ADHD Evaluation & Treatment

If focus, time, and follow‑through are hard: you’re in the right place.

ADHD can look like missed details, late starts, and sprint‑and‑stall patterns, even when you’re trying hard. We’ll clarify how attention, planning, and regulation are showing up for you (or your child) and turn insights into simple, repeatable systems.

My approach is integrative and practical. We focus on what helps this week: right‑sized planning, task initiation supports, time awareness, and emotion regulation, so you see steady gains, not just good intentions.

You might be experiencing:

Rushing in late or missing pieces you need
Procrastinating, then sprinting close to deadlines
Trouble starting tasks or switching between them
Losing track of keys, phone, or essentials
Zoning out in conversations, classes, or meetings
Forgetting commitments or making avoidable mistakes
Interrupting, fidgeting, or feeling “too much” in groups
Feeling capable but inconsistent, and frustrated by it
For kids/teens: homework battles, time blindness, big reactions

How I Can Help

We’ll start with what’s hardest: time, tasks, or follow‑through, and map the patterns behind it. I use an integrative, evidence‑based mix (CBT/ACT/DBT skills with mindfulness and self‑compassion) to build realistic systems for planning, starting tasks, and emotion regulation.

We offer a brief, focused psychological evaluation to explore how inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity may be affecting your daily life. From there, strategy sessions help you turn insights from your results into practical plans to strengthen focus, follow-through, and time management.

For ADHD, we often focus on:

Right‑sized weekly planning and calendar use
Task start supports (micro‑steps, cueing, timers)
Time awareness tools (anchors, alarms, visual timers)
Body‑doubling and accountability structures
Email/portal boundaries and digital hygiene
Emotion regulation for frustration and overwhelm
Study/homework routines and classroom supports
Parent coaching and communication scripts

Child & Adult
ADHD Evaluations

Have you wondered whether you, your child, or your teenager might be struggling with ADHD? An evaluation can bring clarity, at any age. In addition to working with kids and teens, I specialize in adult ADHD assessments and provide a plain-language report that clearly explains your results. With an accurate diagnosis, you can make informed decisions about strategies, medication, and workplace or school accommodations, support that truly fits your life.

Insurance & Payment Options

I offer in-person sessions in Central Austin and secure telehealth sessions for clients located in states where I’m licensed to practice and in participating PSYPACT states. I am not in-network with any insurance companies, but I can provide a superbill for you to submit to your plan if they reimburse for out-of-network services, or for use with your HSA/FSA.

Integrative Psychology: As a licensed psychologist, Dr. Ayre’s fees qualify for out‑of‑network reimbursement under nearly all insurance plans. Her fees are within the usual and customary range (UCR). It is highly recommended that clients contact their insurance company to obtain information about reimbursement prior to scheduling if this is an area of concern.

FSA/HSA Accounts: We accept Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA) and Health Savings Accounts (HSA) to pay for both visit fees and in-office supplements. FSAs and HSAs can also be used to purchase supplements on Fullscript. Any letters of medical necessity, supporting documentation, or communication with your insurance company and/or FSA/HSA carrier will be billed by the minute at your hourly rate.
Payment Methods: We accept all major credit/debit cards, including FSA/HSA cards and Venmo. We do not accept cash. A card is required on file at the time of scheduling. If that credit card on file is an FSA or HSA card, a backup card is also required to be on file.

From Overwhelmed to Focused

She pulled all‑nighters and missed details. We set a weekly 20‑minute plan, used a two‑timer start routine, and added body‑doubling for tough courses. Fewer emergencies; more steady work.

Meetings and tasks slid together. We created time anchors, protected one planning block, and added short “reset” alarms. On‑time arrivals improved and end‑of‑day felt calmer.

Evenings were chaos. We built a visual plan, 10‑minute task starts, and two teacher check‑ins per week. Task initiation improved and conflicts dropped.

Years of “I should be able to do more” and emotional whiplash. Evaluation clarified inattentive‑type ADHD. We paired right‑sized planning with emotion regulation. Less guilt; more follow‑through.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is ADHD?

A neurological condition that affects attention, time management, and follow‑through. It can present as Hyperactive/Impulsive, Inattentive, or Combined type.

What is executive functioning?

Your brain’s management system: planning, prioritizing, working memory, emotion regulation, and task completion. Challenges can stem from ADHD and can also be affected by stress, anxiety, or depression.

Is ADHD a motivation problem?

No. It’s not a willpower issue. Most people aren’t choosing patterns that create real‑world consequences.

Do adults have ADHD too?

Yes. Many adults discover ADHD later, especially women who were missed in childhood.

Is medication required?

No. Some benefit from medication, others from strategies, and many from both. If medications could help, we’ll coordinate with your prescriber or refer as needed.

Will diagnosis help with school or work?

Often. A formal report can support accommodations and may be requested by medical providers. Check your school or employer policies.

Do I have to decide on strategy sessions right away?

No. They work best soon after testing, while results are fresh. The $200 package discount applies when scheduled together with the evaluation.

What if I don't meet the criteria for ADHD but still struggle?

You’re welcome here. Many people benefit from targeted strategies even without a diagnosis.

Can this be done virtually?

Yes. Evaluations and sessions can be completed via secure telehealth where licensure allows.

What is your cancellation policy?

Sessions canceled ≥48 hours in advance incur no fee. Late cancellations/no‑shows are billed at the full session rate. One illness‑related or emergency reschedule may be offered without penalty at discretion.
