Renewing Mindsets: Premier ADHD Assessments & Support in Philadelphia


Do you suspect ADHD in yourself or a loved one? Understanding the diagnosis process and accessing appropriate support are crucial steps toward effective management. At Renewing Mindsets, we offer comprehensive ADHD assessments and personalized treatment plans to help individuals thrive with ADHD across the lifespan.


Diagnosing ADHD: A Comprehensive Approach


To receive an accurate ADHD diagnosis, individuals undergo a thorough evaluation process:


Diagnostic Criteria: The latest edition of the DSM-5 outlines specific criteria for ADHD diagnosis, including symptoms of inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity that impair daily functioning.


Referral for Testing: Referrals typically come from healthcare providers, educators, or concerned family members based on observed symptoms and functional impairments.


Comprehensive Evaluation: Our experienced team conducts clinical interviews, behavioral assessments, cognitive testing, and mental health screenings to gather comprehensive data.


Collateral Information: Input from multiple sources, including parents, teachers, and past records, provides a holistic view of the individual's symptoms and functioning.


Feedback and Diagnosis: Following the evaluation, we provide a detailed report summarizing findings and recommendations. If warranted, we diagnose specific ADHD presentations and discuss next steps for treatment.


Personalized Treatment Plans: Empowering Individuals with ADHD


After receiving an ADHD diagnosis, individuals benefit from personalized treatment plans tailored to their unique needs:


Medication Management: We guide patients in finding the right medication type, dosage, and delivery method to minimize symptoms while minimizing side effects.


Psychotherapy: Ongoing counseling helps individuals develop coping skills, manage stress, and improve social interactions.


ADHD Coaching: Coaches provide structure, support, and accountability in implementing organizational strategies and time management techniques.


Academic and Workplace Accommodations: We assist in securing accommodations such as extended time on tests, preferential seating, and workplace modifications to support success in school and work environments.


Lifestyle Adjustments: Optimizing sleep, nutrition, exercise, and stress management complements medical and behavioral treatments.


Support Groups: Connecting with others navigating ADHD provides community, accountability, and practical coping strategies.

Schedule an Appointmet
  • What is the soonest that I can be seen?
    The fastest way to be seen is through a virtual session, which we can typically schedule within 1-3 days. We can start both the psychiatric evaluation and the ADHD comprehensive assessment virtually. The first part of the ADHD assessment, the psychiatric evaluation, will be done virtually, and then you can come into the office for in-person testing within the next few days. Alternatively, you have the option to complete the entire ADHD comprehensive assessment in one visit to our office.
  • Do you assist with accommodations for school and referral letters?
    Yes, we do. At Renewing Mindsets, we assist with accommodations for school, referral letters, and psychiatric evaluation letters for individuals who have been tested with us and meet the diagnosis criteria. We have helped our clients with accommodation letters for exams such as the LSAT for law school, the MCAT for medical school, the NCLEX for nursing school, as well as the NBME and the MBE (Multistate Bar Examination). Additionally, we write accommodation letters for individuals needing workplace accommodations.
  • I'm located in State College, PA, or Pittsburgh, and I'm interested in ADHD testing, a psychiatric evaluation, or psychiatric care. Can I be seen quickly?
    A: Absolutely! We provide virtual services throughout Pennsylvania, including State College, Pittsburgh, and Philadelphia. In State College and Pittsburgh, we exclusively see clients virtually, which has been very well-received by our clients who appreciate the flexibility and convenience of accessing care from anywhere. Clients are usually seen virtually within 1-3 days. Through our secure portal, you'll have 24/7 access to resources, prompt communication with our team, and timely, thorough reports. We’re here to support you every step of the way!
  • How Does ADHD testing work?
    For individuals seeking clarity on ADHD symptoms, adhd diagnosis, or requiring accommodations, our ADHD Comprehensive Evaluation is recommended and offers a thorough assessment that includes both virtual and in-person psychiatric evaluations, followed by in-person computerized ADHD testing. ADHD Comprehensive Evaluation ($460): Includes psychiatric evaluation with computerized TOVA testing. Evaluations can be conducted virtually and in person. This is essential for those seeking an ADHD diagnosis, accommodation, or treatment planning. Standardized ADHD Testing ($255): The purpose of T.O.V.A. (Test of Variables of Attention) testing is to objectively assess attention-related difficulties, such as those associated with ADHD (Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder). This does not include a diagnosis but is to accompany a previous provider's specific request for diagnostic testing only. Accommodations: To obtain ADHD accommodations, a comprehensive ADHD evaluation is necessary, and we provide accommodation letters for an additional fee of $95.
  • I was previously diagnosed. Will you manage my treatment and medication?
    Currently no, we do not manage ongoing treatment and medication for previously diagnosed individuals. Our focus is primarily on conducting ADHD evaluations and ensuring availability for our new patients seeking treatment management.
  • Do you accept insurance?
    Hi, thank you for reaching out to Renewing Mindsets. We are an out-of-network provider and do not accept insurance for ADHD testing. However, we strive to keep our services affordable, with pricing starting at $95. We accept HSA, FSA, debit, and credit card payments. Additionally, we can create a superbill that you can submit to your insurance provider for potential reimbursement. You can view our appointment availability and detailed pricing on our "Schedule an Appointment" section of the website.
