ADHD Assessment & Diagnosis
Why Are You Seeking an ADHD Diagnosis?
You DON’T need an official, thorough diagnosis in order to get counseling to treat your ADHD.
You only need an official ADHD diagnosis if:
you plan to show it to a doctor to try medication for ADHD
you plan on using it to get accommodations/assistance at a college or university
Many doctors and universities/colleges will accept an ADHD diagnosis from a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (such as myself). Some will not accept an ADHD diagnosis if it's not provided by a psychologist specifically.
You’ll want to check with your doctor or educational institution to find out if they require a specific type of diagnosis.
The ADHD diagnosis I provide includes the following measures:
Diagnostic Interview for ADHD in adults (DIVA)
Behavior Rating Inventory of Executive Function - Adult Version (BRIEF-A)
Brown Executive Function / Attention Scales (Brown EF/A)
Symptoms Checklist (SCL-90-R)
Diagnostic Assessment

Pricing
Each 55-minute session costs $140.
Your credit/debit card will be charged $140 at the time of each session.
There is no need to pay for everything ahead of time or all at once.
In order to take the BRIEF-A, Brown EF/A, & SCL-90-R, we’ll have to meet for at least one introductory session.
There is an additional cost of $75 to take the assessments. This covers the combined cost of all 3 assessments.
The DIVA Assessment & the Diagnostic Assessment take place during regular sessions.
The DIVA Assessment typically takes 3-4 sessions to complete.
The Diagnostic Assessment typically takes 1-2 sessions to complete.
Once all assessments are complete, I will compile all of the data and create a Diagnostic Report for you. This will take place outside of session, and is prorated based upon how long it takes to create the report (typically 1-2 hours at most).
