ADHD Assessments
ADHD Assessment for Brains That Sprint, Zig-Zag, and Overthink Everything
Some brains run a million miles an hour.
Some brains notice everything, all at once, and forget the things that seem “obvious” to everyone else.
Some brains hyper-focus on what excites them—and ignore clocks, deadlines, or even lunch.
An ADHD assessment helps us understand how your brain pays attention, processes time, organizes information, and regulates energy—without judging, labeling, or trying to “normalize” you. We’re here to help you see your strengths, understand your challenges, and untangle the patterns that have been confusing or exhausting.
Our Neurodivergent-Affirming Approach
We don’t pathologize creativity, quirks, or principled thinking. Many ADHD brains are clever, innovative, hyper-curious, and highly adaptable. These are strengths—until masking, misunderstanding, or lack of support makes them exhausting.
This assessment helps clarify:
✔ What is ADHD
✔ What is neurodivergence
✔ What is you
✔ Where support (not suppression) can help
What You’ll Receive:
✔ A report that actually makes sense and is written for humans, not robots with:
✔ Background and developmental context
✔ Clear, judgment-free interpretation of results
✔ Practical and personalized recommendations that don’t involve “just try harder”
✔ Feedback session to review results together, answer lingering questions, and discuss next steps that actually fit your brain
What This Assessment Includes
Think of this as a collaboration between you and a clinician who gets it:
✔ Deep-dive clinical interview (we listen, really listen), leaving space for the stuff you usually keep to yourself:
✔ Executive functioning challenges that frustrate you
✔ Emotional regulation struggles
✔ Coping strategies that actually work
✔ Weird, “nobody gets me” experiences
✔ ADHD-specific interviews and standardized measures, such as:
✔ DIVA-5
✔ BRIEF-2 or ESQ
✔ CAARS, MOXO CPT, or other ADHD assessments
✔ Screeners for co-occurring experiences, including:
✔ Autism
✔ OCD
✔ Anxiety
✔ Trauma
✔ Sensory sensitivities
✔ Personality inventories
Session Structure
✔ Usually 2-3 sessions, with each session being about 2 hours long
Sessions are paced for brains that need breaks, snacks, or just a moment to stare into space.
Assessment Formats:
✔ Stand-alone ADHD assessment (all about your unique brain)
✔ Add-on to another evaluation—autism, OCD, or other neurodivergent brain check
Each option reflects our neurodiversity-affirming approach, tailored to meet your goals.
For some, the diagnostic process is about more than just answers—it's about being truly seen and heard. Sharing your story can be a deeply healing experience, especially if you've been through non-affirming assessments in the past. Should you discover you're ADHD, together we'll explore next steps, resources, and strategies to help you embrace this new chapter with confidence and self-understanding.
We’re here to meet you where you are, offering high-quality evaluations tailored to your goals and needs.

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. What are my options?
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.
