ADHD Evaluations for Teen Girls & Women
ADHD often presents differently in girls and women, which can lead to missed or late diagnoses. Whether you're a teen navigating school and friendships, or an adult managing work, relationships, and daily responsibilities, an ADHD evaluation can bring clarity and validation to experiences that may have felt confusing or overwhelming.
Understanding how ADHD shows up in your life can help you make sense of past struggles, develop effective coping strategies, and move forward with greater self-awareness and confidence.
Common signs of ADHD in girls and women may include:
Trouble staying organized or completing tasks
Feeling mentally overwhelmed or emotionally overstimulated
Difficulty focusing, especially in unstructured environments
Daydreaming or zoning out frequently
Chronic forgetfulness or losing things often
High sensitivity to criticism or rejection (sometimes called "rejection sensitivity")
Frequent procrastination or difficulty with time management
Masking or overcompensating to meet others’ expectations
Persistent feelings of underachievement, despite working hard
What to Expect from the Evaluation Process:
Our ADHD evaluation process is thoughtful, collaborative, and designed to help you feel supported and informed every step of the way. It includes:
Completion of several evidence-based assessments and questionnaires
A series of evaluative sessions where we’ll explore your current challenges, past experiences, and patterns that may align with ADHD
One dedicated feedback session where I will review your assessment results with you, provide a clear explanation of the findings, and offer individualized recommendations and next steps to move forward with your diagnosis
Whether you're seeking answers for yourself or your teen, this process is meant to provide clarity and set the foundation for compassionate, empowering support. If you’re ready to begin, I’d love to connect with you.
