You have seventeen things to do today and you've done none of them, despite caring intensely about each one. You've made a list, color-coded it, opened the first task on your laptop, and somehow it's 2pm and you've spent the last hour researching a topic that has nothing to do with any of the seventeen things. The list is still there. The guilt is building.

This isn't new. You've been living with it for as long as you can remember, and for most of that time you've attributed it to some version of not being disciplined enough. You watch other people move through their days, finishing what they start, arriving on time, keeping their homes clean, following through on plans, and you can't figure out what they have that you don't. You'd have closed this gap by now if intelligence or motivation were what's missing. Something in the execution keeps breaking down, and no amount of planners, apps, or morning routines has fixed it.

Your work life follows a boom-and-bust cycle. When a deadline is immediate and the pressure is high, you can produce extraordinary work in a compressed window. The rest of the time, you struggle to start things that should be simple. Your boss has probably noticed the inconsistency, and you've been told you have "so much potential," which at this point feels less like a compliment and more like an indictment of everything you haven't delivered.

Your relationships carry the marks of this too. Your partner reminds you about something you agreed to do, and you have no memory of the conversation. Appointments get missed and plans get forgotten. The mental load of the household falls disproportionately on the other person because you can't reliably hold onto tasks once they leave your line of sight. The frustration on both sides has turned into a cycle: they remind, you forget, they stop reminding, things fall apart, you fight about it.

You might have been treated for anxiety or depression. The medication may have taken the edge off the worry or the low mood, but the core problem, the focus, the follow-through, the sense of moving at full capacity and getting nowhere, never budged. You've wondered whether ADHD might explain that gap, but you've put off pursuing it because the process seemed complicated, expensive, or hard to find.

And under all of it is a narrative you've carried for years: that you're not trying hard enough, that other people have the same challenges and just handle them better, that whatever is wrong with you is a character problem rather than a clinical one. The narrative costs you more than the symptoms do. It turns every missed deadline and forgotten errand into evidence of who you are rather than evidence of what's happening in your brain.

The question you've been carrying for years (am I lazy, undisciplined, depressed, or is something else going on) gets a clinical answer. You stop opening Reddit threads at 11pm trying to figure out if your symptoms match. You stop wondering if you're imagining it. You have a documented clinical assessment with diagnostic impressions, and the not-knowing is over.

The story that's been the loudest part of all of this (lazy, undisciplined, not as capable as people think) gets a different explanation, one that comes from a clinician who's just spent two hours assessing your specific picture. The story doesn't disappear overnight, but each future forgotten thing stops going automatically into the same old pile.

Your partner reads the report and stops interpreting your forgotten promises as a values problem. The next conversation about the unreturned text, the missed appointment, the bill you said you'd pay starts from a clinical frame instead of a moral one. Whether you both build systems together, find a couples therapist, or just have one different conversation, the framing has changed.

You walk into your next annual review with clinical language for what your manager has been calling "inconsistent." Whether you choose to share the report or just use the framework to think differently about the feedback, the meeting doesn't have to land the same way it has every year. "Has so much potential" has a different meaning when you understand the structural reason the potential hasn't been getting realized.

You take the report to a prescriber and the medication conversation has structure instead of you trying to advocate for your symptoms from scratch. Whether stimulant medication is appropriate for your situation, and whether it works if you try it, is between you and your prescriber. The final prescribing decision rests with the medical provider. What changes is that you stop being one of many patients describing vague concerns and become a patient bringing a clinical document.

The next career conversation, with your manager, your partner, or yourself, has a clear-eyed read on what your specific brain does well and doesn't. The job decisions you've been making blind start to have criteria. The workbook offers strategies you can try (body doubling, externalized deadlines, breaking tasks down to the smallest possible first step) and the report itself becomes a starting point for working with a therapist or coach who specializes in adult ADHD.

The assessment takes place over secure, HIPAA-compliant video in a single two-hour appointment. We talk through your current symptoms, how things have been since you were a kid, and how all of it shows up at work, at home, and in your relationships. The conversation follows a structured framework while staying conversational, meaning I work through a defined set of topics but let your specific story shape the questions.

