Focused ADHD Treatment & Testing in New Jersey for Children & Adults
Stop Letting ADHD Run the Show: Manage It with CPG
ADHD is not only inattention; it is often a storm of executive dysfunction. That’s struggling to organize, plan, start, or finish basic tasks as your brain constantly shifts decisions. According to the CDC’s National Survey of Children’s Health, 11.4% of U.S. children aged 3 to 17 had been diagnosed with ADHD as of 2022.
The licensed psychologists & psychiatrists at CPG understand the invisible weight ADHD carries: missed deadlines, emotional crashes, and the war between what you want to do and what your brain lets you finish. Our ADHD testing and therapy services in New Jersey help you build sustainable strategies for children, teens, and adults. ADHD rarely travels alone, and anxiety, depression, and learning differences frequently sit alongside it. Identifying what else is present is part of getting treatment right.
ADHD Types and Common Symptoms
ADHD affects how children, teens & adults focus, manage tasks, and control impulses. It’s typically divided into three types. Each type shows up differently across ages, but all impact daily life. Presentation also shifts with age, so hyperactivity that looked like constant motion in childhood often becomes internal restlessness in adulthood. That shift is one reason ADHD goes unrecognised in adults for years.
Symptoms of Inattentive ADHD
This type of ADHD is marked by distractibility, forgetfulness, and difficulty staying focused on a task.
Symptoms include:
- Trouble focusing for extended periods
- Difficulty staying organized
- Frequent daydreaming or zoning out
- Forgetting daily tasks or misplacing items
- Avoidance of tasks requiring high attention
Symptoms of Hyperactive-Impulsive ADHD
This type is more physical, characterized by constant motion, talking, and acting without thinking.
Symptoms include:
- Fidgeting or squirming
- Feeling restless
- Talking excessively or interrupting others
- Difficulty waiting in lines or for a turn
- Trouble playing or working quietly
Symptoms of Combined ADHD
Most people with ADHD have a combined type, meaning they show signs of both inattentiveness and hyperactivity/impulsivity.
Knowing what type of ADHD you are experiencing helps shape treatment (therapy+medication) strategies that are more effective and personalized.
Therapies and Counseling We Offer for ADHD
Certified Psychologists and Psychiatrists of CPG extensively offer a wide range of therapies and counseling services for ADHD treatment. Therapy for ADHD works on the practical systems that make daily life manageable: planning, time awareness, task initiation, and emotional regulation. It is often combined with medication, which improves attention while therapy builds the habits that use it.

How We Diagnose Adult ADHD Online
Our board-certified psychiatrists and psychologists use evidence-based screening tools to evaluate focus issues, executive dysfunction, and mental fatigue in children, teens & adults, through our clinics and secure telepsychiatry. A screening questionnaire alone is never enough for a diagnosis, so results are interpreted alongside a structured clinical interview. Symptoms must also date from childhood and affect more than one setting, which separates ADHD from stress or burnout.
1. First Session
We discuss how symptoms like disorganization, task avoidance, or emotional swings impact study, work, deadlines, and relationships.
2. Clinical Tools
You'll complete digital ADHD testing/assessments (such as the ASRS) that align with DSM-5 diagnostic criteria to measure attention, impulsivity, and real-world effects.
3. Mental Health Review
Our professional will review your and your family’s medical history. Subsequently, we will exclude other concurrent issues that might be related to ADHD.
4. Diagnosis & Plan
If you are diagnosed with ADHD, our team will create a personalized treatment plan that includes therapy, counseling, and medication.
ADHD Testing/Diagnosis for Children, Teens, Adults
The multidisciplinary clinical team at CPG assists ADHD patients of all ages. We focus on your actual problems that are disturbing normal functioning. For children, assessment draws on standardized rating scales such as the Vanderbilt and Conners forms. Input from both home and school is a requirement of accurate diagnosis.
Evidence-Based Testing/Evaluation
We speak with you and your child to learn about behaviors like forgetfulness, trouble sitting still, or emotional outbursts.
