An ADHD assessment can help you understand whether the challenges you or your child are experiencing, such as difficulty focusing, emotional intensity, or struggling to follow through despite strong intentions, are consistent with ADHD.
For many people, an ADHD assessment provides long-awaited answers. It can start to replace years of self-blame or uncertainty with understanding, helping you see behaviours and patterns through a more accurate, compassionate lens so you can make informed decisions about next steps, whether that involves therapy, additional support, or medication, if appropriate.
Who Should Consider an ADHD Assessment
You might consider an ADHD assessment for you or your child if certain patterns such as trouble staying engaged or managing time keep showing up, especially if attempts to try to “push through” haven’t been successful. For many people, these experiences have been explained away for years as stress, personality, or lack of discipline. An ADHD assessment can help determine whether ADHD — or another explanation — may be contributing, and what kind of support may be most helpful.
Do You Recognize Yourself or Your Child In Any of These Experiences?
Struggling to Focus
Struggling to focus or stay engaged, especially on tasks that feel routine, boring, or overwhelming, even when they’re important.
Difficulty Managing Time
Time management feels consistently difficult, leading to lateness, rushing, missed deadlines, or feeling like time slips away.
Disorganization and Forgetfulness
Disorganization and forgetfulness interfere with daily life, from losing important items to forgetting commitments or follow-ups.
Restlessness
Feeling constantly restless or internally “on edge,” even when physically still.
Intense Emotions
Emotions feel intense or hard to regulate, with quick reactions, frustration, or emotional swings that are difficult to manage.
Impulsivity and Rash Decisions
Interrupting, acting impulsively, or making quick decisions, and then feeling regretful later.
Challenged Following Instructions
Following instructions or staying present in conversations feels more challenging than it seems for others.
Poor Routines and Habits
Maintaining routines and healthy habits takes more effort than expected and often falls apart over time.
Academic Challenges
Work or academic challenges have been a long-term pattern, despite intelligence, effort, or motivation.
Anxiety, Depression, and Burnout
Suspecting anxiety, depression, or burnout may be connected to something deeper, rather than being the whole picture.

Experienced ADHD Clinicians

Accessible Care Across

Multidisciplinary Perspective
Assessments are supported by a multidisciplinary team, including psychiatrists and nurse practitioners, allowing for collaboration across professional perspectives and more well-rounded recommendations.
Evidence-Based Standards

What Your ADHD Assessment Includes
Our clinic partners with FasTreat to help adults, teens, and children receive ADHD assessments that are accessible, evidence-based, and focused on real-life impact — not just symptoms on a checklist. An ADHD assessment can help determine decisions about support and next steps that can benefit you or your child the most.
An ADHD Assessment Through FasTreat Includes:
Understanding current challenges: You’ll be guided through a focused intake to explore the concerns that brought you here, such as chronic overwhelm, difficulty with focus or follow-through, emotional regulation challenges, or long-standing struggles at work, school, or home.
Assessment for Possible ADHD: Your FasTreat evaluation will determine whether your experiences are consistent with ADHD, using established diagnostic criteria and evidence-based tools appropriate for adults, teens, or children.
Considering Other Explanations and Overlapping Symptoms: ADHD can often overlap with other challenges. Your assessment considers related or co-occurring conditions, such as anxiety, depression, learning differences, or stress, and the possibility that more than one diagnosis may be relevant.
Clear, Personalized Recommendations: You’ll receive specific recommendations for next steps, which may include therapy, skill-building strategies, medical follow-up, accommodations, or additional resources for support.
What Happens After Your ADHD Assessment
Once you receive your ADHD assessment results, the focus shifts to understanding what they mean for you and how to use that information. Our therapists can help you translate your assessment results into ongoing resources that fit your life, whether that’s therapy, skills-based work, or considering medication.
Depending on Your Results, Next Steps May Include:
Reviewing Your Results
We’ll have a follow-up conversation to help you understand your results, answer your questions, and explore how the findings connect to your real-life experiences.
ADHD Accommodations
We can provide guidance on using your report for academic accommodations, workplace adjustments, or formal documentation requests, so you’re not navigating those systems alone.
Therapy or Skills-Based Support
We help match you with a therapist who understands ADHD and how it shows up in everyday life. Select therapists have lived experience with ADHD, and sessions are adapted to support engagement.
Personalized Action Plan
We’ll collaborate with you to create a practical, personalized plan that takes into account your goals, daily demands, and strengths, helping you decide what next steps make the most sense for you or your child.
Medical Follow-Up
When appropriate, we can support you in connecting with medical providers who can help you explore whether medication or further evaluation is worth considering, based on your assessment results.
