ADHD Assessment
ADHD— More Common and Misunderstood than we thought
It’s estimated that adult ADHD affects more than eight million people or up to five percent of Americans. (1)
Due to increased awareness of ADHD and what it looks like in people who are not boys/men, researchers are finding that the condition can be just as common in girls/women or genderqueer folks, but it may show up in different ways. (2)
While men are known to display increased hyperactivity and impulsive behaviors, women, on the other hand, demonstrate more inattentive traits. Sometimes, the experience of “hyperactivity” may be more internal or less obvious.
Having a trusted clinician by your side to offer the right resources, accommodations, or therapeutic referrals can make a drastic difference in your quality of life.
Do You Suspect ADHD?
Do you experience challenges with time management, organization, or focus?
Have you ever been called “lazy” or “scattered” when, in reality, your brain just works differently?
Maybe you’ve felt misunderstood because others don’t see how hard you’re trying.
You might find routine tasks overwhelming, yet you can hyper-focus for hours on something that excites you.
Perhaps masking your ADHD traits in social settings leaves you drained, or you’ve been misdiagnosed in the past, making it difficult to fully understand your experiences. ADHD is more than just attention difficulties—it affects how you process the world, regulate emotions, and engage with your passions.
At the same time, ADHD comes with incredible strengths. Many ADHDers are highly creative, innovative, and adaptable. You might thrive in fast-paced environments, think outside the box, and naturally gravitate toward leadership.
If you’re seeking clarity about whether ADHD is part of your neurotype, we’re here to help—without judgment, shame, or stigma.
If you are wondering if you are An ADHD-eR and would like an assessment, WE are here to help.
Our Offerings
At Neuron & Rose, we offer two tailored ADHD assessment options: Focused and Deep Dive. Both are conducted by licensed clinicians who specialize in neurodivergent-affirming practices, many of whom are neurodivergent themselves (ADHD, AuDHD, or Autistic). Our evaluations are grounded in the latest best practices, ensuring the same level of expertise, care, and validation—no matter which option you choose.
The Focused Offering
An efficient pathway for clients who already recognize longstanding ADHD traits and want formal clarity.* This track reduces time and paperwork while preserving clinical rigor and ethical standards.
Our Focused Offering minimizes paperwork and face-to-face time (about 5 hours) while still providing professional insights and clarity. You will complete screeners for other diagnostic possibilities, and you will complete a clinical interview and ADHD interview with the DIVA-5. We offer two levels within this option: a diagnostic letter or a brief report.
✔️ Clinical Interview
✔️ DIVA-5 (included in both Focused and Deep Dive options)
✔️ 1-hour feedback session to review your results and discuss next steps
What are your options with a Focused Offering?
1. Focused Diagnostic Letter ($2,000): A 1–2-page summary highlights the diagnosis and a brief explanation of criteria met and focused recommendations. It offers concise information for sharing with medical professionals, employers, or disability offices.
2. Focused Brief Report ($2,400): A 3–5-page report that expands on the diagnostic letter, with specific examples of your ADHD traits, brief summary of results, and their relevance to your unique profile.
*Focused (streamlined) assessments do not guarantee a diagnosis; and if more information is needed, we may recommend upgrading to the Deep Dive.
The Deep Dive
For those who need formal services, accommodations, or a more detailed understanding of their ADHD profile, our Deep Dive assessment includes an in-depth evaluation with 8-10 hours of face-to-face time. It is designed for those who are not yet self-identified, who are unsure if they are ADHD, who may have complex histories, co-occurring forms of neurodivergence, or those who may need formal accommodations. This comprehensive option involves around 10 hours of face-to-face time. A personality inventory and standardized measures are used in the Deep Dive offering only.
✔️ Personality inventory and standardized measures (such as BRIEF-2 or ESQ, CAARS, MOXO CPT, or other relevant ADHD assessments)
✔️ Up to 2 hours of feedback session time to discuss results, accommodations, and personalized recommendations
What happens at the end of the Deep Dive?
Deep Dive Report ($4,000): A 15–20-page comprehensive report offering in-depth insights, a thorough review of results, detailed explanations of executive functioning challenges and strengths, emotional regulation, and ADHD-specific strategies. It’s ideal for those needing formal documentation for accommodations, workplace support, or personal clarity.
It includes in-depth interpretation of results, as well as extensive recommendations to help you on your post-diagnosis journey.
Each option reflects our neurodiversity-affirming approach, tailored to meet your goals.
Each option reflects our neurodiversity-affirming approach, designed to meet your unique goals. Whether you're seeking a diagnosis for self-understanding, accommodations, or workplace support, we are here to provide compassionate, validating, and evidence-based evaluations.
Choosing between Focused and Deep Dive isn’t about validity—it’s about what level of depth and time commitment fits your needs best. No matter which path you take, we ensure a thorough, affirming, and supportive experience.
Have Complex History?
For those with complex mental health histories, our Deep Dive option provides an opportunity to deeply explore past diagnoses and clarify potential misdiagnoses. If you’re uncertain about the accuracy of previous labels or are seeking validation, this comprehensive assessment allows us to unpack these complexities alongside your ADHD evaluation. Please reach out to discuss which diagnoses can be explored as part of this assessment and which may require an additional fee. Some explorations that require an additional fee are as follows: OCD, Dyslexia, Autism, and Learning Disabilities.

Frequently Asked Questions About ADHD Testing…
I want an assessment, but I can’t afford the cost up front.
Our practice offers flexible payment options with payment plans through Care Credit. Just let the administrative team know, so that you can fully understand your options.
Still need financial assistance? We have created a Pay What You Can model that supports our community while also taking into account the skills of our providers. Please reach out for more information here! In order to support these limited Pay What You Can spots, we have to maintain a certain amount of Full Pay spots, therefore, there may be a wait!
Will my college/psychiatrist/whomever accept any diagnoses you provide?
With both our Deep Dive and Focused Offerings, it is never guaranteed that any outside provider/entity will recognize a diagnosis given by us. Please check in with any providers or institutions to see any requirements they have about the evaluation process that you engage in.
What if I don’t get an ADHD Diagnosis? Was this even worth it? Do I get anything out of it?
Absolutely! Regardless of the outcome, our evaluations are designed to provide valuable insight into your strengths, challenges, and next steps. If you don’t receive an ADHD diagnosis, we’ll work with you to explore self-accommodations, personalized recommendations, and resources that align with your unique experiences. While not getting a diagnosis can feel disappointing or a relief, it’s also an important step toward understanding yourself more deeply and identifying what support may be most beneficial for you. Our goal is to ensure that you leave the process with greater clarity, validation, and actionable strategies to navigate your world with confidence.
Understanding Your ADHD is a Step Toward Self-Acceptance and Empowerment
At Neuron & Rose Psychological Services, our neurodivergent-affirming ADHD assessments are designed to honor and validate the way your brain works—not to "fix" or change you. Our goal is to help you gain a deeper understanding of yourself, your unique strengths, and the challenges you may face in a neurotypical world.
Through this process, we’ll support you in exploring next steps that align with your needs, whether that’s self-accommodation strategies, workplace or academic supports, or simply gaining the confidence to advocate for yourself. Your ADHD is not a flaw—it’s a different way of thinking, feeling, and engaging with the world.
An ADHD evaluation can foster self-awareness, self-compassion, and better communication in your relationships. It can also help you identify tools and environments that allow you to thrive—whether in work, school, or personal life. You deserve to feel seen, supported, and empowered, just as you are.
You can schedule a free initial 15-minute consultation by visiting our contact page. We look forward to guiding you toward a brighter future!
