ADHD ASSESSMENT
ADHD Assessment & Testing in California — In-Person or VIRTUAL
Struggling to pay attention at school, work, or home? Does it take you longer than others to learn new things, or do you forget details others seem to remember without effort? Do you feel paralyzed trying to organize and prioritize everything on your plate, with no idea where to start?
If this sounds familiar, an ADHD assessment can give you answers — a clear picture of how your brain works and a plan for how to improve your day-to-day functioning with tailored treatment recommendations.
I offer comprehensive, evidence-based ADHD testing for adults — in-person in Sausalito, or as a virtual ADHD evaluation for individuals living anywhere in California. Whether you're looking for a virtual ADHD assessment or prefer to meet face-to-face, the same thorough, personalized process applies.

HOW DO I KNOW IF ADHD TESTING IS FOR ME?
You might benefit from an ADHD assessment if you:
Struggle to focus or stay on task at school, work, or home
Have a hard time sitting still to do what needs to get done
Find it hard to wait your turn, or make impulsive decisions you later regret
Take longer than others to learn new information, or forget things others remember easily
Feel overwhelmed or "stuck" when trying to organize, plan, or prioritize
Have always suspected ADHD but never had it formally evaluated
Need documentation for accommodations, medication, or treatment
I provide ADHD assessments in-person in Sausalito (serving Marin County, Sonoma County, and San Francisco County) and for clients throughout California via secure telehealth, so location is never a barrier to getting evaluated.
WHAT IS INCLUDED IN AN ADHD ASSESSMENT?
Every assessment is thorough, individualized, and grounded in clinical best practices. Here's how it works:
1. Free 15-Minute Consultation A brief call to talk through your concerns and confirm ADHD testing is the right fit for you.
2. Pre-Session Questionnaires (~1 hour): Before we meet, you'll complete a set of standardized questionnaires that give me a fuller picture of your history and symptoms.
3. Clinical Interview (3 hours): We'll go in-depth to review your social, academic, occupational, family, psychiatric, and medical history — from childhood through today — and how potential challenges in these domains have impacted your daily life. This can be completed in person in Sausalito or via virtual ADHD evaluation from anywhere in California.
4. Scoring & Interpretation (3 hours): I review, score, and interpret all questionnaires, and interview data to reach a clear diagnostic conclusion.
5. Feedback Session (1 hour): We meet again to review your results together and build a personalized treatment plan. We can review your results in-person or virtually.
6. Written Summary: After our feedback sessions, you'll receive a detailed, easy-to-read 6-10 page patient-facing summary of your results, including relevant diagnoses and personalized treatment recommendations. If needed, I am more than happy to communicate these results to your treatment provider.

Do I Need Additional Testing Beyond an ADHD Evaluation?
In most cases, additional testing isn't required to reach an ADHD diagnosis. However, I may recommend — or you may request — supplementary testing for:
Intelligence (IQ) testing
Neuropsychological testing - including assessment of executive and cognitive functioning
Academic achievement testing — required for accommodations on high-stakes exams like the California Bar Exam, LSAT, or GRE
These additional assessments provide deeper insight into how ADHD is affecting your cognitive functioning and can support formal accommodation requests. Learn more about high-stakes exam accommodations.
Beyond ASSESSMENT: ADHD Therapy & Executive FUNCTIONING Coaching
An ADHD diagnosis is a starting point. I also offer therapy and coaching for individuals diagnosed with ADHD, including evidence-based skills training to enhance executive functioning — helping you build systems that actually work for your brain.
ADHD Testing FAQs
Is online ADHD testing as accurate as in-person testing?
Yes, virtual ADHD evaluations follow the same rigorous, evidence-based process as in-person assessments — clinical interviewing, standardized questionnaires, collateral input as needed, and formal scoring — conducted securely over telehealth.
Do you offer ADHD assessments outside of Marin County?
Yes. While I see individuals in-person in my Sausalito office, I offer online ADHD testing to clients anywhere in California via telehealth.
How long does the ADHD assessment process take?
The core evaluation involves roughly 3 hours of clinical interviewing, 1 hour of questionnaires beforehand, and a 1-hour feedback session — plus additional time reviewing and scoring your results.
Can this assessment support accommodation requests for exams like the Bar or LSAT?
The short answer is yes. However, exam accommodations typically require additional and extensive neuropsychological or academic achievement testing beyond the standard ADHD evaluation. I also assessments to support accommodations for high stakes exams. More information can be found here.
