Personalized ADHD Therapy Helping Children & Adults Thrive At Home, School, & Work

Living with ADHD can feel overwhelming, whether you're a parent watching your child struggle with focus and organization, or an adult finally seeking answers for lifelong challenges with attention and executive functioning.

The constant cycle of missed deadlines, forgotten tasks, and feeling misunderstood can impact every area of life - from academic performance to work relationships and self-esteem.

At IMPACT Psychological Services, we understand that ADHD affects each person differently. Our experienced therapists provide personalized, evidence-based treatment that goes beyond symptom management to help individuals develop practical skills and strategies for long-term success. We work collaboratively with clients, families, and other providers to create comprehensive support systems tailored to your unique needs.

Located conveniently in Westchester and Dutchess Counties, we're committed to making quality ADHD care accessible to families throughout the Hudson Valley region. Our integrative approach combines the latest research with compassionate, individualized treatment that honors your strengths while addressing your challenges.

ADHD therapy at IMPACT Psychological Services begins with a thorough understanding of how attention differences impact your daily life.

Our licensed psychologists work with children, adolescents, and adults to address the core symptoms of ADHD while building essential life skills for managing attention, organization, and emotional regulation.

Our therapeutic approach integrates multiple evidence-based methodologies, including cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness techniques, and executive functioning coaching. For children and adolescents, we often incorporate family therapy elements to help parents develop effective strategies for supporting their child's growth. Adult clients benefit from targeted interventions that address workplace challenges, relationship difficulties, and the emotional impact of late diagnosis.

We recognize that ADHD rarely exists in isolation. Our comprehensive treatment addresses common co-occurring conditions such as anxiety, depression, and learning differences. Through psychoeducational testing services, we can provide detailed assessments that inform treatment planning and help secure appropriate accommodations at school or work.

Each treatment plan is designed to be practical and actionable, focusing on real-world application of coping strategies. We emphasize building on existing strengths while developing new skills in areas like time management, organization, emotional regulation, and social communication. Our goal is to help you or your child develop confidence and independence while managing ADHD symptoms effectively.

KEY BENEFITS

Take the First Step Towards Healing

  • No two people experience ADHD the same way, which is why cookie-cutter approaches often fall short. At IMPACT Psychological Services, we begin every therapeutic relationship with a comprehensive assessment of your individual strengths, challenges, and goals. Our therapists take time to understand how ADHD specifically impacts your life - whether that's a child struggling with homework completion in White Plains schools or an adult in Poughkeepsie managing workplace productivity challenges.

    Our personalized treatment plans integrate multiple therapeutic modalities based on what works best for you. This might include cognitive-behavioral strategies for negative thought patterns, mindfulness techniques for emotional regulation, or executive functioning coaching for organizational skills. We also consider your cultural background, family dynamics, and personal preferences when developing interventions.

    The result is therapy that feels relevant and achievable. Clients throughout Westchester and Dutchess Counties have found success with our individualized approach, developing practical skills they can immediately apply to their daily routines. Rather than generic advice, you receive targeted strategies that address your specific ADHD challenges while building on your natural strengths.

  • Effective ADHD therapy requires more than understanding - it demands proven strategies that create measurable improvement in daily functioning. Our therapists stay current with the latest ADHD research, incorporating evidence-based interventions that have demonstrated success in clinical studies. This includes cognitive-behavioral therapy techniques specifically adapted for ADHD, mindfulness-based interventions, and executive functioning training programs.

    We focus on building core skills that serve you long after therapy ends. For children and teens, this might involve developing homework routines, improving social skills, or learning emotional regulation techniques. Adult clients often work on time management systems, communication strategies for work relationships, or methods for managing ADHD-related anxiety and self-criticism.

    Throughout the Hudson Valley region, our clients have experienced significant improvements in academic performance, work productivity, and overall quality of life. We track progress through objective measures and regular check-ins, adjusting treatment approaches based on what's working best. This commitment to evidence-based practice ensures you receive interventions with proven track records of success, not just theoretical approaches that sound promising.

