Our Services
ADHD Assessment for Adults
We provide detailed, evidence-based, therapeutic assessments tailored for adults, including:
Clinical interview and developmental history
Self-report and observer-rated measures (e.g., DIVA-5, CAARS, BAARS)
Objective testing (e.g., IVA-2, CPT, WAIS subtests, D-KEFS)
Differential diagnosis to distinguish ADHD from anxiety, trauma, or mood-related concerns
Thorough reports suitable for treatment planning, workplace or school accommodations, and medication support
Patients receive not only a diagnostic evaluation but also a feedback session and tailored recommendations for next steps.
Assessments are conducted in person or using a hybrid in-person and telehealth approach in the greater San Jose Area.
Currently booking in January 2026.
