ADHD & Mental Health Evaluations for children ages 4-13 years old.

As a parent, it’s hard to watch your child struggle and not know why or how to help. If you’re wondering whether ADHD might be part of the picture, an evaluation can be a valuable step. Having an evaluation completed is more than just checking boxes; it’s about understanding how your child’s brain works, where they’re getting stuck, and what kinds of support can actually make a difference.

We offer thorough comprehensive evaluations designed to understand your child’s unique brain and behaviors. Whether you’re just starting to ask questions or have been seeking answers for a while, we are here to help you get the insight, diagnosis, and support your family needs. Our goal is to make the process feel clear, supportive, and meaningful—so you walk away with answers, a clear path forward, and a better understanding of your child.

  • An ADHD evaluation focuses on ADHD and related mental health concerns such as anxiety or depression. Neuropsychological evaluations are broader, conducted by psychologists, and include IQ testing, cognitive batteries, and academic assessments. Our evaluations are timely, practical, and family-centered, providing actionable recommendations without the cost or length of a full neuropsychological battery.

  • No, we do not diagnose autism spectrum disorder. However, our team is experienced in working with children who have ASD and understands the ways ADHD and ASD symptoms can overlap. During an evaluation, if we observe behaviors that may suggest ASD or another developmental concern, we can provide recommendations for further evaluation by a qualified provider to ensure your child gets the appropriate assessment and support.

  • Yes. ADHD symptoms often overlap with anxiety, depression, trauma, or sensory challenges. We take a holistic approach to understand your child’s strengths and difficulties.

    • A clear explanation of findings

    • Recommendations for home, school, and support strategies

    • Expert recommendations on what other professionals may be best suited to support your child

    The goal is always to understand your child’s unique needs and provide actionable guidance.

  • Complete and submit the questionnaires back to us three days before the appointment, and bring any previous evaluations, if available. Reassure your child that the evaluation is about understanding their strengths and challenges, it is not a test!
