ADHD Assessments
Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder beginning in childhood, although many individuals may not be diagnosed until adulthood. People with ADHD may struggle with:
Paying attention and staying focused
Finishing tasks and meeting deadlines
Staying organized and managing time
Impulsivity or acting without thinking
Restlessness or feeling mentally "on the go"
When to consider an ADHD assessment:
You are struggling to stay focused, especially on tasks that require sustained attention.
You feel disorganized and often overwhelmed by daily responsibilities.
You frequently forget things, misplace items, or miss appointments.
You have difficulty finishing tasks, even ones you’re interested in.
Your symptoms interfere with work, relationships, or daily life.
You need an updated assessment for academic accommodations.
If these difficulties align with your experiences, an ADHD assessment can help provide clarity, answers, and a plan for moving forward.
**Please note there is currently a waitlist for ADHD assessments. There is immediate availability for initial consultations.
