Who our ADHD testing services are for
There are many reasons both children and adults decide to get tested for ADHD.

Regardless of your symptoms or reason for seeking an ADHD assessment, getting one can be incredibly beneficial!

The attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) testing services we offer focus on providing clarity and support for children and their families.

Adult ADHD can mean differences in symptoms and the role that a diagnosis might play in your life as compared to an ADHD diagnosis in a child, which is why there are slight differences in the process of adults receiving a diagnosis and feedback.
The test you you take to learn about adult ADHD is different, the gathering of information is different, and for adults, support is often offered in the form of helpful interventions and treatments that might be able to assist in workplaces or home life (as opposed to school based treatment).
We offer ADHD assessments for adults and parents to help offer insight and guidance in what role ADHD might play in your life and how to manage and treat ADHD.
Why choose Birch Psychology
Thinking about your symptoms and choosing to go forward with an ADHD assessment can be difficult, which is why we are here to support you.
Specialization in Mental Health CoMorbidities
Our Psychology practice offers therapy for anxiety, depression, and other mental health conditions. By understanding the overlap of ADHD symptoms with anxiety and depression, our recommendations for therapy, medication, and overall treatment are guided holistically.
Therapy can often be provided by the clinician who conducts your ADHD test, and they can collaborate with our colocated psychiatrist for medication management as indicated.
Specialization in Adult ADHD
Many places focus on child ADHD and treatment, but lack the expertise needed for analyzing symptoms of adult ADHD. Adult ADHD has different symptoms, requires a different test plan, and will have differing treatment and medication recommendations.
Personalized Feedback
At Birch Psychology, our clinicians endeavor to make seeking and going through with an assessment for ADHD as helpful for you as possible.
After an ADHD assessment at Birch Psychology, the clinician working with you will create a written report around the time that a feedback session will take place so that you can all gain a better understanding of yourself or your child, and a plan through which you and your clinician will communicate any concerns or needs that you need met with a school or a workplace.
During that feedback session, your clinicians will work with you to help you better understand your thoughts and actions. They will provide clarity and offer recommendations for treatment such as medication management, therapy, or interventions that might help you minimize the negative impact ADHD might be having on your health, mental health, and on other cognitive functions in your life. They may refer you to a doctor for a medication evaluation, and that doctor could be a psychiatrist, psychiatric nurse practitioner, or a primary care provider.
FAQs about ADHD testing
-
By comparing cognitive potential to actual academic output (among other methods of analysis), information is gained regarding any potential barriers to, or differences in, learning ability. This procedure is used for understanding learning difficulties associated with ADHD/ADD, including executive functioning, impulsive actions, trouble concentrating, and/ or memory difficulties.
Additionally, we consider your general preferences (such as your strengths and weaknesses) to assist in identifying and providing an academic setting that best fits your individual needs. If indicated, we provide a diagnosis, along with accommodations for supporting academic success.

If you are needing a brief evaluation of ADHD for diagnostic clarity only, the cost is around $2400 for adults.
If you are needing a comprehensive psychoeducational evaluation that includes screening for depression, anxiety, mental health conditions, learning disorders, and developmental conditions, the cost is closer to $3400.
Often, the test will cost somewhere in the middle. Your prior treatment, testing, symptoms, and more play a role in how in depth the test must be to diagnose attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).
