Adult ADHD Assessments

The ADHD evaluation and assessment spans a few sessions which allows time for a complete clinical overview of the prospective patient and an extensive diagnostic interview. A key part of the ADHD evaluation is a battery of standard assessments that help pinpoint and explore the different aspects of attention and functioning within the individual.

Our team of psychologists currently provide remote ADHD assessments for adults, and the current wait time for an intake session is one week

Based on the results of the testing, a diagnosis can be made and recommendations can determine a treatment plan and identify the best academic accommodations and placement.

Brentwood Therapy Collective does not accept insurance and is considered out-of-network. We provide our clients with a superbill that can be submitted for reimbursement from your health insurance provider.

Why We Stand Out

At the Brentwood Therapy Collective, we specialize in comprehensive ADHD assessments, with a distinct focus on adult ADHD.

Unlike many other clinics, ADHD testing is not just a service we offer—it is a central focus of our practice.

Our team of experienced clinicians is dedicated to understanding and uncovering the unique complexities and challenges of ADHD in adults, which can often be misunderstood or overlooked in more generalized settings.

  • “The ADHD assessment process can be daunting, but Dr. Sarai approached it with such clarity, patience, and empathy that it became a genuinely enlightening experience. I felt seen and heard. She took the time to explain each step, ensuring that I understood the rationale and methodology behind each test.”

    -Emily G.

  • “Dr. Tal Ginsburg is one of the warmest, most compassionate clinicians I have ever had the privilege to work with. She turned what was originally the daunting task of seeking an ADHD diagnosis into a process that was approachable, understandable, and genuinely enjoyable. I highly recommend her and her services to anyone who is seeking clarity on a diagnosis. She will hold your hand through the entire process and ensure that you understand everything as you go.”

    -Zoe

  • “Dr. Sarai did a comprehensive ADHD assessment for me, and I'd recommend her highly to others. She was flexible and accommodating toward my schedule and provided remote services. She then got her report back to me in a very reasonable timeframe and addressed all the issues that I needed her to address. She was easy to talk to and made all her materials quite accessible. It was a very smooth process and Dr. Sarai was very helpful!”

    -Korbin F.

  • “After struggling to find a provider I was comfortable with, I came across Dr. Chelsea’s website and I’m so happy and lucky that I did. She is extremely thorough and knowledgeable. I did a comprehensive ADHD assessment with her and she walked me through step by step and really took all the anxiety out of the process. I cannot recommend her enough. 10/10 experience.”

  • Cognitive and Psychological Assessment involves a complex process of evaluating an individual in order to gain a deeper understanding of how they uniquely function.

    Using interviews and a comprehensive battery of tests, information is obtained and integrated. The psychological testing will determine whether a person has any specific diagnosis related to learning, emotional, personality, or relationship problems.

  • The ADHD testing process typically involves three appointments: a clinical interview, testing session and a feedback session. During the comprehensive evaluation, various assessments, including continuous performance exams, cognitive testing, socio-emotional assessments and computer-based measures of ADHD symptoms, are conducted to gather essential information for an accurate diagnosis. This meticulous approach ensures a thorough understanding of the individual's experience.

  • Many adult clients come to testing when they are in search for a deeper understanding of their experience. Symptoms such as difficulties with attention, organization, hyperactive symptoms and impulsivity may indicate ADHD. It’s essential to seek testing if these symptoms persist, impacting academic, social or professional functioning. Diagnosis and intervention, highlighted through the assessment process can significantly improve the individual’s quality of life and pave the way for tailored support and strategies.
