Adult ADHD Assessments
Adult ADHD Assessments at Alberta Psychology Group
Do you struggle with focus, organization, or managing daily responsibilities? Do you often feel overwhelmed, forgetful, or stuck, despite your best efforts? If these challenges resonate, you may be dealing with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). At Alberta Psychology Group, we provide comprehensive Adult ADHD Assessments to help you gain clarity, understand your experiences, and take the next steps toward effective support and solutions.
What Is ADHD in Adults?
ADHD is often associated with childhood, but many adults live with undiagnosed ADHD. While hyperactivity may decrease with age, symptoms like difficulty focusing, impulsivity, and emotional regulation challenges often persist, impacting work, relationships, and self-esteem.
Common Symptoms of ADHD in Adults:
- Trouble focusing on or completing tasks
- Frequently procrastinating or losing track of time
- Difficulty organizing priorities, schedules, or belongings
- Impulsivity in conversations or decision-making
- Emotional overwhelm or difficulty managing stress
- A tendency to feel frustrated or misunderstood
These challenges can make life feel harder than it needs to be, but with the right diagnosis and support, you can make meaningful changes and unlock your potential.
Why Seek an Adult ADHD Assessment?
An ADHD assessment can provide valuable insights into your unique strengths and challenges, giving you the clarity and tools to move forward.
Benefits of an ADHD Assessment:
- Gain a clear understanding of your struggles and behaviors.
- Receive a formal diagnosis, if applicable, which can open the door to appropriate treatment, accommodations, and support.
- Learn how ADHD impacts your work, relationships, and daily life.
- Access recommendations for therapy, workplace strategies, or medication (if needed).
- Reduce feelings of confusion, frustration, or self-blame by understanding the root causes of your difficulties.
Our Comprehensive ADHD Assessment Process
At Alberta Psychology Group, our assessments are thorough, compassionate, and designed to provide a complete picture of your strengths and challenges.
1. Initial Consultation
We begin with a detailed conversation to understand your history, concerns, and goals for the assessment. This session provides an opportunity to discuss how ADHD symptoms may be affecting your life.
2. In-Depth Questionnaires
You will complete standardized questionnaires that assess ADHD symptoms, executive functioning, and related areas like mood, anxiety, or sleep patterns.
3. Clinical Interview
A psychologist will conduct a comprehensive interview, exploring your developmental, academic, and occupational history to identify patterns consistent with ADHD.
4. Feedback and Recommendations
Once the assessment is complete, we provide a clear, written report with a diagnosis (if applicable) and actionable recommendations tailored to your needs. These may include therapy, coaching, workplace accommodations, or referrals for medication if appropriate.
Understanding ADHD and Co-Occurring Conditions
ADHD often occurs alongside other mental health conditions, such as anxiety, depression, or trauma-related challenges. Our assessments are designed to identify these overlapping concerns to ensure you receive comprehensive care.
At Alberta Psychology Group, we specialize in trauma-informed care, recognizing that unresolved trauma can amplify ADHD symptoms like distractibility, emotional dysregulation, and impulsivity.
