Your mind deserves to be understood, not judged.
You're not alone, and there's nothing wrong with how your brain works. An ADHD assessment can be the first step toward living with more self-trust, ease, and joy.
What is ADHD? Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a lifelong brain difference that shows up in three main ways:
Inattention: Difficulty staying focused, being easily distracted, trouble with organization
Hyperactivity: Feeling restless, like you’re “always on,” excessive talking
Impulsivity: Acting without thinking, interrupting others, difficulty waiting one’s turn
It affects how you focus, manage time, regulate emotions, and navigate daily life. Most people experience some of these symptoms at times. Maybe you were told to just “try harder.” Maybe you learned to overachieve, people-please, or stay silent just to avoid being labeled “difficult” or “lazy.” You may be exhausted from constantly pushing through brain fog, emotional overwhelm, or missed deadlines, despite being told you're "fine." People living with ADHD experience these symptoms consistently and see them interfere with work, school, and other activities, making it hard to get things done and causing problems in relationships.
LGBTQIA+ community members report significantly higher rates of ADHD symptoms than cisgender, heterosexual communities. Black and Latinx people are often misdiagnosed or receive delayed adult-ADHD diagnosis, even after displaying symptoms in childhood, and they frequently report having symptoms attributed to gender or racial identity instead of ADHD. Minority stress compounds ADHD challenges, taking an even greater psychological and emotional toll. For many BIPOC and LGBTQIA+ adults, it’s just frequently overlooked or misdiagnosed because we have learned to mask our struggles to survive systems that weren’t built for us.
ADHD doesn’t always look the way you’ve heard it described, especially for BIPOC and LGBTQIA+ adults.
Done in partnership with Dr. Antoine Crosby of Affirmative Spaces, this ADHD assessment isn’t about being labeled. It can be the first step toward understanding yourself and living with more self-trust, ease, and joy.
Assessment results can offer you benefits such as clarity, providing language for those challenges you’ve always faced but couldn’t name, and validation, through confirming prior “suspicions” about how your brain works. This new-found clarity also opens doors for access to accommodations — extended work deadlines, flexible scheduling, quiet workspaces, written instructions, extra time on exams, and more. You can also get access to treatments and support, so that you can build on your strengths and create strategies that work for you.
Rest assured — our assessment goes beyond a simple checklist. We aim to provide comprehensive, affirming care.
We understand the unique experiences of BIPOC and LGBTQIA+ communities. Trauma-aware, we bring a deep understanding of the ways in which masking and stress tend to impact both daily life and ADHD screening. This assessment process will be a collaborative effort where we all work together to uncover what’s really happening, to move us toward the goal of insight and self-compassion, not judgment or limitation.
Why get evaluated? And why choose us?
Let’s get you the support you deserve.
What to expect
This comprehensive evaluation process is centered around you.
First, you will complete intake forms and schedule your personalized assessment plan.
You’ll undergo a 2-hour evaluation, plus a 90 minutes of standardized assessments. (Don’t worry — these are done separately.)
Afterwards, there will be 1-hour feedback session and review of a comprehensive written report.
The general timeline for the process is typically less than 4 weeks from start to finish.