The framework I use is called the DIVA-5, the standard tool used in research and specialty clinics to evaluate adult ADHD. It walks through focus, follow-through, restlessness, impulsivity, and how those have shown up across different parts of your life through specific real-life examples instead of abstract questions. I also ask about anxiety and depression, since those often go hand-in-hand with ADHD and can muddy the picture if we don't look at them together.

By the end of the appointment, we have a thorough picture of how your brain works and whether ADHD is driving the symptoms you've been living with. I take the next 7 to 10 business days to score the interview, write up the findings, and deliver your written report.

A two-hour diagnostic interview over secure video. We treat this as a structured clinical conversation rather than a symptom checklist, walking through your current experience, your childhood history, and the functional impact of your symptoms across every area of your life.

A comprehensive written report delivered securely within 7 to 10 business days. The report covers your presenting concerns, findings across inattention and hyperactivity/impulsivity, functional impacts at work and in relationships, your strengths and compensatory strategies, and personalized recommendations for next steps. It's written so that you can understand it and so that a prescriber or therapist can act on it.

An ADHD tools workbook with practical strategies for focus, time management, organization, and emotional regulation. You can start applying these immediately, regardless of whether the assessment confirms ADHD.

If ADHD is confirmed, the report gives you a clear next step. You can bring it to a psychiatrist or nurse practitioner to discuss medication. You can share it with an ADHD coach or therapist so your treatment is built on a specific, documented profile rather than guesswork.

If ADHD is not confirmed, the report explains what is and isn't driving the symptoms you've been experiencing, and includes recommendations for what to explore next. Either way, you walk away with answers.

Flat fee: $900. This includes the two-hour diagnostic interview, two hours of clinician scoring and report writing, and the ADHD tools workbook. Payment is due at booking; this is a private-pay service.

Report delivered securely by email within 7 to 10 business days after your appointment.

One session, one report, a clear answer and a practical path forward.

This assessment is not designed for: children or teens, formal workplace or academic accommodations, disability determinations (SSDI, SSI, private disability claims), court-ordered or forensic evaluations, or a full neuropsychological evaluation. Each of those requires a different type of assessment. If you need any of them, I'll provide referral options.

Can I do this assessment online from anywhere in Florida? Yes. I'm licensed to provide telehealth services to adults throughout Florida. The assessment takes place over a secure, HIPAA-compliant video platform.

Will I get a clear answer about ADHD from this assessment? Yes. If your symptoms meet DSM-5 criteria for ADHD, the report documents diagnostic impressions of ADHD with clinical rationale, including how the criteria are met. If they don't meet criteria, the report explains what the assessment found, what else may be driving the symptoms, and recommended next steps.

Can I use this report to get ADHD medication? Many prescribers accept a thorough clinical assessment report as part of their evaluation process. The report is written in a format prescribers can work with. The final prescribing decision rests with your medical provider.

How is this different from online ADHD quizzes? Online quizzes are brief screening tools that indicate whether ADHD is possible. This is a comprehensive clinical assessment using the DIVA-5, a validated diagnostic interview, conducted by a licensed clinician. It's a structured diagnostic evaluation. The written report documents your symptoms, history, functional impacts, and diagnostic findings.

What can I use the report for, and what is it NOT for? The report supports prescriber conversations about ADHD medication, provides a clinical baseline for a therapist or ADHD coach, and gives you a detailed picture of your ADHD profile.

Important: this report is NOT designed to support:

• Formal workplace accommodations (ADA requests for extra time, schedule changes, or other modifications at your job)

• Academic accommodations (extra time on tests, note-taking support, or other modifications at school or in college)

• Disability determinations (SSDI, SSI, or private disability insurance claims)

• Court-ordered or forensic evaluations

Each of those typically requires a full neuropsychological evaluation, which is a more extensive process involving multiple appointments and standardized cognitive testing. If you need an evaluation for any of those purposes, please tell me before booking and I'll refer you to a qualified provider.

Do you accept insurance? No, this is a private-pay service. The flat fee covers the full assessment, report, and workbook.

How soon will I get my report? Within 7 to 10 business days after your appointment.
