A thorough, multi-session evaluation by a psychologist who has done this hundreds of times. Validated instruments, clinical data from multiple sources, and a detailed report that tells you exactly what is going on, not a best guess based on a 15-minute conversation.

You've got 47 browser tabs open and you can't close any of them because you might need them later.
You started three projects this week and finished zero.
People say you're "so smart" but you can't figure out why everything feels so hard.
You zone out in meetings and then panic because you missed something important.
You hyperfocus on things that don't matter and can't focus on things that do.
You've built an elaborate system of alarms, lists, and reminders just to function like everyone else seems to naturally.
You don't procrastinate because you're lazy. You procrastinate because starting feels physically impossible.
You've wondered if you have ADHD for years but kept talking yourself out of getting tested.

What happens after you get your results.

The assessment gives you the answer. What you do with it is up to you. Here are the most common paths.

Start Therapy at Breakwater

Continue with Luke as your therapist. No repeating your history, no handoff to a stranger. Your therapist already knows exactly what the evaluation found, what your strengths are, and where the challenges are. This continuity of care is rare and it makes therapy significantly more effective from day one.

Share Your Report With Your Prescriber

We do not prescribe medication, but we work closely with prescribers. Your report gives them everything they need to make informed medication decisions: diagnosis, severity, specific symptom profile, and treatment recommendations. Many prescribers appreciate having this level of clinical data to work from.

Request Accommodations

Your report includes formal documentation for ADA workplace or academic accommodations, including specific recommendations tailored to your situation. It is written to meet the standard required by employers, universities, and professional testing agencies (LSAC, AAMC, NBME, and similar bodies).

Just Have the Answer

Some people just needed to know. You do not owe anyone a treatment plan. If all you wanted was clarity about what is going on, the assessment delivers that. Knowing is enough. You can always come back for therapy later if you decide to.

Common questions about ADHD assessment.

Yes. Our full assessment is available via telehealth for anyone in Oregon. Same clinical interview, same standardized measures, same thorough report. Research supports telehealth-based ADHD assessment as equally valid and reliable. Telehealth does not mean less thorough. It means more accessible.

Then you will know, and that is still genuinely valuable. We screen for anxiety, depression, PTSD, and other conditions that can mimic or co-occur with ADHD symptoms. You leave with a clear picture of what is actually going on, regardless of whether the answer is ADHD. Many people find real relief in finally having clarity after years of wondering.

No. Questionnaires are one component of a multi-method evaluation. The clinical interview, observer data, and developmental history make this a real assessment, not a longer version of a screening. A questionnaire by itself cannot diagnose ADHD. A comprehensive evaluation can.

No. Psychologists diagnose and treat through therapy and assessment. We do not prescribe medication. But if medication is warranted, your report gives your prescriber everything they need to make informed decisions: diagnosis, severity, symptom profile, and specific recommendations. We can also help you find a prescriber if you do not have one.

Those are screeners. They tell you whether further evaluation might be warranted, not whether you actually have ADHD. Our assessment uses multiple validated instruments, a structured clinical interview, and observer data from someone who knows you well. A screener is a thermometer. This is the full diagnostic workup.

ADHD can look very different in adults than it did in childhood. We evaluate your current functioning using adult-specific instruments and age-normed thresholds. Your needs at 35 or 55 are not the same as they were at age 10. A current evaluation gives you an updated picture and recommendations that match your life right now.

Absolutely. Many older adults are exploring ADHD for the first time because awareness did not exist when they were young. Age-related changes can also unmask ADHD that coping strategies previously kept hidden. We use age-normed thresholds and clinical expertise specifically designed for this situation. We also differentiate ADHD from other cognitive changes, a question that becomes especially important after 60.
