Adult ADHD Evaluations
Adults
A clear answer after years of wondering
Many adults who come to us have been wondering about ADHD for years. Some recognized themselves in a video online. Others sat in on their child’s evaluation and realized they could answer every question about themselves too.
Our practice works with adults who want a clear, thorough answer instead of a ten-minute screening. Some places give every single client an ADHD diagnosis—we feel that it is most important to get accurate information about yourself, so you can take your results seriously.
Hidden in plain sight
Why ADHD gets missed in adults
Many of adults spent decades compensating. They got good grades by pulling all-nighters, built elaborate systems of alarms and sticky notes, or worked twice as hard as everyone around them without knowing why. Women and high achievers get missed constantly, because the struggle happened on the inside where no one could see it.

The process
What the evaluation looks like
We talk through your history in detail, including childhood, school, work, and relationships. You’ll complete standardized testing and rating scales, and with your permission, we may ask someone who knew you as a child or knows you well now to fill out a questionnaire.

Overlapping presentations
ADHD and autism together
ADHD and autism co-occur more often than most people realize. If you’ve ever felt that ADHD explains some of your experience but not all of it, we can look at both in the same evaluation.
After testing
What you walk away with
You’ll get a clear answer and a written report, plus a feedback session to go over what it means for your life. The report can be shared with a prescriber if you want to explore medication, and it can support requests for workplace or academic accommodations.
Access
Telehealth across 40+ states
Through PSYPACT, we see adults by telehealth in more than 40 states, and in person in the Glenview, Illinois area. Most evaluations begin within two to three weeks.
Evaluation rates
For most clients, the rate for an ADHD evaluation is $2,250. The total cost includes all sessions, a report of results and recommendations, and a feedback session to explain results and answer any questions that you may have. For additional concerns or needs, we can address these needs for an additional cost at our hourly rate. To add additional testing to assess for autism, the evaluation cost is $2,575. Older teens may need to include more extensive information from parents and other contacts (teachers, therapists, more extensive record review), especially if reporting is needed for school or standardized testing accommodations, and additional charges apply.