  • ADHD impacts entire families, not just the individual with the diagnosis. Successful treatment requires everyone in the support system to understand ADHD and develop consistent strategies for encouragement and accountability. Our therapists work closely with parents, spouses, teachers, and other important people in your life to create cohesive support networks that reinforce therapeutic goals.

    For families in Mamaroneck, New Rochelle, and surrounding areas, we offer parent coaching services that help caregivers understand ADHD neurodiversity while learning effective communication and behavioral management techniques. We collaborate with school personnel to ensure academic accommodations are properly implemented and provide guidance on creating ADHD-friendly home environments.

    Adult clients benefit from our couples and family therapy options, which help partners and family members understand how to support ADHD management without enabling dependence. We also coordinate care with other providers - including psychiatrists, educational consultants, and occupational therapists - ensuring all aspects of ADHD treatment work together harmoniously. This comprehensive approach leads to more consistent progress and better long-term outcomes for individuals and families throughout our service area.

  • ADHD manifests differently across age groups, requiring specialized knowledge and treatment approaches for each developmental stage. Our team includes licensed psychologists with advanced training in both pediatric and adult ADHD presentations, ensuring you receive age-appropriate, developmentally informed care regardless of when you seek support.

    For children and adolescents, we understand how ADHD symptoms interact with academic demands, social development, and family relationships. Our child specialists work with families throughout Westchester County to address school-related challenges, peer relationship difficulties, and behavioral concerns at home. We're experienced in collaborating with local school districts to secure appropriate accommodations and support services.

    Adult ADHD often presents with unique challenges around career management, relationship maintenance, and emotional regulation that weren't addressed in childhood. Many adults in the Hudson Valley area come to us seeking help after years of feeling different or struggling with productivity, often following their child's ADHD diagnosis. Our adult specialists understand the complex intersection of ADHD with work stress, parenting responsibilities, and relationship dynamics, providing targeted interventions that address real-world adult challenges while processing any feelings of grief or frustration about late diagnosis.

IMPACT Psychological Services offers multiple convenient locations throughout the region, with offices in Mamaroneck serving Westchester County families and locations in Fishkill and Beacon for Dutchess County clients. Each office provides a warm, professional environment designed to promote focus and comfort during therapy sessions.

  • Understanding your ADHD thoroughly is the foundation of effective treatment. IMPACT Psychological Services offers comprehensive psychoeducational testing alongside ongoing therapy services, providing a complete picture of your cognitive strengths, attention patterns, and any co-occurring learning or emotional challenges. This integration eliminates the need to coordinate between multiple providers and ensures seamless communication between assessment and treatment teams.

    Our testing services range from targeted ADHD assessments ($4,000-$5,700) to comprehensive neuropsychological evaluations ($6,000-$7,500) that examine all aspects of cognitive and emotional functioning. These detailed evaluations provide crucial information for treatment planning while supporting requests for educational or workplace accommodations. The assessment process includes thorough feedback sessions where results are explained in practical, understandable terms.

    Following assessment, our therapeutic team uses testing results to inform ongoing treatment planning, ensuring interventions target your specific cognitive profile and learning style. This evidence-based approach leads to more effective therapy outcomes and helps families throughout the region secure appropriate school accommodations or workplace support. We also provide updated assessments as needed, tracking progress over time and adjusting treatment approaches based on developmental changes or new life demands.

Our Process

STEP ONE

Initial Consultation & Assessment

Your ADHD therapy journey begins with a comprehensive consultation where we learn about your current challenges, treatment goals, and how ADHD impacts your daily life. This 60-90 minute session includes discussion of your symptoms, medical history, and previous treatment experiences. We explain our therapeutic approach and answer your questions about the treatment process. For those needing formal assessment, we discuss testing options and help determine the most appropriate evaluation level for your needs and goals.

STEP THREE

Active Skill Building & Strategy Development

Regular therapy sessions focus on developing practical skills and strategies for managing ADHD in real-world situations. Sessions typically occur weekly initially, with frequency adjusted based on progress and stability. We work on specific techniques like organization systems, time management strategies, emotional regulation skills, and communication improvements. Homework assignments and practice exercises help you implement new strategies between sessions, building confidence and competence gradually over time.

