Before You Blame Yourself — Let’s Talk About ADHD.

Testing for ADHD can be the first step toward understanding your brain — and changing your story.

If it feels like things should be getting better by now — but they’re not — there’s probably a reason.

You’re doing the work. You are trying.

But anxiety still runs the show, emotional reactions feel like wildfires, and every small task is a battle.

It’s not laziness. It’s not defiance. And it’s definitely not because you're not trying hard enough.

Sometimes what looks like “treatment resistance” is actually undiagnosed ADHD. And when ADHD flies under the radar, therapy can feel like running in circles — no matter how skilled your provider is.

That’s where we come in. We specialize in uncovering what’s really going on — so you (or your teen) can finally move forward with a care plan that actually fits.

ADHD Isn’t Just About Focus — It’s About Functioning

Most people hear “ADHD” and picture a fidgety kid in a classroom.
But in real life, especially for teens and adults, ADHD can hide in plain sight:

  • Emotional outbursts that come out of nowhere

  • Getting stuck in thought loops

  • “All or nothing” thinking that leads to shame or shutdowns

  • Struggles with follow-through, motivation, and impulse control

  • Meltdowns that don’t make sense, even to the person having them

And when therapy doesn’t help the way it should? You start to think you’re the problem.

But what if it’s not you?


What if it’s an untreated neurotype that just needs a different kind of support?

Why ADHD Testing Matters

  • Understand what’s getting in the way

  • Tailor therapy to what you or your teen actually need

  • Supporting nervous system—beyond “manage symptoms”

  • Explore accommodations, medication, and other supports

This Isn’t About Labels — It’s About Liberation

Getting tested for ADHD isn’t about “putting you in a box.”

It’s about understanding why things have felt so hard — and giving yourself permission to stop white-knuckling life.

When you have the full picture, you can:

  • Stop blaming yourself for the way your brain is wired

  • Adjust therapy goals and strategies to match your actual needs

  • Explore medication, accommodations, or tools without guesswork

  • Shift from shame to self-trust

  • Finally feel seen — by your care team and by yourself

ADHD testing is one step toward clarity, calm, and confidence — not more “shoulds,” but more alignment.

What ADHD Testing Looks Like at Our Practice

Testing doesn’t have to be cold, clinical, or confusing. Here’s what you can expect from start to finish:

🧠 Step 1: A Real Conversation with a Therapist

We start with a one-on-one session to hear your story — what’s been working, what hasn’t, and what’s led you here. It’s not just intake; it’s connection and context.

💻 Step 2: A 20-Minute QbTest

This FDA-cleared tool measures attention, activity, and impulse control using a computer-based task. It’s quick, research-backed, and helps us see the neuro markers of ADHD in real time.

📊 Step 3: A Visual Report & Walkthrough

We give you a clear, visual breakdown of the results — no medical jargon or guesswork. Just helpful info, explained in plain language, with recommendations you can actually use.

Cost: $350
Time Commitment: 45-120 minutes
Ages: 13–60

⚠️ Need this for school, IEP, or formal accommodations?

Qb Testing may not meet the requirements for all institutions. Full-scale evaluations with a psychologist offer a more comprehensive (and more costly) option, especially for formal accommodations.

Still, many of our clients find Qb Testing deeply validating — offering clarity, supporting treatment decisions, and affirming their lived experience.

You Deserve Answers That Actually Make Sense

If you're tired of hearing “just try harder”...

If therapy isn’t quite landing…

If you do all the things and still feel stuck...

If nothing makes it “go away”…

Maybe it’s time to stop asking….

“What’s wrong with me?”

and time to start asking….

“What’s going on under the surface?”

ADHD testing won’t fix everything overnight — but it can change the story you're telling yourself. It can point you toward the kind of support that actually fits. And sometimes, that’s the shift that makes everything else possible.

  • Testing starts at $350

  • For ages 13–60

  • Includes full therapist consult and visual results report

Frequently Asked Questions About ADHD Testing

  • At this time, this process is not covered by insurance due to the strict qualification requirements they still have in place.

  • We can provide a superbill for the specific QB Test administered, which will not reflect the full $350 fee but only the fee of the QB testing, but most insurances will not reimburse due to their strict guidelines on qualifications of test administrators.

  • QbTest is a powerful clinical tool that provides objective data, but a full diagnosis comes from a licensed and specially trained provider who interprets the results alongside your history and symptoms. We use this data to guide next steps, which may include a formal diagnosis and treatment recommendations. Note, though, that clients have the right to request certain things not be included in their medical record when they are paying in cash without using insurance. Chat with us about this if you want to know more.

  • Submit a request to get booked and if you have questions you can chat with one of our care providers.
