Assessment & Diagnosis
I offer a warm and supportive ADHD assessment process that includes a diagnostic interview and online questionnaires to get a full understanding of your experience. We’ll work together to gather detailed insights that inform a tailored treatment plan.
If you're considering medication, we’ll determine the best path forward. In some cases, a diagnosis from a psychiatrist may be a quicker or more cost-effective option, and if that's the case, we can confirm it early on and move directly into treatment. Throughout the process, I take care to explain each step clearly, ensuring you understand what we’re doing and why.
Strategy Sessions
My ADHD strategy sessions are designed for women at the beginning of their ADHD journey—whether you’re just starting to explore if you have ADHD or have been recently diagnosed and are exploring treatment options. These one-off sessions focus on helping you determine the best path for diagnosis and explore treatment options, so you can move forward with more clarity and confidence.
​
As a new service, these sessions are offered at a reflective reduced price of $200 (instead of the usual $250), ensuring you receive valuable support while I continue to expand my expertise in ADHD diagnosis and treatment. Learn more about strategy sessions here.
Holistic ADHD Therapy
My holistic ADHD therapy blends best practice ADHD therapies with alternative approaches, spirituality, and ancient wisdom. This comprehensive approach covers ADHD-specific modules tailored to managing symptoms, as well as addressing general issues like anxiety, stress, relationships and self-esteem.
By integrating these elements, I offer support that nurtures every aspect of your life, helping you manage ADHD symptoms while also improving your overall wellbeing. Learn more about the full range of other topics and my therapy style here.
