ADHD Testing & Support in NYC
Comprehensive ADHD evaluations and specialized therapy for children, teens, and adults in Manhattan and throughout New York
Does your child (or do you) struggle with focus, impulsivity, and getting things done? Get clear answers and practical strategies.
​
You've wondered about ADHD for a while now. Maybe your child can't sit still, forgets everything, or melts down over homework. Or maybe you're an adult who's always felt scattered, chronically late, and working twice as hard just to keep up.
​
ADHD testing gives you clarity—and a path forward. We specialize in comprehensive ADHD evaluations for children, teens, and adults in Manhattan and throughout New York.
When to Consider ADHD Testing
ADHD often looks like:
-
Can't focus – Easily distracted, mind wanders, difficulty paying attention
-
Can't organize – Loses things, forgets assignments, chronic disorganization
-
Can't follow through – Starts but doesn't finish, procrastinates, misses deadlines
-
Can't sit still – Hyperactivity, fidgeting, restlessness
-
Can't regulate emotions – Frustration, rejection sensitivity, impulsive reactions
But here's the tricky part: Anxiety, learning disabilities, and autism can look like ADHD. Comprehensive testing figures out what's actually going on.

Common Questions
How do I know if I (or my child) need ADHD testing? ​
Consider evaluation if you're experiencing persistent difficulty with focus, organization, time management, or emotional regulation that's affecting school, work, or relationships.
Do you diagnose adult ADHD? ​
Yes! Adult ADHD evaluation is a significant part of our practice. Many adults (especially women) weren't diagnosed as children.
What's the difference between screening and comprehensive evaluation?
Quick screenings miss complex presentations. Comprehensive evaluation assesses cognitive function, executive function, and rules out other conditions that can mimic ADHD.
