Questions Before Taking the Next Step?

How is ADHD treated at CBTAA?

We offer Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which is a proven treatment for managing ADHD symptoms. Our approach includes developing organizational strategies, time management skills, emotional regulation tools, and techniques to improve focus and reduce overwhelm.

Can adults have ADHD too?

Yes. While ADHD is often diagnosed in childhood, many adults continue to experience symptoms, sometimes without ever being diagnosed. Adult ADHD may look like chronic disorganization, procrastination, impulsive decision-making, or difficulty staying focused at work.

What are common signs of ADHD?

Some common signs include forgetfulness, trouble focusing, restlessness, impulsivity, difficulty completing tasks, time management issues, and feeling mentally scattered or overwhelmed.

What is ADHD?

ADHD (Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder) is a neurodevelopmental condition that affects focus, organization, impulse control, and emotional regulation. It often begins in childhood but can continue into adulthood if left untreated.

What if I feel like I'm still unsure about my diagnosis after starting therapy?

Your therapist can help you clarify what’s going on over time. If things remain unclear after a few sessions, they may recommend a neuropsychological evaluation for deeper insight. Therapy and evaluation can work together, and we offer both in-house to make the process seamless.

How can I prepare for my first appointment?

Bring any past evaluations, school reports, or relevant medical history. Be prepared to discuss current challenges and goals — but don’t worry if you’re not sure where to start. Your therapist will guide the conversation.

Is virtual therapy effective for ADHD?

Absolutely. Teletherapy has proven to be just as effective as in-person therapy for ADHD, and can even be more convenient for busy individuals and families.

How is adult ADHD different from childhood ADHD?

While core symptoms are similar, adult ADHD often presents more subtly. Adults may struggle more with organization, time management, emotional regulation, and work-related challenges, rather than the overt hyperactivity seen in children.

Can ADHD be treated without medication?

Yes. Many individuals benefit from CBT and other behavioral therapies without medication, particularly if they are seeking to build long-term coping strategies.

How do I know if I should be seeking therapy or a neuropsych eval?

In most cases, therapy is the best place to start. During the initial intake and early sessions, your clinician can assess whether a full evaluation is necessary. If your symptoms are straightforward, therapy may be all you need. If they’re more complicated, or if you need documentation for accommodations, we’ll walk you through the evaluation process.

How do I know if a neuropsychological evaluation is right for me?

If you’re seeking official accommodations for school or work, like extended time on standardized tests or ADA protections, a neuropsychological evaluation is likely required. It’s also appropriate if your symptoms are complex or difficult to diagnose, or if you’ve tried therapy before without a clear understanding of what’s going on.

Do I need a diagnosis to start ADHD treatment?

No, we can begin therapy based on a therapeutic assessment, and if further evaluation is needed, we will guide you through the comprehensive neuropsychological evaluation process. A therapeutic assessment is an initial intake session focused on understanding your symptoms and concerns, gathering relevant background information, and determining whether ADHD or other conditions may be present, along with the best starting point for treatment.
