DO YOU THINK YOU MIGHT HAVE ADHD—BUT YOU'RE NOT SURE WHAT KIND OF EVALUATION YOU NEED?

MANY ADULTS ASSUME THEY NEED HOURS OF COMPREHENSIVE PSYCHOLOGICAL OR NEUROPSYCHOLOGICAL TESTING JUST TO FIND OUT WHETHER THEY HAVE ADHD.

In reality, it depends on the question you're trying to answer.

If you're wondering:

"Do I have ADHD?"

A focused adult ADHD assessment is often the most appropriate place to start.

This evaluation is designed to determine whether you meet diagnostic criteria for ADHD while also considering other conditions that can look similar, such as anxiety, trauma, depression, or chronic stress.

If you're wondering:

"How is my brain functioning overall?"

A comprehensive psychological or neuropsychological evaluation may be more appropriate.

These evaluations answer broader questions about learning disabilities, memory, intellectual functioning, neurological conditions, or multiple areas of cognitive functioning. They typically involve several additional hours of testing and are recommended when there are more complex diagnostic questions.

If, during our consultation, it becomes clear that a comprehensive evaluation would better meet your needs, I'll let you know and help you determine the most appropriate next step.

A thorough evaluation designed to answer one question clearly: Does ADHD best explain what you've been experiencing?

Your ADHD Assessment Can Help You:

  • determine whether ADHD best explains the difficulties you've experienced since childhood

  • better understand why staying organized, starting tasks, or following through has felt so much harder than it seems for others

  • distinguish ADHD from anxiety, trauma, depression, chronic stress, or other conditions that can present similarly

  • recognize both the strengths and challenges that may come with your unique way of thinking

  • identify patterns that have affected work, relationships, school, or daily life

  • receive a clear diagnosis—or clarity that ADHD is not the best explanation

  • better understand how your symptoms affect executive functioning and everyday responsibilities

  • leave with individualized recommendations for treatment, accommodations, or next steps

  • feel more confident discussing your symptoms with your physician, psychiatrist, employer, or school

  • move forward with greater clarity instead of continuing to wonder, "What's wrong with me?"

HOW IT WORKS

A clear, structured evaluation designed to answer one question:

Does ADHD best explain what you've been experiencing?

The evaluation is completed over several steps, giving us time to understand your current concerns, developmental history, and how your symptoms have affected different areas of your life.

1. Free Consultation

We'll begin with a brief consultation to discuss your concerns, determine whether a focused ADHD evaluation is the right fit, and answer any questions you have about the process.

2. Pre-Appointment Forms

Before your first appointment, you'll complete a brief clinical history and standardized ADHD questionnaires. Completing these ahead of time allows us to spend our appointment focused on understanding your experience rather than paperwork.

3. Two Evaluation Sessions

Across two focused evaluation sessions, we'll review your developmental history, current symptoms, and the ways attention, organization, and executive functioning have affected your life. I also complete the DIVA-5 structured diagnostic interview and consider other conditions that can present similarly to ADHD.

4. Feedback Session

We'll meet to review the findings together, discuss whether you meet diagnostic criteria for ADHD, answer your questions, and talk through recommendations for treatment, accommodations, or additional evaluation if needed.

5. Written Diagnostic Summary

You'll receive a written diagnostic summary documenting the evaluation, diagnostic conclusions, and recommendations. This documentation can be used to support conversations with your physician or psychiatrist and, when appropriate, requests for workplace or professional accommodations.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Many adults come into the process unsure whether what they’re experiencing is ADHD, burnout, anxiety, or something else. The evaluation is designed to help clarify these overlapping patterns—you don’t need to have it figured out ahead of time.

  • It depends on what you’re looking for. Some people want diagnostic clarity, while others are more interested in support and regulation. If you’re unsure, a brief consultation can help you decide which path makes the most sense.

  • Before scheduling, consider asking your employer, school, physician, or insurance company what type of evaluation and documentation they require. Doing so can help ensure you receive the evaluation that best meets your needs.

    You may find it helpful to ask:

    "What type of evaluation and documentation do you require? Is a focused adult ADHD diagnostic evaluation from a licensed psychologist sufficient, or do you require comprehensive psychological or neuropsychological testing?"

  • Not always.

    Many adults seeking answers about ADHD do not require a comprehensive neuropsychological evaluation.

    If your primary question is:

    • Do I meet diagnostic criteria for ADHD?

    • Could ADHD explain the difficulties I've experienced since childhood?

    • How do my symptoms compare with anxiety, trauma, or other possible explanations?

    a focused ADHD diagnostic evaluation is often sufficient.

  • Attention, sensory processing, and emotional regulation can overlap across different conditions. Part of the evaluation process involves understanding these patterns in context, so the outcome reflects your full experience rather than a single label.

  • Yes. Many adults seeking evaluation were not identified in childhood. The assessment process looks at your current experience alongside patterns over time, using multiple sources of information to build a clear and accurate understanding.

  • The process is structured, but not rigid. We move through a series of focused questions and measures, while also allowing space to understand your experience in context.

    You don’t need to arrive with a perfectly organized explanation. The goal is to create clarity over time, not to test whether you “fit” a diagnosis.

  • I provide thorough clinical evaluations and documentation to support diagnosis and accommodation requests.

    This includes a formal letter you can use in workplace and professional settings where documentation from a licensed psychologist is needed.
