ADULT ADHD DIAGNOSTIC EVALUATIONS

Comprehensive Assessment for Accurate Diagnosis

Accurate adult ADHD diagnosis requires more than a brief screening. Our Adult ADHD Diagnostic Evaluations include a multi-method assessment process designed to understand attention, executive functioning, emotional regulation, and daily life impact.

​

Evaluations typically include:

• In-depth clinical interviews exploring current concerns and developmental history

• Standardized ADHD rating scales and symptom measures

• Executive functioning assessments examining organization, planning, working memory, and impulse control

• Review of academic, occupational, and medical history

• Screening for co-occurring conditions such as anxiety, depression, and trauma-related symptoms

Adult ADHD often overlaps with or is masked by other concerns. We carefully differentiate ADHD from anxiety disorders, mood disorders, learning differences, and stress-related burnout. This ensures diagnostic accuracy and prevents mislabeling or oversimplification.

Our goal is to provide a clear and reliable understanding of your cognitive and emotional profile, reducing uncertainty and replacing self-doubt with informed insight.

Personalized Recommendations for Daily Life

A diagnosis is only the beginning. Our evaluations extend beyond identifying ADHD to offering concrete strategies tailored to your life.

​

Recommendations may address:

• Time management and planning systems that fit your thinking style

• Executive functioning tools for organization and task initiation

• Emotional regulation strategies for overwhelm and reactivity

• Workplace or academic accommodations

• Therapy, coaching, or medication consultation referrals

• Burnout recovery and sustainable productivity approaches

We collaborate with you to ensure that recommendations are realistic, strengths-based, and aligned with your goals. This practical guidance helps you move from insight to implementation, supporting both personal well-being and professional effectiveness.

Evidence-Based Insights for Informed Decisions

Our Adult ADHD Diagnostic Evaluations rely on validated assessment instruments and current clinical research. Findings are synthesized into a comprehensive report that explains patterns of attention, impulse control, executive functioning, and emotional regulation in clear, accessible language.

​

This documentation can support:

• Requests for workplace or academic accommodations

• Medication evaluation with a prescribing provider

• Access to disability services or coaching support

• Long-term planning for career development and life balance

Understanding your cognitive profile empowers you to advocate for yourself confidently and make informed decisions about the supports that will be most effective.

Comprehensive Testing for a Holistic View

Adult ADHD affects more than focus alone. Our evaluation process considers the broader picture of functioning across multiple domains.

Assessment areas may include:

• Attention and concentration across structured and unstructured tasks

• Executive functioning, including planning, prioritization, and follow-through

• Working memory and processing efficiency

• Emotional regulation and stress response

• Adaptive functioning in work, relationships, and daily responsibilities

• Screening for co-occurring conditions such as anxiety, depression, and trauma

By taking a holistic approach, we ensure that recommendations reflect the full context of your life rather than isolated symptoms.

Supportive Consultation for Partners and Families

While adult ADHD evaluations center on the individual, partners or family members can sometimes provide helpful developmental context. When appropriate and with your consent, we may include:

• Guided discussion of early developmental history

• Clarification of long-standing patterns in relationships or work

• Education about ADHD and executive functioning differences

• Strategies for improving communication and shared responsibilities

This collaborative approach can reduce misunderstandings and strengthen support systems while maintaining your autonomy and confidentiality.

Clear and Actionable Reporting

Each evaluation concludes with a detailed written report that includes:

​

• Diagnostic conclusions supported by assessment data

• A clear explanation of symptom patterns and functional impact

• Strengths and areas of challenge across cognitive and emotional domains

• Personalized recommendations for work, school, and daily life

• Referrals to relevant providers or services when appropriate

Reports are structured to be both clinically sound and easy to understand. They can be shared with employers, academic institutions, medical providers, or therapists as needed.
