ADHD Assessment, Diagnosis & Treatment

Assessment Using the Conners Scale:

We offer the Conners Rating Scale to assist in the clinical assessment and diagnosis process. 

The Conners Scale is an evidence-based screening tool used to describe ADHD-related behaviors. This assessment tool is used by clinicians to gather information and data alongside developmental history and clinical judgement, to determine if the client meets the DSM-5 criteria for ADHD. 


In-Person or Remote Evaluation

The Connors Rating Scale is offered for children ages 6-18, and adults of all ages. The test can be provided either in-person, or remotely (prices are the same). 


The costs related to testing are as follows:

$300 for 60-minute evaluation & assessment

$150 for 60-minute follow-up/discussion of results/diagnosis

Multi-Informant Design

The Conners Scale's strength lies in collecting data from multiple sources (teachers, friends, partners, Self-report, etc). This helps to confirm that symptoms are present in at least 2 different settings.

Distinct Content Scales

This ADHD Assessment Tool measures the following scales: Inattention, Hyperactivity/Impulsivity, Emotional Dysregulation, Executive Functioning and Learning Problems

If Results Are Positive:

Clients will receive a letter on company letterhead, informing the client of their diagnosis. Client can bring this letter to a medical prescriber, teachers, etc. to explore options for medication management, accommodations, etc.

ADHD & Executive Function Coaching for Parents, Adolescents

What is "Executive Functioning?"

Executive Functioning is the combination of mental processes that help us translate intentions into action.


ADHD and Executive Function Coaching is a collaborative, strengths-based process that helps individuals better understand how their brains work while developing practical strategies for planning, organization, time management, focus, task initiation, and follow-through. Because ADHD often affects executive functioning, coaching can help clients bridge the gap between knowing what they want or need to do and being able to consistently put those intentions into action. Coaching is a collaborative, goal-oriented approach designed around the unique needs of people with ADHD or ADHD-like symptoms. It combines traditional coaching with practical skill development and ADHD education.

  • Coaching: Supports self-awareness, goal-setting, action, structure, and accountability.
  • Skills Coaching: Helps clients recognize their strengths and challenges and develop personalized strategies for managing everyday life.
  • Education: Helps clients understand how ADHD affects them and provides relevant information, tools, resources, and referrals.


ADHD can affect far more than attention. It can influence organization, time management, motivation, follow-through, emotional regulation, and the ability to turn intentions into action. ADHD coaching provides practical, individualized support for navigating these challenges while recognizing and building upon each person’s unique strengths.


For parents, Liza provides coaching and guidance to help you better understand your child’s ADHD and develop parenting strategies that support their success. Together, we identify what may be getting in the way, explore approaches that reduce frustration and conflict, and create practical ways to foster greater independence, confidence, responsibility, and connection.


For adolescents and adults, coaching is a collaborative process focused on identifying personal goals and developing realistic strategies for reaching them. We may work on organization, planning, time management, prioritizing, motivation, task initiation and completion, routines, accountability, or larger academic, professional, and life goals. The aim is not simply to “get more done,” but to discover approaches that work with your individual brain, strengths, needs, and circumstances.
