What happens during an ADHD evaluation?
Intake Interview: The initial intake consists of an in-depth clinical interview to learn about your experiences. You will have the chance to share early developmental and other formative life experiences, present day challenges, and your hopes and goals for the evaluation.
Testing: Using the gold-standard of ADHD assessment tools, we will gather data to not only understand symptoms and the areas of greatest impact, but also areas of strength. Beyond simple ADHD checklists, we will assess cognitive abilities, memory, and social-emotional functioning. Data is used to guide treatment planning and ensure you leave with your questions answered.
Feedback & Report: Following the evaluation, you will receive a personalized report with results written in understandable language and a list of recommended support services and strategies. This report is yours to keep, allowing you to refer back to it at any time or share it with other healthcare providers.
Synthesizing and writing the results for your tailored report may take up to 2 weeks. A feedback session will then be scheduled to discuss and process the results and answer any remaining questions. Clients often report feeling deeply relieved and understood during this part of the evaluation.
Do you assess children and teens?
While I primarily work with adults, I have experience working with children and families. Children and teens may be accepted on a case-by-case basis. Schedule a consultation so we can discuss whether it would be a good fit!
Do you offer follow-up care?
Yes, I often continue working with clients in therapy following the assessment.
