A clearer path, a calmer mind, and answers that finally make sense.


If you’ve been wondering whether ADHD might be part of your story or your child’s you’re not alone. Many people spend years fighting through distraction, forgetfulness, overwhelm, or a brain that feels like it’s running 15 tabs at once. It’s exhausting. And confusing. And it can leave you wondering, “Is this just me… or is something else going on?”

That’s exactly why we’re excited to share an important update:

We now offers ADHD testing using the FDA-cleared QbCheck assessment.


It’s a modern, objective, science-backed way to evaluate ADHD in both adults and adolescents. If you’ve been searching for clarity, this is the kind of testing that helps you get real answers—not guesswork.


Why We Added ADHD Testing


ADHD is common, but it often goes undiagnosed—especially in adults and teens who have learned to “push through” or hide their struggles. Many people worry that ADHD evaluations are vague or subjective, and historically, that hasn’t been entirely wrong.

So we wanted something better.
Something clearer.
Something measurable.


The QbCheck gives us exactly that:


an objective look at attention, impulsivity, and activity
, the three core symptom areas of ADHD. When combined with a thorough clinical interview and rating scales, it brings real accuracy and confidence to the diagnosis process.


What Makes QbCheck Different


Think of QbCheck as the missing puzzle piece in traditional ADHD evaluations.


It’s an FDA-cleared, computer-based assessment that compares your performance to people your same age and sex. It does this through:


  • A 15–20 minute task that measures sustained attention and impulse control
  • Your laptop’s built-in webcam, which tracks movement to measure hyperactivity
  • A secure online platform that lets you take the test in our clinic or from home (if your computer meets the requirements)


The result?


A data-backed snapshot of how your brain manages focus, activity, and quick decisions—things most people with ADHD struggle with daily.


It’s not intimidating. It’s not complicated.


Honestly, it feels a little like playing a computer game where the goal is simply: “Pay attention.” Easier said than done, of course—but that’s the point.


What to Expect During the Full ADHD Evaluation


Our ADHD assessment isn’t just one test. We use a three-part diagnostic process designed to give you the most complete and accurate results:


1. A clinical interview


We talk about your symptoms, history, strengths, challenges, and daily life.
No judgment—just real conversation.


2. The QbCheck test


This gives us objective data about attention, activity level, and impulsivity.


3. Rating scales


You (and sometimes a parent, teacher, or partner) fill out brief questionnaires that help us understand how symptoms show up in real-world settings.


When we bring all three together, we get a full picture—not just snapshots or assumptions.


Why an Accurate Diagnosis Matters


A clear diagnosis can change everything.


It helps you understand your brain instead of blaming it.


It points you toward treatment that actually works—whether that includes medication, therapy, coaching, school or workplace accommodations, or lifestyle adjustments.


Most importantly, it gives you a plan.


ADHD isn’t a character flaw or a personal failure. It’s a neurobiological condition. And when you understand it, you can manage it.


Who Should Consider Getting Tested?


You may benefit from an ADHD evaluation if you—or your child—frequently experience:


  • Difficulty staying focused
  • Chronic forgetfulness
  • Trouble starting or completing tasks
  • Restlessness or feeling “on the go”
  • Impulsive decisions
  • Daydreaming or zoning out
  • Poor time management
  • Emotional overwhelm
  • Losing items constantly (keys, phones, sanity… we’ve seen it all)


If these symptoms interfere with work, school, relationships, or everyday functioning, testing can help clarify what’s going on.


Ready for Answers? We’re Here to Help.

Spravato is different from traditional antidepressants. It’s FDA-approved and can help people who haven’t responded to other medications.

Spravato is an FDA-approved nasal spray that works differently than traditional antidepressants. While most medications target serotonin or norepinephrine, Spravato boosts glutamate, which helps the brain form new connections. In simple terms, it helps “rewire” parts of the brain affected by depression.
