Our assessment process is designed to be accessible to clients throughout California — from the Bay Area and Sacramento to San Diego and everywhere in between.

Many California clients come to us at career inflection points: a promotion that demands sharper executive functioning, graduate school where reading load and deadlines expose longstanding attention patterns, or a long-delayed question about whether ADHD explains years of effort without commensurate results. Our evaluations are built for those real-world stakes — not a quick screener or online quiz.

Each assessment includes a structured clinical interview, validated self-report and performance-based measures, and a detailed written report. When criteria are met, reports include diagnostic impressions and specific recommendations employers and HR teams can review under the Americans with Disabilities Act, university disability services offices can evaluate for academic accommodations, and psychiatrists or therapists can use for medication or therapy planning.

We also work with professionals in entertainment, tech, healthcare, finance, and creative fields across the state who need documentation that meets the standards their employer, licensing body, or graduate program typically expects — without overselling what any single evaluation can guarantee.

For clients in the Los Angeles area, we serve Beverly Hills and surrounding communities. See our dedicated page for ADHD assessment in Beverly Hills for more detail on that region.

Why families and professionals choose us

  • Clinically rigorous

    Licensed psychologists using validated instruments — structured interviews, standardized rating scales, and performance-based measures. Comprehensive evaluations, not checklist-only diagnoses.

  • Documentation-ready reports

    Professionally formatted reports with history, test results, diagnostic impressions, and recommendations — written for employers, universities, disability services offices, and clinicians.

  • Workplace & ADA context

    Reports designed for HR and manager review when workplace accommodations — flexible scheduling, quiet workspace, written instructions, or related adjustments — are being considered.

  • University disability services

    Documentation aligned with how California colleges, graduate programs, and professional schools evaluate accommodation requests — including extended time, note-taking support, and reduced-distraction testing environments.

  • Treatment planning foundation

    Findings your psychiatrist, therapist, or ADHD coach can use to guide medication trials, therapy focus, or coaching goals — whether you are starting treatment or revisiting a prior diagnosis.

  • Adults & students first

    Our ADHD pathway is designed for adults and university-age students navigating work, licensing, and competitive academic programs — not pediatric primary-care screeners.

Frequently asked questions

How do I schedule an ADHD assessment in California?

Contact us to discuss your concerns, timeline, and any documentation deadlines. We respond within one business day to confirm fit, explain the assessment process, and outline next steps for scheduling intake and testing sessions.

How long does a California ADHD assessment take?

Most evaluations include one to two testing sessions plus intake and a feedback meeting. Total timeline is typically two to four weeks from first contact to receiving your written report, depending on scheduling availability and report complexity.

How is this different from an online ADHD quiz or screener?

Our assessments are conducted by licensed psychologists using validated clinical instruments and structured diagnostic interviews. The result is a formal written report with test data and clinical impressions — suitable for documentation purposes, not a self-reported score from a website quiz.

Can the report be used for workplace accommodations under the ADA?

When diagnostic criteria are met, our reports include diagnostic impressions and practical accommodation recommendations employers and HR teams can review. Final accommodation decisions remain with your employer; we design reports to meet the documentation standards HR departments typically request.

Will California universities accept the report for disability services?

Our reports are written to meet the documentation expectations of university disability services offices — including UC, CSU, and private institutions across California. Specific requirements vary by school; tell us during intake if your program has a particular documentation format or renewal deadline.

Can I use the report to start or adjust ADHD medication?

Yes. Many clients share their report with a psychiatrist or primary care provider to support medication planning. The report documents history, test results, and diagnostic impressions your prescriber can weigh alongside their own clinical assessment.

Do you evaluate ADHD in children through this service?

Our ADHD assessment pathway is primarily designed for adults and university-age students. Attention and learning concerns in children and younger teens are typically addressed through our psychoeducational assessment service, which includes academic testing and school-focused recommendations.

How much does an ADHD assessment cost in California?

Fees depend on the scope of testing and any documentation deadlines. See our page on the cost of ADHD assessment in California for a transparent overview of pricing, what is included, and payment options — or contact us during intake for a personalized quote.
