ADHD testing in Pasadena, CA.
Are you interested in pursuing an ADHD evaluation?
Do you or your child have symptoms that match the criteria for ADHD?
Are you struggling with hyperactivity, lack of focus, and organizational difficulties?
Do you find yourself constantly missing deadlines and feeling overwhelmed at work?
Maybe your ADHD symptoms have led to social issues, family stress, or academic or job challenges. You might have trouble managing your time and constantly procrastinate on important tasks. Perhaps you find it hard to maintain friendships and relationships due to impulsivity and inattentive behaviors. When you forget about social events and obligations, other people may take it personally and think you don’t care. Over time, these problems could lead to feelings of inadequacy and low self-esteem.
On the other hand, perhaps you suspect that your child has ADHD. They might be disruptive in class, unable to sit still, and frequently interrupt their teachers. They may also have difficulty focusing, following instructions, and completing their work on time, which can result in poor grades and falling behind their peers.
Whether you or your child is showcasing symptoms of ADHD, we encourage you to connect with us. Here at Huntington Psychological Services, we specialize in providing comprehensive neuropsychological testing for people of all ages who are struggling with ADHD. Our assessment services aim to help people improve their daily functioning and get the accommodations, referrals, and treatments they need.
Today, there is an ever-increasing demand for ADHD testing
According to the CDC, roughly eleven percent of children ages three to seventeen have been diagnosed with ADHD (1). Additionally, about eight percent of adults ages 18 to 44 have also been diagnosed with the condition (2). And when you consider how many cases of ADHD go undiagnosed, the actual percentages are probably much higher. After all, many adults grew up before much was known about ADHD, so they’ve had to navigate adulthood without adequate support for their struggles.
Thankfully, today there is a growing awareness around ADHD. The stigma has begun to wane and people are starting to realize the profound impact that ADHD can have on daily life. As a result, ADHD assessments have become increasingly normalized. These assessments provide a comprehensive understanding of an individual’s cognitive and behavioral challenges, leading to accurate diagnoses. This enables personalized treatment recommendations, including therapy, medication, and special accommodations at work or school.
Early identification and treatment can also prevent secondary issues such as anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem, making timely evaluations crucial for long-term well-being. Without an assessment, many individuals struggle to perform at work, manage their responsibilities, and maintain healthy relationships. All of these reasons point to the importance of getting an ADHD evaluation.
ADHD testing can help you connect with your strengths and get personalized care
Our ADHD evaluations are highly effective, offering clear insights into the challenges you or your child faces and providing personalized, actionable recommendations to address them. Think of our assessments as a “blueprint” for understanding how you or your child operates. We focus on identifying strengths, vulnerabilities, and specific needs while examining how these factors impact life at home, school, work, and in social relationships. Our approach is warm and kind, and we conduct evaluations with the same care, compassion, and professionalism that we would want for ourselves or our loved ones.
We provide comprehensive, evidence-based ADHD assessments and testing for children, teens, and adults. The benefits of our services go far beyond a mere diagnosis—they can help you learn how to navigate the symptoms of ADHD as well as connect with your inner strengths. After all, many people with ADHD have incredible powers of creativity, multitasking, hyperfocus, and insight. It’s our mission to help you get in touch with your superpowers so that you can harness ADHD to your advantage in life.

We put ourselves in your shoes, ensuring every evaluation is delivered with the compassion, warmth, and professional excellence you and your family deserve.
Our assessment process
Intake
We'll start with a 1 to 1.5-hour interview (online or in person). You’ll meet with your lead clinician to talk about your concerns, what you hope to get out of the evaluation, and the goals you want to set. (If it's for your child, this session is just for the parents.)
Testing
Next, you or your child will spend about 3-4 hours in our office with a testing technician. We'll complete various tests to get a clear picture of your thinking, processing, and learning styles. Most of the time, this is done in a single visit.
Feedback
In another 1 to 1.5-hour meeting (online or in person), your lead clinician will walk you through the results. We’ll discuss any diagnoses and give you a personalized action plan with concrete recommendations.
Report
About two weeks after your feedback session, we’ll send you a detailed report with all your results, diagnoses, and recommendations. You can use this to share with doctors, schools, or anyone else who is a part of your care team.
The entire evaluation process takes about six weeks, with the final report arriving two weeks after your feedback session. Our goal is to give you more than just a diagnosis—we want to provide you with a clear roadmap and helpful information you can use for clarity and support moving forward.
Commonly asked questions
-
Our ADHD assessments are comprehensive, typically requiring 20 to 30 hours of clinician work, which makes the hourly cost similar to therapy. These evaluations can pinpoint issues and identify areas of growth with incredible accuracy, saving you time and money otherwise spent with providers trying to figure out the problem. Investing in high-quality assessments can improve your mental health and productivity at school or work. Most of our patients find that the cost of an assessment is justified by the benefits they receive.
-
We are an out-of-network provider, which means we don't directly bill insurance. But don't worry—many health plans offer some reimbursement for out-of-network care. To simplify the process, we've teamed up with Reimbursify, an app that makes filing your claims quick and easy, helping you get your payments back faster. Please feel free to reach out to us for more information.
-
An accurate diagnosis of ADHD is essential because its symptoms often mimic those of other conditions, such as anxiety. A thorough evaluation not only confirms ADHD but also rules out similar disorders. This distinction is crucial because, despite overlapping symptoms, the treatments for different conditions can vary significantly. For instance, stimulant medications can alleviate inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity in ADHD patients, but may potentially worsen these symptoms in individuals with other conditions.
A Simpler Insurance Process
While we are an out-of-network provider, we are committed to making reimbursement as simple as possible. Most practices simply provide a “superbill,” leaving you to handle the complexities of claim submission.
We do it for you.
As a complimentary service, we submit all claims directly to your insurance on your behalf, saving you time and paperwork. We're also happy to help verify your benefits beforehand.
Please note: Our services do not include evaluations for legal or child custody proceedings.
