Is It ADHD? Start with a Professional Screening Assessment

FIND CLARITY AND CONFIDENCE IN UNDERSTANDING YOUR SYMPTOMS

At Insight Counseling and Wellness, we offer ADHD-focused screening assessments for children, teens, and adults who may be struggling with attention, focus, organization, impulsivity, emotional regulation, motivation, or executive functioning concerns.

Our screening process is designed to help determine if clients meet criteria for ADHD and to better understand how symptoms may be showing up in daily life, relationships, school, work, and emotional wellbeing.

THE ADHD SCREENING PROCESS INCLUDES:

  • A clinical interview and ADHD-focused assessment appointment (up to 90 minutes)
  • Completion of screening tools and symptom questionnaires
  • Review of emotional, behavioral, academic, occupational, and executive functioning concerns
  • Exploration of overlapping concerns such as anxiety, depression, stress, or trauma
  • Clinical observations and discussion of symptom patterns

After the ADHD Assessment Clients will leave with:

  • A clearer understanding of how ADHD symptoms may present specifically for you
  • Diagnostic impressions and clinical recommendations
  • Recommendations for therapy, coping strategies, school/work accommodations, or referral options when appropriate
  • Guidance on next steps for treatment and support
Our goal is to provide a supportive, practical, and individualized understanding of ADHD — helping clients move from confusion and overwhelm toward clarity and direction.

ADHD Assessments: Common Questions

IS THIS THE SAME AS PSYCHOLOGICAL TESTING OR NEUROPSYCHOLOGICAL TESTING?
No. Our ADHD screening assessments are not full psychological or neuropsychological evaluations completed by a psychologist. Instead, this process is a comprehensive clinical screening completed by a licensed mental health professional to better understand ADHD symptoms, provide diagnostic impressions when appropriate, and offer recommendations and next steps.

Depending on age and presenting concerns, screening tools may include:

  • Adult ADHD Self-Report Scale (ASRS)
  • Wender Utah Rating Scale (WURS)
  • Weiss Functional Impairment Rating Scale (WFIRS)
  • WFIRS-S
  • SNAP-IV
  • Vanderbilt Assessment Scales
  • SCARED
  • PHQ-9
  • GAD-7

These tools help provide additional insight into attention, executive functioning, anxiety, mood, and emotional regulation concerns.

Sometimes. Many schools, colleges, universities, and employers may accept documentation from an ADHD assessment when considering accommodations. However, requirements can vary by institution and situation.

Before scheduling an assessment, we encourage you to check with your school, workplace, testing agency, or accommodation office to understand their specific documentation requirements. Some organizations may require additional information or a comprehensive neuropsychological evaluation to determine eligibility for accommodations.

ADHD assessments often involve extended clinical time outside of the therapy session itself, including scoring, interpretation, record review, and clinical documentation. In many cases, insurance reimbursement does not adequately cover the full assessment process. Offering this as a self-pay service allows us to provide a more comprehensive and individualized evaluation experience.
Yes. Anxiety, depression, trauma, stress, sleep concerns, and other mental health conditions can sometimes mimic or overlap with ADHD symptoms. Part of the assessment process includes exploring these concerns to better understand the full clinical picture.
You may benefit from an ADHD screening if you struggle with focus, organization, motivation, impulsivity, emotional regulation, procrastination, chronic overwhelm, or executive functioning difficulties that interfere with daily life, work, school, or relationships.
Yes. During the assessment process, we explore symptoms related to attention, executive functioning, anxiety, depression, stress, and emotional regulation. Some clients may meet criteria for ADHD, while others may receive a different diagnosis or clinical recommendation depending on their symptoms and history.
ADHD in adults can present differently than many people expect. Symptoms may include chronic overwhelm, procrastination, forgetfulness, difficulty starting or finishing tasks, emotional dysregulation, burnout, distractibility, restlessness, time management difficulties, or feeling mentally “on” all the time.
