What is ADHD?

Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental condition characterized by difficulties with attention, impulse control, and hyperactivity. While commonly diagnosed in childhood, ADHD is increasingly recognized later in life, with many adults noticing symptoms for the first time well into adulthood. Additionally, ADHD in individuals assigned female at birth (AFAB) often goes undetected, as it can present differently—frequently without hyperactivity—and may not be identified during school-age years. At Aspire Psychotherapy, we specialize in the accurate diagnosis and personalized treatment of ADHD for all people. Our psychological evaluations and evidence-based therapies help you improve executive functioning, organizational skills, and emotional regulation, empowering you to navigate daily life with clarity, confidence, and greater ease.

Our Approach to Managing ADHD

At Aspire Psychotherapy, we start with a careful assessment of your unique history, symptoms, and needs. Your dedicated ADHD clinician then develops a personalized treatment plan, often incorporating Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and/or emotional processing strategies. Weekly accountability sessions support your progress toward clear, manageable goals. Biofeedback may also be integrated to improve focus, emotional regulation, and resilience. When deeper clarity is needed, we offer comprehensive psychological evaluations to accurately diagnose and differentiate between ADHD, executive functioning challenges, dyslexia, giftedness, Twice Exceptionality (2E) and more, or differentiate ADHD from conditions like depression, OCD or PTSD. Our structured approach—Assessment, Planning, and Intervention—empowers you to navigate ADHD effectively and thrive in daily life.

Is individual therapy or psychological testing right for you?

At Aspire Psychotherapy, we offer two distinct paths—individual therapy and psychological testing—to support your ADHD journey.

Individual therapy is ideal when you’re ready to focus directly on managing ADHD symptoms, improving executive functioning, and enhancing your daily life. Using modalities like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), or biofeedback, your therapist provides structured weekly sessions tailored specifically to your needs and goals.

Psychological testing and evaluation may be the right path if you’re seeking a concrete diagnosis, clarity around symptoms, or guidance on medication or treatment options. Testing is especially valuable when trying to differentiate ADHD from other conditions like depression, anxiety, PTSD, or learning differences. Our comprehensive evaluations can also help determine eligibility for school, testing or workplace accommodations and provide personalized recommendations to guide your next steps.

Not sure which path is right for you? You don’t have to decide on your own. During your intake appointment, you’ll meet with one of our Clinical Directors, who will talk with you about your needs, goals, and preferences. From there, we’ll match you with the right-fit provider or testing process to support your unique journey.
