Understanding ADHD in adulthood.
Adult ADHD rarely looks like the stereotype. We look at attention, executive function, and the co-occurring traits that often come with it, so you understand why some things feel so much harder than they should.
Executive function
Planning, organizing, starting and finishing tasks, time management, and working memory.
Emotional regulation
Frustration, restlessness, or overwhelm that can affect work, relationships, and self-esteem.
Co-occurring traits
Anxiety, depression, Autism, or learning differences that can overlap with or mask ADHD.
Our assessment process.
Each assessment is tailored to you and conducted by a Licensed Psychologist or doctoral-level clinician.

Clinical interview
A detailed conversation about your current challenges, your history since childhood, and your goals.

BRIEF-2A
The Behavior Rating Inventory of Executive Function, adult version (BRIEF-2A) captures how executive function shows up in everyday life, with self-report and optional input from someone who knows you well.
Additional measures, when helpful

- CAARSConners' Adult ADHD Rating Scales, self and observer versions

A neurodiversity-affirming approach.
ADHD brains come with real strengths: creativity, energy, and the ability to hyperfocus. We aim to understand the whole picture, not just the struggles.
Our recommendations are built around how you actually work, so they are realistic to put into practice.
Not sure yet? Try a free screener.
These well-established questionnaires can help you decide whether a full assessment makes sense. They take 5–15 minutes and open on an outside website.
A screener is not a diagnosis. Results are only a starting point. Bring them to your free consultation and we'll talk through what they might mean.

Common questions.
Yes. Many adults are identified later, often after years of compensating. Because ADHD begins in childhood, the assessment also looks at your history.
When it is relevant, yes. ADHD often overlaps with anxiety and depression, and understanding how they interact leads to better recommendations.
Autism and ADHD commonly occur together. We can combine measures so you get one clear picture.