STEP TWO

Personalized Treatment Plan Development

Based on your initial assessment, we develop a customized treatment plan that addresses your specific ADHD presentation and life circumstances. This collaborative process involves setting realistic goals, identifying target skills to develop, and selecting therapeutic interventions most likely to benefit you. We discuss session frequency, involvement of family members or other support people, and coordination with other providers like psychiatrists or school personnel. Treatment plans remain flexible and evolve based on your progress and changing needs.

STEP FOUR

Progress Monitoring & Plan Adjustment

Throughout treatment, we regularly assess your progress toward established goals and adjust interventions based on what's working most effectively. Monthly check-ins include reviewing objective measures of improvement, gathering feedback from family members or other involved parties, and modifying strategies as needed. We celebrate successes and problem-solve challenges collaboratively, ensuring treatment remains relevant and beneficial. As you develop greater independence in managing ADHD, session frequency typically decreases with continued support available as needed.

Our Approach

At IMPACT Psychological Services, our approach to ADHD therapy is grounded in the understanding that ADHD represents neurological diversity rather than deficit.

We believe in honoring each client's unique strengths while developing practical skills to navigate a world designed for neurotypical brains. This strength-based perspective forms the foundation of all our therapeutic interventions, helping clients build confidence alongside competence.

Our treatment methodology integrates multiple evidence-based approaches tailored to each client's specific needs and learning style. Cognitive-behavioral therapy techniques help address negative thought patterns and develop problem-solving skills. Mindfulness-based interventions support emotional regulation and attention training. Executive functioning coaching provides concrete strategies for organization, time management, and goal achievement. We adapt these approaches developmentally, ensuring interventions match each client's cognitive and emotional maturity level.

Recognizing that ADHD impacts entire family systems, we emphasize collaborative treatment that involves parents, spouses, and other significant support people. This systemic approach ensures strategies learned in therapy are reinforced consistently across all life environments. We also coordinate closely with other providers, including psychiatrists, educators, and occupational therapists, to create comprehensive care teams that address all aspects of ADHD management.

Our licensed psychologists specialize in evidence-based ADHD treatment for individuals and families of all ages. Founded by experienced clinicians Dr. Talya Cohen and Dr. Tracy Prout, we're committed to making quality psychological services accessible and affordable for our local communities.

  • ADHD therapy and medication serve different but complementary roles in comprehensive treatment. While medication can help improve focus and reduce hyperactivity, therapy teaches essential life skills like organization, time management, and emotional regulation that medication alone cannot provide. Many clients in our Westchester and Dutchess County locations benefit most from combining both approaches. Our therapists can help you evaluate your current treatment plan and determine if adding therapeutic support would enhance your overall ADHD management success.

  • ADHD therapy addresses both the practical skill deficits and emotional aspects of living with ADHD, including any co-occurring anxiety, depression, or self-esteem issues. While coaching focuses primarily on skill-building and strategy development, therapy provides deeper exploration of how ADHD impacts your relationships, self-concept, and overall mental health. Our licensed psychologists can provide both coaching-style interventions and clinical therapy within the same treatment relationship, offering comprehensive support for all aspects of ADHD management.

  • Yes, we frequently collaborate with school districts throughout Westchester and Dutchess Counties to ensure appropriate educational supports are in place. Our psychoeducational testing services provide detailed reports that support 504 Plan and IEP requests. We can participate in school meetings, provide teacher consultations, and help families navigate the special education process. Our familiarity with local school systems helps streamline this process for families seeking academic accommodations.

  • ADHD therapy duration varies based on individual goals and needs, but most clients see significant improvement within 3-6 months of consistent weekly sessions. Some families choose ongoing monthly sessions for continued support during transitions or challenging periods. Adult clients often benefit from intensive initial treatment followed by periodic check-ins as needed. We work collaboratively with you to determine the optimal treatment length and frequency based on your progress and life circumstances.

  • Research shows online therapy can be equally effective for ADHD treatment, and many clients find it more convenient and sustainable. Our secure, HIPAA-compliant video platform allows us to serve families throughout New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut. Online sessions work particularly well for adults with busy schedules or families who have difficulty with consistent appointment attendance. We offer both options and can help you determine which format best fits your needs and preferences.
