ADHD looks different in teens and adults than it does in kids — especially in high-achievers who’ve developed workarounds that mask the real picture. A proper evaluation cuts through that.
Who Gets Tested for ADHD
Teens struggling with focus, organization, or follow-through despite clear intelligence. Adults who’ve always been “scattered” or “too much” and are wondering if there’s a reason. Women who’ve been anxious their whole lives but suspect something else is going on underneath. People who’ve tried to manage with willpower and are running out of it.
High-Masking Clients
Many adults and teens who come to me for assessment have spent years being told they’re fine — or being too good at appearing that way. High-masking people hold it together at work and school. Underneath there’s often undiagnosed ADHD or autism that’s been missed because they present so well. If you’ve always felt different but never had a name for it, a comprehensive evaluation can finally answer that question.
What the Evaluation Covers
Cognitive and executive function testing. Rating scales from multiple informants. Clinical interview covering developmental history, school performance, and daily functioning. Ruling out anxiety, learning disabilities, and other presentations that overlap with ADHD.
What You Get
A comprehensive written report with diagnosis (if applicable), specific recommendations for school or workplace accommodations, and guidance on next steps — whether that’s therapy, medication consultation, or coaching strategies.
