Diagnosing Children
We provide thorough, compassionate ADHD evaluations for all ages. Our goal is to help individuals and families better understand their challenges and feel empowered to take positive steps forward. The initial consultation explores whether ADHD may be affecting areas like behavior, emotions, school, work, or relationships. We will review developmental, medical, and family history, including any trauma. Through interviews with the individual and key people in their life—such as parents, teachers, partners, or caregivers—we aim to build insight, foster self-awareness, and support meaningful changes in daily life.
