Psychological Testing for Adult ADHD

Understanding ADHD in Adults

Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is often considered a childhood disorder, but it also affects adults, impacting focus, organization, time management, relationships, and overall daily functioning. Many adults with ADHD have gone undiagnosed for years, attributing their challenges to stress, personality traits, or other factors. Psychological testing provides a clear, comprehensive assessment to determine whether ADHD is present and how it may be affecting your life.

Why Get Tested for ADHD?

Do you often struggle to stay focused, feel motivated, or have difficulty completing tasks? Do others complain that you don’t listen, frequently forget things, or misplace items? Do you and your spouse or partner frequently argue about chores and tidiness? Are these problems serious enough to interfere with work, relationships, and personal goals? A comprehensive ADHD evaluation can provide clarity and support.

  • Confirm or rule out ADHD as a diagnosis

  • Differentiate ADHD from other conditions with similar symptoms (such as anxiety or depression)

  • Identify strengths and areas for support

  • Guide treatment options, including therapy, coaching, or medication

Our Collaborative Approach to ADHD Assessment

Here at Two Minds, we use a Collaborative Therapeutic Assessment approach, which means the process is not just about diagnosis but also about self-discovery and empowerment. This method allows you to actively participate in the assessment process, helping you understand your unique cognitive and emotional profile. Through open dialogue and feedback, we work together to explore how ADHD-related challenges impact different areas of your life and identify strategies for growth.

Step-by-Step Process of Our ADHD Evaluation

  • Step 1 - Initial Consultation & Goal Setting - we discuss concerns, expectations, and what you hope to learn from the assessment

  • Step 2 - Clinical Interview – An in-depth conversation about your development, history, symptoms, and daily challenges

  • Step 3 - Self and Informant Questionnaires – ADHD rating scales are used to gather insights from you and individuals who know you well to provide a full picture of your experiences

  • Step 4 - Standardized Testing – Evidence-based neuropsychological assessments to measure attention, executive functioning, and related cognitive abilities

  • Step 5 - Collaborative Feedback Sessions – Interactive discussions to help you gain insight into your results and their meaning for your daily life

  • Step 6 - Final Written Report & Follow-up – A detailed report is provided, with key insights and actionable recommendations. A follow-up session may be scheduled to reinforce suggestions and discuss treatment options
