Adult ADHD Therapy in Bucks County/Anywhere in PA

---

ADHD in adulthood is very individual and often doesn't look like the stereotypes — it can show up as chronic disorganization, trouble starting work or finishing what you start, difficulty regulating emotions, and often an awareness that you are working much harder than others but not seeing the results.  Often you feel you must be lazy or not smart enough when the explanation is really ADHD.

In your first few sessions I provide a clinical interview in which we explore whether ADHD fits your life experiences.  While children require formal assessment tests in order to qualify for school accommodations, adults do not require this in most cases.   I also work with adults who already have a diagnosis. (Note: I provide therapy, not testing or medication management — I'm happy to help coordinate with a prescriber if that's part of your care.)

Learning you have ADHD as an adult can be pretty emotionally charged and so ADHD therapy is more than techniques.  Therapy is also an opportunity to talk through and understand yourself in light of the diagnosis and to process what your individual symptoms of ADHD (because ADHD comes in many shapes) mean for you--now, in your future goals and in your review of the past.  

I am an in-network provider for Highmark BCBS, Blue Cross Blue Shield PPO plans, Aetna, and Medicare. Private pay and out-of-network billing support are also available.

I am Dr. Deborah Blumenthal, a licensed clinical psychologist in Bucks County, PA, and I've worked with adults for over 20 years on building systems and strategies that fit how their brains work. Sessions are held via secure telehealth video, so you can work with me from anywhere in Pennsylvania.
