ADD Therapies

Individuals with ADD can often benefit from brief daily phone contact. Specific daily assignments are given to assist in task completion.

Our individually tailored services, designed to complement ongoing treatment, 
including the following:

COMPREHENSIVE PSYCHOLOGICAL / PSYCHOEDUCATIONAL EVALUATION

Individuals with attentional disorders often struggle with a number of other learning or emotional problems.  Given the potential impact of these complaints on academic and career achievements, clear and concise identification of problem areas and strengths is crucial for efficient treatment planning.  We offer a multicomponent assessment including structured interview methods, psychological testing and a feedback /debriefing session.  Written reports are then generated for patient and physician use.

SOCIAL SKILLS TRAINING

• Given that one of the common consequences of ADHD is interpersonal difficulty, structured group therapies which provide sufferers with both constructive feedback and training in prosocial behaviors is very important.

INDIVIDUAL COGNITIVE BEHAVIORAL THERAPY

• Goal directed therapies for reducing impulsiveness, distractibility, and disorganization are employed.  Between sessions homework facilitates behavioral self-regulation and mood stabilization.

PARENT EFFECTIVENESS TRAINING

• Parents are trained in a number of behavior modification methods for controlling conduct disorders.

CAREER COUNSELING:

• We collaborate with expert career professionals who help identify the impact of ADHD on actual career choices and make concrete recommendations. 

NEUROFEEDBACK (EEG) TRAINING PROGRAM

• Biofeedback technology, currently implemented in over 300 medical clinics worldwide, can help individuals control brain wave activity.  Research studies attest to abnormal EEG activity in ADHD disorders, and that learning to control EEG patterns in highly specific ways leads to increase attention and increased hyperactivity.
