Sound Familiar?
ADHD in adults and older teens rarely looks like the classroom stereotype. It looks like a smart, capable person quietly exhausted by systems that don’t fit their brain:
- Starting ten things, finishing one — on a good day
- Time that evaporates, deadlines that ambush
- Hyperfocus on the interesting; paralysis on the boring
- A desk, inbox, and mind that resist every organizing system
- Careless-mistake feedback since childhood, despite real effort
- Restlessness, interrupting, or a motor that won’t idle
Checking boxes as you read? Ask about an assessment — a short conversation can tell you whether testing makes sense.
Why Get Formally Assessed
An online quiz can raise the question; only a structured assessment can answer it. A formal evaluation distinguishes ADHD from the conditions that mimic it, documents what supports you’re entitled to, and gives any prescriber or school a foundation they can act on.
Is it ADHD, anxiety, or both?
This is the most common question we hear, because the overlap is real: both can wreck focus, sleep, and follow-through. The difference is the engine — anxiety disrupts attention with worry; ADHD disrupts it at the wiring level, worry or not. And plenty of people have both, with anxiety built on years of ADHD friction.
A structured assessment untangles which is driving what — which matters enormously, because the treatments differ.

What the Assessment Includes
A thorough clinical interview covering your history from childhood forward, standardized rating scales (including input from someone who knows you well, when possible), and screening for the conditions that mimic or travel with ADHD — anxiety, depression, sleep issues, and learning differences.
How long does it take, and what do I walk away with?
Typically a few appointments: an intake interview, testing time, and a feedback session where we walk through everything together — no jargon dump, real answers to your questions.
You leave with a written report: findings, diagnosis (or a clear explanation of why not), and concrete recommendations you can take to a prescriber, a school, an employer, or straight into therapy with us.

Beyond the Diagnosis
A diagnosis is a starting line, not a finish line. Whatever the assessment finds, we can help with what comes next — ADHD-informed therapy, executive-function skills, mindfulness training for attention, and coordination with prescribers. Same practice, same people, no starting over.
