At Sound Mind Counseling, LLC, we specialize in ADHD assessments for adults, offering a neurodiversity-affirming approach to help you gain clarity and validation. Whether you’ve long suspected ADHD or want to better understand your experiences, our assessments are tailored to meet your unique needs.

ADHD in adults is frequently underdiagnosed or misdiagnosed. Women, individuals from marginalized communities, and people with co-occurring conditions such as anxiety, depression, or trauma are particularly at risk. Adult ADHD symptoms—such as difficulty managing time, forgetfulness, and emotional overwhelm—are often mistaken for mood disorders or dismissed as everyday stress. This can lead to years of frustration and untreated challenges, preventing individuals from getting the care and support they need.

Why choose us?

  • We recognize that ADHD presents differently in adulthood, and our assessments reflect this.

  • We take the time to differentiate ADHD from other conditions, ensuring an accurate evaluation.

  • Complete your assessment from the comfort of your home through our secure telehealth platform.

  • Our assessments are self-pay, providing flexibility and removing insurance-imposed barriers to care.

FAQ

  • What is ADHD?

    Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental condition that affects focus, organization, emotional regulation, and impulse control. While often associated with children, ADHD persists into adulthood, significantly impacting work, relationships, and daily life. Many adults struggle for years without a diagnosis, attributing their challenges to personality traits or external stressors.

  • What’s Included in the Assessment?

    A detailed diagnostic interview exploring your history, symptoms, and challenges.

    Evidence-based screening tools.

    A comprehensive report with diagnostic findings and personalized recommendations.

    If accommodations related to ADHD are discussed during the evaluation, related paperwork will be provided as part of this assessment.

  • Is this a psychological evaluation?

    No. As an LPCA, I provide assessments consisting of a diagnostic interview, collateral information, and screeners to provide a DSM diagnosis.

    Psychological evaluations are required in some cases (by some employers, sometimes to qualify for disability, by some insurance companies for ADHD meds, and at the discretion of your prescriber for medication management.) If this is the case for you, I will refer you out to someone who can complete a full psychological evaluation.
