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)

  • Diagnostic Assessment

Pricing

  • Each 55-minute session costs $135.

    • Your credit/debit card will be charged $135 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, we’ll have to meet for at least one introductory session.

    • There is no additional cost to take the BRIEF-A & Brown EF/A assessments.

  • The DIVA Assessment & the Diagnostic Assessment take place during regular sessions.

    • The DIVA Assessment typically takes 2-3 sessions to complete.

    • The Diagnostic Assessment typically takes 2-3 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).
