Service Description
At Renewing Mindsets, we believe in a holistic approach to mental well-being, where each adolescent's unique needs and circumstances are carefully considered. Our comprehensive ADHD evaluation for adolescents aged 12-17 offers a thorough assessment process aimed at uncovering underlying mental health concerns and providing personalized care solutions.
Comprehensive ADHD Evaluation Process:
Our comprehensive ADHD evaluation begins with a 60-minute psychiatric assessment conducted during the initial session. This evaluation can be conducted either in-person or virtually, providing flexibility and convenience for our clients. Following the psychiatric assessment, clients undergo scheduled in-person ADHD testing to further assess attentional functioning and cognitive abilities.
Gold Standard: TOVA ADHD Testing:
As part of our comprehensive evaluation process, we utilize the Test of Variables of Attention (TOVA) ADHD Testing, recognized as the gold standard in ADHD assessment. TOVA provides objective and reliable measures of attention and response control, allowing us to accurately diagnose ADHD and tailor treatment plans accordingly. Testing is computerized and takes approximately 30 minutes.
Personalized Care and Prompt Results:
Our licensed professionals prioritize personalized care, utilizing assessment tools and testing alongside psychiatric evaluations to identify mental health concerns accurately. Following the completion of testing, clients can expect to receive ADHD diagnosis results within 1-3 days. This swift turnaround time ensures that clients receive timely feedback and can begin their journey towards improved mental well-being promptly.
Our comprehensive approach to mental health assessment and testing, coupled with our commitment to personalized care, ensures that your adolescent receives the support and guidance needed to thrive. Contact us to schedule your evaluation and embark on the path toward renewed mental wellness.

How Does ADHD testing work?For individuals seeking clarity on ADHD symptoms, adhd diagnosis, or requiring accommodations, our ADHD Comprehensive Evaluation is recommended and offers a thorough assessment that includes both virtual and in-person psychiatric evaluations, followed by in-person computerized ADHD testing. ADHD Comprehensive Evaluation ($460): Includes psychiatric evaluation with computerized TOVA testing. Evaluations can be conducted virtually and in person. This is essential for those seeking an ADHD diagnosis, accommodation, or treatment planning. Standardized ADHD Testing ($255): The purpose of T.O.V.A. (Test of Variables of Attention) testing is to objectively assess attention-related difficulties, such as those associated with ADHD (Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder). This does not include a diagnosis but is to accompany a previous provider's specific request for diagnostic testing only. Accommodations: To obtain ADHD accommodations, a comprehensive ADHD evaluation is necessary, and we provide accommodation letters for an additional fee of $95.

I was previously diagnosed. Will you manage my treatment and medication?Currently no, we do not manage ongoing treatment and medication for previously diagnosed individuals. Our focus is primarily on conducting ADHD evaluations and ensuring availability for our new patients seeking treatment management.

Do you accept insurance?Hi, thank you for reaching out to Renewing Mindsets. We are an out-of-network provider and do not accept insurance for ADHD testing.
