Our Approach
The Sachs Center specializes in ADHD & Autism (ASD) testing and treatment in children, teens, and adults. Diagnosing neurodiversity is our main focus. This is why our psychologists are experts in the field of ADHD and Autism. We understand how ADHD and Autism appear in highly masked individuals, particularly in girls and women.
At the Sachs Center, we believe in going beyond labels. Our approach to ADHD & Autism (ASD) testing and treatment is holistic and person-centered. We understand that both Autism (ASD) and ADHD come with challenges, but we also see neurodiversity as a unique benefit to society and the individual.
We are a telehealth company. All our services are online via Zoom, Google Meet, etc. This allows you or your loved ones to be tested in the comfort of your own home, reducing stress and anxiety.

Olga Berg
Facilitator | Byron Katie
Dr. Sachs was recommended to me a few months ago. I have been seeing Dr. Sachs for about 6 weeks and he has been doing a superb job in helping me overcome some of my daily challenges with Autism. I always look forward to my next visit to the Sachs Center. It's been a life-changing experience!
Frankly, I have had a lot of interactions with the medical system, in many disciplines, and this is easily one of the most positive experiences I've had. In contrast to other experiences, I felt listened to and treated with kindness and respect. For once it felt like the goal was to understand and not just to patch up the symptoms.
Step 1: ADHD or Autism Evaluation
Virtual Diagnostic Evaluation
The first step in working for change is our two-hour diagnostic telehealth evaluation. We will meet with you online to learn more about you or your loved one’s struggles and goals. While we specialize in comprehensive ADD, ADHD & Autism (ASD) testing for children, teens and adults, we also will evaluate for Depression, Anxiety, and other mental health challenges. After the evaluation, we will discuss our findings, and give you a letter indicating your diagnosis and recommended options for treatment. Note: All our 2-hour diagnostic evaluations are online via Zoom or Google Meet.
Our ADHD & Autism Testing Process
The two-hour diagnostic evaluation for Autism, ADD, and ADHD goes beyond a simple checklist. We use the latest diagnostic tools to accurately test for ADHD and Autism (ASD). This ADHD & Autism (ASD) testing process begins with a clinical interview, where we learn about early childhood symptoms and the current challenges that are negatively impacting your life. After the initial clinical interview, you will be given computer-based assessments to further fine-tune our diagnostic impression. We are specialists in Autism and ADHD and have a wealth of experience in ASD and ADHD.
Neuropsychological Testing
Neuropsychological or psychoeducational testing is not needed for a diagnosis of ASD or ADHD. It is necessary, however, to receive accommodations in school or extra time on a standardized test. We have been successful in getting extra time accommodations for our clients on the SAT, ACT, GRE, GMAT, MCAT, etc. Neuropsychological testing can also be helpful in determining if your child has a learning disorder. We offer weekend hours for busy students and their families.

Step 2: Getting Help for ADHD or Autism
Telehealth Therapy & Coaching
We offer individual, group, and family teletherapy for children, teens, and adults in need of support for ADD, ADHD, Autism, Anxiety, Depression, school, career, and relationship issues. Dr. Sachs has developed a unique method for ADD, ADHD treatment based on his book, The Adult ADD Solution, called the “Sachs Protocol,” utilizing CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) and psychoeducation to manage ADD, ADHD in adults. Our child psychologists use CBT and the group model (Dragon Masters) to assist children with their unique behavioral and emotional needs.
Neurotribes
We offer a range of online neurotribes or support groups for adults. Currently, we have online neurotribes for adults with ADHD and autistic adults. The groups offer support, accountability and psychoeducational experiences. We also have a parenting support group that meets online once a week.
Social Skills Groups
We have neurotribes for children too! Our popular online social skills groups are run by child psychologists to help children and adolescents who are having difficulty with peer relationships, anxiety, depression and ADHD. Online groups allow children to interact in a private Minecraft realm. Children and adolescents will gain greater acceptance, make friends, strengthen their communication skills, behave more appropriately, reduce anxiety, increase their frustration tolerance, and develop more confidence so they succeed socially.
