ADHD Diagnosis
Clear answers from someone who knows ADHD
An ADHD evaluation tells you whether you have ADHD and what to do next. Dr. Stephanie White, PsyD, LCSW, does our evaluations over video: one 90-minute appointment for $475, plus a $250 follow-up if you’re diagnosed. Evaluations are available in 22 states.
A Diagnosis Built on Understanding
When seeking a diagnosis for ADHD, it is critical that you work with somebody who does assessment work regularly. The stakes are high for a correct diagnosis. Misdiagnosis can cause years of struggles. The right diagnosis is the first step toward the right plan.
Dr. Stephanie White, PsyD, LCSW, has over 20 years of experience diagnosing ADHD and other behavioral and mental health conditions. Dr. White is also an expert in diagnosing Autism and can diagnose ADHD, Autism, or AuDHD (both).
ADHD comes with strengths & struggles
We look at ADHD as a trait that comes with both positive and negative attributes. We also know that ADHD is on a continuum, so someone with 3 or 4 symptoms may still need help.
How it works:
Initial Screening
We will ask you to fill out a symptoms rating scale and questionnaire that asks about family history, medical, and mental health background.
In-depth interview
You’ll meet with Dr. White on video for an in-depth interview about your history, your daily life and what brought you here.
Checking for other causes
ADHD often comes with other conditions, and some look like it. Dr. White also checks for anxiety, depression and other conditions so you get the full picture. Sometimes, people come to us wondering about ADHD and they don't have it at all.
A plan & a positive outlook
If Dr. White finds that you have ADHD or another condition, we schedule a 50-minute follow-up to go over the results and plan next steps, such as coaching, talking with your doctor about medication, or therapy with a provider near you. We don’t offer therapy. If you’d benefit from it, Dr. White will tell you and suggest where to look.
Why work with us for a diagnosis?
An ADHD diagnosis should come from someone who does them often. Dr. White has diagnosed ADHD for over 20 years and also evaluates for autism and AuDHD (both). She’ll tell you what she finds, explain how she got there and suggest next steps either way.
Compassionate and collaborative, she creates a safe space for growth and understanding.

Questions about ADHD evaluations
What to expect, what it costs, and what happens after.
The evaluation is one 90-minute video appointment. You fill out symptom rating scales and a history questionnaire, then Dr. White does an in-depth interview. She also checks for conditions that often come with ADHD or look like it, such as anxiety and depression. If you’re diagnosed, a 50-minute follow-up goes over the results and a plan.
The evaluation is $475. If you’re diagnosed, the follow-up is $250. We’re out-of-network, so we give you a superbill to send to your insurer for possible reimbursement.
Psychologists, psychiatrists, psychiatric nurse practitioners, neuropsychologists, developmental pediatricians and master’s-level therapists can all diagnose ADHD. Primary care doctors can too, but ask how often they do it. Ideally, you want someone who diagnoses ADHD regularly. Our evaluations are done by Dr. Stephanie White, PsyD, LCSW, who has diagnosed ADHD for over 20 years.
A checklist is a good start, not a diagnosis. It’s very hard to rate yourself objectively, and only a professional can rule out other causes. Our 2-minute screener can tell you whether an evaluation is worth it.
ADD is the old name. Since 1987 the official name has been ADHD, and what people still call “ADD” is now ADHD, predominantly inattentive presentation: trouble focusing, finishing and staying organized without much hyperactivity. It isn’t a milder form of ADHD, just a different mix of symptoms.
The DSM-5-TR describes three presentations: predominantly inattentive, predominantly hyperactive-impulsive, and combined. Which one fits depends on which symptoms have shown up for at least six months, and it can change over time.
That happens, and it’s useful to know. Dr. White will tell you what she finds, explain how she got there and suggest next steps either way.
Any past evaluations or school reports, a list of current medications, and the name of someone who knows you well, since a second person’s view is often part of a good evaluation.
Most adults feel two things at once: relief at finally understanding, and grief over not knowing sooner. Both are normal. Then build your support: a coach, a therapist or a prescriber if you need one. With a new understanding of your brain, you get a fresh start.
