Who comes for this evaluation
- Adults who've wondered for years but never had a formal evaluation
- People referred by a primary-care physician, therapist, or psychiatrist who needs documentation before prescribing
- Adolescents (12+) when a parent, school, or clinician has raised concerns
- Anyone who needs written clinical documentation for a prescriber, school, or employer
Schools, testing agencies, and employers may have additional requirements beyond a clinical evaluation. If you know the specific documentation you need, mention it at intake.
Why this evaluation costs $995
Some services offer "ADHD assessments" for $200-$400 based on a self-report questionnaire reviewed by a clinician you never meet. Those can work for some people. This is a different product.
This evaluation includes a live clinical interview, validated ADHD rating scales, screening for conditions that can mimic ADHD (anxiety, mood, sleep, trauma, substance use), and a prescriber-oriented written summary. You talk to the clinician who writes your report. The full process takes about two weeks, with the summary in your hands within one week of the final session.
What the evaluation covers
- In-depth clinical interview covering developmental history, current symptoms, and daily functioning
- DSM-5-TR symptom mapping with childhood-onset and duration criteria
- Functional impairment review across at least two settings (home, work, school, social)
- Validated ADHD rating scales
- Screening for mood, anxiety, sleep, trauma, and substance use patterns that can mimic ADHD
- Review of relevant records and collateral information when available and authorized
- Prescriber-oriented written summary with diagnostic rationale, symptom severity, and treatment considerations
Diagnosis is based on the full clinical picture, not a single questionnaire or test score. Optional performance measures (see below) are used selectively when they would add useful information.
How it's delivered
- Telehealth — available statewide for clients located in Florida at the time of the evaluation
- Mobile in-person — within approximately 30 miles of Orlando. Initial consultation is telehealth; the evaluation session itself is conducted in-person at your location
For adolescents, a parent or guardian is involved in the evaluation process and informed-consent documentation.
What you receive

- A written clinical summary formatted for your prescribing physician or psychiatrist, with diagnostic rationale, symptom severity, and treatment considerations
- One follow-up session to review results and answer questions

Common questions
How long does the whole process take?
About two weeks from intake to written summary. The clinical interview is one 90-minute session (occasionally split across two if needed). Rating scales and any optional measures are completed online at your pace, usually 30-60 minutes total. The written clinical summary is delivered within one week of the final session. If you have a deadline (school accommodation request, employer documentation, scheduled appointment with a prescriber), let me know at intake and we'll plan around it.
Do you prescribe medication or treat ADHD after the evaluation?
No prescribing here. The evaluation produces a written clinical summary your prescribing physician or psychiatrist can act on. If you don't have a prescriber, I can suggest options to look into. If therapy is part of what would help, individual therapy is available separately. See <a href='/individuals/'>individual therapy</a> for that work.
Is this evaluation covered by insurance?
ADHD evaluations are self-pay only — $995 flat. The fee is HSA / FSA eligible, and a superbill is provided on request so you can submit it to your insurer for possible reimbursement. Insurance reimbursement for clinical ADHD evaluations varies widely by plan and is not guaranteed.
What about kids under 12?
I work with adolescents 12 and older. For children under 12, a child-focused evaluator with school-observation and parent-rating-scale infrastructure is usually a better fit than an adult-focused practice. I'm happy to point you toward resources if helpful.
Can I do the evaluation in person?
Yes, in a limited service area. Telehealth is available statewide for clients located in Florida at the time of the evaluation. Mobile in-person is available within roughly 30 miles of Orlando — the initial consultation is telehealth and the evaluation session is conducted at your location. Mobile in-person has the same fee as telehealth.
What if the evaluation doesn't confirm ADHD?
You still receive a complete written clinical summary documenting what was assessed, what was found, and what the differential diagnosis looks like. Mood, anxiety, sleep, trauma, and substance-use patterns can mimic ADHD; the evaluation screens for these. If the picture points elsewhere, the summary names that with rationale so your prescriber or therapist can act on it.
