Virtual ADHD Treatment for Teens

I work with teens and their parents in partnership to help them see eye to eye and collaborate with one another to make life better.

formats based on what works best for the parent and teen. I see some teens with a parent present for every session. I see other teens alone most often and parents join once a month, others alternate alone and together every other session. The goal is for both the teen and the parent to feel heard and supported, while I help broker the negotiation of responsibilities and expectations that feel fair to everyone. Typical goals might include increased motivation, accountability, and independence.

I also assist parents and teens in getting the accommodations at school that your teen needs to succeed. This may include an individualized education plan (IEP), or a 504 plan which is less intensive than an IEP, but which provides the support that your child needs to succeed in school despite ADHD.

I provide all of the “non-medication treatment” for ADHD, and if you choose to try medication, I can guide you through the process of requesting medication from either your primary care provider or psychiatrist. With your permission, I am happy to collaborate with your provider to ensure he or she understands your challenges and what we are working on together so an appropriate medication can be prescribed.
