Adult Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)

ADHD is a complex neurodevelopmental disorder that begins in childhood and can last into adulthood. Many adults with ADHD have always struggled with living up to their potential and feel frustrated with themselves and the world around them. Some signs of adult ADHD include:

  • Difficulty sustaining concentration

  • Trouble with organization

  • Challenges with finishing tasks/work on time

  • Time blindness

  • Low frustration tolerance

  • Low motivation

  • Problems with task switching

Academic/Learning Disability*

Challenges with reading, writing, or math often begin early in life, but may not become a problem until adulthood due to changes in circumstances or a supportive adult that helped you through it. Learning disabilities persist throughout a person’s life and can have a significant negative impact on job performance and life satisfaction. Reasons to seek academic or learning disability testing include:

  • Difficulty understanding/processing what you just read

  • Frequently misreading words

  • Needing things to be repeated or reworded for you to understand

  • Challenges understanding numbers or trouble with calculations

  • Difficulty with writing or fine motor skills

*Academic testing is not covered by insurance.

Comprehensive Psychological Assessment

A comprehensive assessment can provide information to help determine an accurate diagnosis when symptoms align with more than one condition. This information can be used in treatment planning, medication selection, and improving daily life. Some concerns that comprehensive diagnostic assessment can address include:

  • Depression and Bipolar Mood Disorders

  • Anxiety Disorders such as Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD) and Social Anxiety

  • Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD)

  • Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)

  • Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD)
