Psychological Testing and Assessment

I offer focused psychological testing because I know that full neuropsychological evaluations can be expensive, time-consuming, and more extensive than many clients actually need. Sometimes what’s most helpful is a targeted evaluation that can answer the specific question at hand: such as whether ADHD is present, or how to best clarify a diagnosis to guide treatment. My approach is grounded in therapeutic assessment, which means I work collaboratively with clients throughout the process. Instead of testing being something “done to you,” it becomes a supportive experience where we explore your history, gather information together, and use results to create meaning and direction. This approach not only provides accurate answers, but also helps clients feel understood, empowered, and equipped with practical next steps for care.

Adult ADHD Evaluation

What is ADHD?

ADHD (Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder) is a form of neurodivergence that affects attention, focus, and executive functioning. It can create challenges with organization, follow-through, and regulation, but also brings unique strengths such as creativity, energy, and innovation.
 

Why?

​ADHD can impact focus, organization, time management, and productivity, but its symptoms often overlap with anxiety, depression, trauma, or learning differences. A thorough evaluation provides clarity, helping you understand whether ADHD is the best explanation for your challenges or whether other factors are contributing. Clear answers mean more effective treatment, accommodations, and support.

​

This evaluation can help:

  • To determine if ADHD is contributing to challenges with focus, organization, or impulsivity.

  • To provide a clear ADHD diagnosis without requiring a full neuropsychological battery.

  • To offer a lower-cost, lower-time commitment option while still giving reliable answers.

​​

For Who?

  • Adults who wonder if ADHD is contributing to difficulties at work, school, or daily life

  • Clients who have been misdiagnosed in the past, or who want confirmation of an ADHD diagnosis

  • It is important to note that ADHD is often underdiagnosed in women, since symptoms may show up as anxiety, depression, or perfectionism rather than the more obvious traits seen in boys and men. [Learn more about ADHD in women →

  • Students seeking documentation to request academic accommodations (e.g., extended time, reduced-distraction testing, organizational supports)

  • Providers seeking clarity before recommending ADHD medication

  • Individuals with overlapping symptoms (e.g., ADHD traits + anxiety + trauma) who need answers they can trust

​​

What’s Included:

  • A comprehensive clinical interview covering developmental, medical, educational, and psychiatric history

  • Evidence-based ADHD measures assessing symptoms, daily functioning, and executive skills

  • Objective attention testing (computerized tasks measuring focus and impulse control)

  • Screeners for other conditions (mood, anxiety, trauma, autism traits, learning differences) to try to identify if there may be other causes of presenting concerns

  • A detailed written report integrating history, testing, and interview results

  • A feedback session to review findings, provide diagnosis if appropriate, and discuss tailored recommendations

​​

What's NOT included:

  • This evaluation is focused specifically on ADHD. It is not a substitute for a full neuropsychological or psychoeducational assessment. I do not diagnose autism spectrum disorder or learning disabilities; however, I screen for these concerns and provide referral recommendations if a comprehensive evaluation is warranted.

​​

Why this approach:

If you believe ADHD is your primary concern, this evaluation can be a clear and affordable first step. Instead of committing to a full neuropsychological battery (which often costs $3,000–$5,000 and requires 6–10 hours of testing), this process uses only the tools needed to answer ADHD-specific diagnostic questions. It is:

​

  • Focused – Efficient and targeted to ADHD while still considering important differentials

  • Thorough – Uses gold-standard ADHD tools (CAARS-2, CPT-3, CEFI, WFIRS) along with screening for mood, trauma, and learning challenges

  • Defensible – Provides a clear, well-supported ADHD diagnosis when appropriate

  • Collaborative – Ensures results and recommendations can be shared with your therapist, psychiatrist, or school/workplace if needed

​​

Benefits:

  • Can provide a documented ADHD diagnosis when appropriate.

  • Save time and financial resources compared to a full battery.

  • Guidance for treatment planning, workplace/academic supports, and medication management.

  • Clear path for next steps if further testing is warranted.

Diagnostic Clarification

Why?

  • Mental health symptoms can overlap and feel confusing. Trauma can look like ADHD. Anxiety can mimic OCD. Depression and PTSD can both affect sleep and concentration. Without a clear diagnosis, treatment can miss the mark.

  • A Diagnostic Clarification Evaluation helps cut through the confusion. Whether you’ve been given multiple labels, feel unsure about a past diagnosis, or your providers want a second opinion, this process brings clarity so you and your care team can move forward with confidence.

​​

For Who?

  • Adults who feel past diagnoses don’t fully explain their struggles

  • People preparing to start or adjust psychiatric medication

  • Clients with overlapping symptoms (e.g., trauma, anxiety, depression)

  • Therapists, psychiatrists, or programs seeking a clear diagnostic picture for treatment planning

​​

What’s Included:

  • A brief pre-evaluation call to understand your concerns and goals

  • A testing session using evidence-based measures

  • A clinical interview to explore symptoms in depth

  • A personalized written report that explains the results in plain language

  • A feedback session to review findings, answer questions, and recommend next steps

​​

Benefits / Goals:

  • Clear understanding of your mental health needs.

  • Informed treatment planning for therapy.

  • Guidance for medication management.

  • Confidence in moving forward with the right supports.

​​
