Understand your Attention, Improve your Life

Along the way, you’ve noticed that things just seem harder for you than they do for others. You’ve replaced your keys—or your glasses—more times that you’d like to count. You’ve spent too much money on parking and/or speeding tickets. And if it wasn’t for autopay on your bills, you’d be drowning in late fees. You have piles and half-finished projects all over the place. You might have been the kid who was smart enough to get by without trying, but now as an adult, that strategy has stopped working.

ADHD is not a character flaw and it’s not a matter of needing to try harder. It’s a difference in how the brain manages attention, motivation, and executive function, and this shows up differently depending on the person. Some people are visibly hyperactive, but many are not. They may daydream, or “space out,” or be unable to tolerate boredom. Some people may feel unable to start tasks while others struggle to finish the final few details.

We offer neurodiversity-affirming ADHD evaluations for adults. The objective is to provide more than just a diagnosis. It’s an opportunity to provide you with a clear, accurate picture of how your brain works, so you can stop guessing and start building a life that actually fits you. Many of our clients are intelligent, high-achieving professionals who know that better understanding their profile will enable them to utilize the supports they need to achieve even greater heights.

Two ways to get Evaluated

Not everyone needs the same depth of testing, so we offer two options to fit your needs.

Express ADHD Evaluation

If your question is simply “ADHD: Yes or No?” this is built for you. It includes one online appointment (typically scheduled within 1 to 2 weeks), discussion of results and next steps, and a short written report with a quick turnaround time. It’s a good fit for someone who needs a fast, targeted answer, whose physician requested testing to rule out ADHD, or who needs documentation for a 504 plan.

Comprehensive ADHD Evaluation

If you need documentation for accommodations at school or work, want a fuller picture that also rules out or identifies co-occurring conditions like autism, anxiety, or a learning disorder, or your situation is more complex than a quick screen can capture, this option is the better fit.

If there is a specific audience or purpose for the report, let us know on the front end! For standardized testing accommodations, university accommodations, or other specific purposes, there may be additional requirements from the agency. If what is requested is outside one of our standard packages, we can provide you with a more accurate cost estimate.

Privacy

Why go Private pay?

Going through insurance means your results become part of a record that other people, including future insurers, can access. A private pay evaluation stays yours. You decide who sees it, when, and why. This is why many of our clients choose to get private evaluations.

Your information stays private

You control who sees your results and share them only when you choose.
No insurance record

Your evaluation is not shared with insurance companies or future insurers.

You choose when, why, and who it’s shared with.

Recognition

Signs worth paying attention to

In adults, ADHD can look like chronic lateness or the opposite: Showing up way too early because you don’t trust yourself to manage time. Some people have piles of unfinished projects, a calendar full of appointments they have almost missed, or a tendency to hyperfocus on things they love and total paralysis on things they don’t. Rejection sensitivity is also very common. Criticism that someone else could ignore can affect you for weeks.

If some of this sounds familiar, it may be worth getting an evaluation. It’s not proof of anything on its own, but it’s a reason to get a real answer instead of continuing to guess.

Frequently asked questions

How do I know if I have ADHD?

ADHD may be worth evaluating if you experience ongoing difficulties with attention, organization, time management, impulsivity, forgetfulness, or completing tasks, especially if those difficulties have been present since childhood and affect more than one area of your life.

Can adults have ADHD without being diagnosed as children?

Yes. Many adults are diagnosed later in life after recognizing patterns of attention difficulty, executive functioning challenges, or consistent struggles with daily responsibilities. Sometimes people can “get by” through childhood but are unable to keep it up once they get older and expectations get higher.

What’s the difference between the Express and Comprehensive evaluation?

The Express evaluation answers a focused yes-or-no question quickly. The Comprehensive evaluation goes deeper, includes more testing, and is appropriate when accommodations documentation or co-occurring conditions are part of the picture.

Can ADHD testing identify other conditions?

Yes. Attention difficulties can stem from ADHD, autism, anxiety, learning disorders, or a combination of these. A comprehensive evaluation helps sort out what’s actually driving what you’re experiencing.
