions seen in both adolescents and adults, yet it is frequently misunderstood or misdiagnosed.
At Volpe Psychological Services, P.C., we provide comprehensive psychological evaluations to accurately diagnose ADHD and distinguish it from other conditions that may present similarly, such as anxiety, depression, or learning disabilities.
The Evaluation Process
Comprehensive ADHD Testing
Our ADHD evaluations are thorough, individualized, and designed to provide a clear picture of your cognitive and behavioral profile. Each evaluation includes behavior rating scales, a clinical interview, a detailed review of background history, and at times cognitive testing.
Clinical Interview
An in-depth interview covering developmental history, current symptoms, academic or occupational functioning, and family history.
Behavior Rating Scales
Completion of standardized ADHD rating scales by the individual and, when appropriate, collateral informants such as parents or partners.
Background History Review
A detailed review of records, prior evaluations, academic history, and other relevant background information to inform the diagnostic picture.
Cognitive Testing & Feedback
Cognitive testing is included when necessary to clarify the diagnosis. The evaluation concludes with a feedback session reviewing findings, diagnosis, and specific recommendations.
Treatment
ADHD Treatment Approaches
Following evaluation, we offer evidence-based psychotherapy tailored to the unique needs of each individual.
Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
CBT for ADHD targets the thought patterns and behaviors that interfere with daily functioning, helping individuals build practical coping strategies.
Executive Function Coaching
Structured support for developing time management, organization, planning, and task initiation skills.
Mindfulness-Based Approaches
Mindfulness techniques help improve attention regulation, reduce impulsivity, and manage the emotional dysregulation often associated with ADHD.
