🎥 Clinician Q&A with Dr. Rachna Varia

What does ADHD testing actually look like, and how can you tell if your child may benefit from an evaluation? Dr. Rachna Varia walks families through the process in this expert Q&A.

With 25 years of experience specializing in psychoeducational and neuropsychological evaluations, Dr. Varia has extensive expertise in identifying ADHD and understanding how attention, executive functioning, memory, processing speed, and emotional factors can impact a child’s daily life and academic performance.

In this video, she explains what ADHD testing may look like for your child, what clinicians are evaluating during the process, and how testing helps uncover the “why” behind challenges with focus, organization, impulsivity, learning, and behavior.

Known for her thorough, direct, and personable approach, Dr. Varia ensures evaluations feel supportive and engaging for children, not intimidating. She also helps families understand results in a clear, practical way so they can move forward confidently with meaningful support both at home and at school.

Bullying can impact far more than a child’s social experience. It can affect anxiety levels, self-esteem, emotional regulation, school performance, and overall mental health.

Signs that children are experiencing bullying may include:

school avoidance
Mood changes
Irritability
Withdrawal from friends or activities
Declining grades
anxiety or emotional outbursts

At MindWell Psychology, we believe every child deserves to feel safe, supported, and heard. Our team provides therapy and mental health support for children and teens across Virginia, both in person (immediate availability for ages 15+) and virtually (immediate availability ages 6+).

If your child is struggling emotionally due to bullying, social stress, anxiety, or school-related concerns, early support can make a meaningful difference.

Sometimes the most important question is “how are you, really?”

Conversations can play a powerful role in supporting mental health. Simple questions like:

“How are you, really?”
“What’s been on your mind lately?”
“How has school been feeling lately?”

can help individuals feel safe, supported, and understood.

At MindWell Psychology, we believe open communication helps build connection, emotional resilience, and healing.

Many children, teen, adults, and patients struggle silently with anxiety, stress, bullying, self-esteem concerns, undiagnosed learning differences, or emotional overwhelm. Creating space for honest conversations can help families recognize when additional support may be beneficial.

If your child may benefit from therapy, emotional support, or psychological testing our team is here to help guide your family through the process with compassion and care. 💚

Not all children who are struggling look like they’re struggling.

Many twice exceptional (2e) children are doing well academically, but still experience challenges with attention, anxiety, social skills, emotional regulation, or autism-related traits that can easily be overlooked. Because they are bright, creative, and high-achieving, their difficulties may go unnoticed for years.

At MindWell, we often hear parents say:
“My child gets good grades, so I didn’t think anything was wrong.”

A comprehensive psychological evaluation can help uncover both your child’s strengths and the areas where they may need support, providing clarity for home, school, and beyond.

If you’ve been wondering whether there’s “something more” beneath the surface, we’re here to help. 💙
