ADHD Assessment, Therapy, and Coaching

Living With Attention and Executive Functioning Struggles

Navigating life with attention differences can make staying organized, meeting deadlines, and managing time feel like an uphill climb. You may start projects with great enthusiasm only to find your focus drifting when routine details require attention.

For many adults and college students, this constant friction leads to frustration, chronic mental fatigue, and a lingering sense that your abilities are not fully reflected in your daily accomplishments.

Assessment, Therapy, and Practical Coaching

We provide comprehensive care that includes psychological assessment, therapy, and skills coaching. Dr. Della S. Lusk conducts formal psychological and educational evaluations, offering diagnostic clarification for ADHD and, when clinically indicated, comprehensive autism assessment.

Therapy uses CBT to address emotional regulation, low mood, and related life transitions. Distinct from therapy, our coaching focuses on practical skills: ADHD coaching, executive functioning coaching, social skills coaching, and autism coaching help you master schedules, organization, and daily habits.

What Getting Started and Ongoing Work Entail

Getting started begins with an initial conversation with our office at (928) 774-7997. We review whether your primary need is formal evaluation, therapy, or targeted coaching.

Assessment sessions involve structured testing and clinical interviews to understand your cognitive patterns. In ongoing therapy or coaching, meetings focus on breaking complex projects down, establishing supportive routines, and evaluating what tools work best for you.

Where ADHD Services Are Provided

We deliver ADHD therapy and coaching via secure video for clients across Arizona and in participating interstate compact states. Dr. Della S. Lusk provides telepsychology in participating PSYPACT states, while Ms. Braun-Dunagan provides counseling in participating Counseling Compact states, depending on where you are physically located during the session. For clients in Yuma, therapy and coaching take place by video, as detailed on our Yuma psychological services page.

We also conduct in-person evaluations, therapy, and coaching at our Flagstaff office, located at 710 N Beaver Street, BLDG 4. For assessment, not every part of testing can be done by video; that is decided in consultation, and in-person appointments are coordinated when an instrument requires it. Students can read our page for the NAU community, and you can explore our Flagstaff psychological services overview.

Questions people ask

How many weeks does ADHD care typically take?

Therapy and coaching often involve weekly meetings across roughly 8 to 16 weeks, though testing has a separate timeline and coaching duration depends on personal goals.

Can ADHD assessments be completed entirely online?

Not every part of testing can be completed by video. Certain evaluation instruments require in-person administration, which we coordinate when needed, while therapy and coaching can take place entirely online.

How is ADHD coaching different from ADHD therapy?

Therapy addresses emotional regulation, self-worth, and co-occurring anxiety or mood issues, whereas coaching focuses directly on practical organizational tools and executive functioning.

Can biofeedback help with attention and focus?

Biofeedback is available at our practice to assist with attention concerns and relaxation training, helping you learn to self-regulate focus and physical tension.
