Something needs to change
but you’re not sure what

kids and teens

As a parent, you notice that your child just can’t focus or keep up. They try to stay organized but always seem to fall behind. You want them to be on top of all their schoolwork and homework but when it’s time to do it, it’s so hard for your child to put anything into action.

Your child tends procrastinate and tend to do tasks last minute, yet also seems to feel guilty and depressed that they aren’t doing that well at school. They begin to wonder why something that looks so easy for other people is so hard for them. It’s hard for them to learn new things, remember to do tasks.

People around them begin to assume they aren’t trying hard enough. It’s hard for people to understand and see that your child really is trying. You can’t help but wonder if something deeper is going on with your child.

You’ve spent most of your life struggling to get motivated to change. Something as simple as getting off the couch to cook dinner can take so much energy — energy you just don’t have. You’ve struggled with this for your whole life and can’t help but wonder why things are so difficult. You feel as if something is wrong with you fundamentally. It has been hard to go through life feeling as if you haven’t been able to meet your fullest potential, with one difficulty after another. It’s a struggle to concentrate and focus and life feels very chaotic. There are deep feelings of guilt and shame as you wonder why it is so hard to get your life together. You would like to be able to get things done but you’re not sure where to start.

Comprehensive ADHD assessment
+ expert diagnostics

ADHD and the learning and emotional difficulties that it comes with can often be hidden, particularly in individuals who are highly functional. A comprehensive neuropsychological or psychoeducational evaluation can help clarify and put into words the exact difficulties either you or your child have been experiencing. Change can only occur once difficulties are clearly identified and brought into greater awareness. If you or your child are experiencing difficulties with school, work, academics, or socially, we encourage you to reach out to us to learn more about our assessment process, or to read more about our testing services.
