The Assessment Process

At our practice each assessment is tailored to your individual needs. We begin with an intake appointment to collaboratively design the process of the evaluation. This is followed by an assessment that features a curated psychological battery. We then end with a feedback session providing detailed recommendations. Typically, the intake and feedback sessions are done virtually, while the assessment is virtual or in-person depending on what is needed. A description of each appointment is below:

    • Prior to the appointment, you will complete an intake form covering your current and past experiences

    • We will collaborate to identify the best approach to address your concerns

    • The intake appointment lasts approximately 60 minutes

    • Appointments are typically conducted virtually for your convenience

    • We will schedule assessment and feedback sessions during the intake appointment

    • Conducted after the intake appointment, generally on a different day.

    • After determining the right fit for you, we lead you through activities that measure different cognitive processes. Activities include:

      • Answering questions

      • Writing

      • Drawing

      • Completing puzzles

    • The appointment length varies and will be reviewed with you in the intake appointment

    • Typically medications should be taken as usual on the testing day unless your clinician says otherwise

    • ADHD medication should NOT be taken on testing day

    • Bringing your own snacks and water can be helpful during breaks

  • Lastly during the feedback session, a psychologist will walk you through the results of the process and provide curated recommendations.

Below are the types of assessments we offer.

Comprehensive Adult ADHD Assessment

Wondering how your brain processes the world and what that means for work, learning, and daily life?

Our comprehensive psychological evaluation builds a rich, multidimensional picture of your cognitive profile including how attention, energy, and daily life fit together as a whole, rather than in fragments.

This is not a deficit checklist. It is a structured process conducted alongside a psychologist who holds your history, strengths, and lived experience as central, not incidental, to what the results mean.

Areas the evaluation explores include:

  • Attention and executive function - How you plan, shift focus, manage time, and get started, including where you shine and where things get hard

  • Learning and memory - How you take in new information, hold onto it in the moment, and retrieve it later

  • Language and communication - How you process and express language, and how this shows up in academic and everyday contexts

  • Emotional wellbeing - How anxiety, mood, and stress interact with attention and cognition, explored as part of the whole picture

Evaluations are appropriate for adults and college students who are exploring a late identification of ADHD, a learning difference, or simply a clearer understanding of their own neurotype. If you have been assessed before and the results did not fully fit or life has changed significantly since, reevaluations are also available.

Results are always reviewed with you by a psychologist in the context of your full history, strengths, and lived experience. We recognize ADHD as a different, not deficient, cognitive style. This process can also open doors to accommodations for school, work, and standardized testing, so your environment works with your brain, not against it.

Brief Adult ADHD Screener

Wondering whether ADHD might be part of how your brain works? You're not alone. This screener is a respectful, structured starting point for finding out.

Our brief ADHD screening uses a continuous performance test, which measures sustained attention and impulse control in real time, alongside validated ADHD rating scales, to build a multidimensional picture of how your attention works. This is a screener, not a full diagnostic evaluation, and results are always reviewed with a psychologist who brings your full history, context, and strengths into the conversation. It can also help you decide whether a more comprehensive evaluation makes sense for you.

Your own experience of your attention, the patterns you've noticed, the strategies you've built, what feels hard, is treated as meaningful data here, not background noise. ADHD reflects a different cognitive style, not a deficit, and our aim is to give you useful, honest information that supports your self-understanding, whatever the outcome.

Learning Disability Assessment

If reading has always felt effortful, writing never comes out the way it sounds in your head, or numbers refuse to stick, you're not lazy, you're not careless, and you're not alone. Learning differences are neurological, not motivational.

Our learning disability evaluation uses a comprehensive battery of cognitive and academic measures to build a clear picture of how your brain processes written language, math, and information and where targeted support can make the biggest difference.

Areas the evaluation explores include:

Reading - How your brain decodes, processes, and makes meaning from text including fluency, comprehension, and the phonological foundations beneath them

Writing - How ideas translate into written form, spelling, composition, and the gap between thinking and output

Math - Number sense, calculation, and reasoning, including why some concepts click and others do not

Cognitive processing - The underlying processing speeds and memory systems that shape how you learn including the strengths in your profile alongside the places that require more support

Whether you're a college student navigating accommodations or an adult finally ready to understand a lifetime of "almost", this evaluation is for you. Reevaluations are available for those whose prior assessments no longer reflect where they are.

Results are reviewed with you, not handed to you. Your psychologist brings your full story into the room so you are connected to supports that work for you, not just a report. We understand learning differences as cognitive variation, not deficit.
