ADHD Testing and Management
I value taking a comprehensive approach to ADHD—because a pill is not a skill! While medication can help, real success comes from understanding your ADHD and learning the right tools to manage it.
What’s ADHD—and What’s Not?
ADHD has become a trendy diagnosis, but not all focus issues or restlessness are ADHD. Many mental health symptoms—like anxiety or mood swings—can overlap with ADHD, making proper diagnosis essential. We assess severity and type (hyperactive, inattentive, or mixed) to ensure an accurate diagnosis.
How to test for ADHD
ADHD testing is a separate appointment from the initial intake and can be done for both children and adults. Using Pearson assessment tools, we provide an objective evaluation of your symptoms. You’ll receive a detailed report for your records, which also helps guide medication choices, including stimulant and non-stimulant options..
ADHD Management – Beyond Medication
Since a pill is not a skill, we also focus on:
✔️ Education – Understanding ADHD’s impact on daily life
✔️ Coping Strategies – Practical tools for focus, organization, and impulse control
✔️ Success Planning – Personalized strategies for work, school, and relationships
ADHD isn’t just a diagnosis—it’s a different way of thinking. With the right support, you can make it work for you.
