    Receive a detailed report with specific, actionable recommendations tailored to your unique brain.

    A formal diagnosis is often necessary to receive academic accommodations (e.g., 504 Plan, IEP), workplace accommodations (under the ADA), and access to certain treatments.

  • Effective treatment planning:

    Guide targeted therapy, coaching, and medication decisions with a clear understanding of your needs.

  • Empowerment:

    Move from frustration and self-blame to self-awareness and empowerment, equipped with strategies to succeed.

  • Our expert clinicians analyze all the data and prepare a comprehensive report that explains the findings in clear, easy-to-understand language.

FAQs

  • We provide comprehensive ADHD evaluations for children, adolescents, college students, and adults.

  • The cost depends on the complexity of the case and the specific tests required. We are transparent about our fees and will discuss the estimated cost during your free consultation. We also offer a unique, complimentary service: we will file all out-of-network claims to your insurance on your behalf for potential reimbursement.

  • School evaluations are typically focused on determining eligibility for special education services (e.g., an IEP) and may not provide a specific clinical diagnosis like ADHD. Our private psychological assessment is a medical evaluation that provides a formal diagnosis, investigates co-occurring conditions, and offers broader, more personalized recommendations for home, school, and work.

  • From the initial consultation to the final feedback session, the process typically takes 6 weeks plus an additional 2 weeks for the report.
