ADHD TESTING
Do you have difficulty meeting deadlines or showing up to work on time? Do you often lose things or struggle to complete tasks? Do you fear rejection and find it hard to maintain relationships? If this sounds like you, you may have undiagnosed ADHD.

This report includes clear, actionable recommendations for managing ADHD symptoms, improving daily functioning, and enhancing overall quality of life, if an ADHD diagnosis is supported.
Empowering Clients: Our ultimate goal is to empower clients with the knowledge and tools they need to navigate life with ADHD successfully. We believe that with the right strategies and support, individuals with ADHD can thrive and reach their full potential.

Expert Evaluation: Laguna Psychological Services offers a targeted ADHD Testing program. Quality ADHD testing includes several data points, including information from you and people who know you well. Relying solely upon self-report questionnaires is not recommended to confirm an ADHD diagnosis in adulthood.[3] Testing begins with a thorough evaluation conducted by a licensed psychologist. With extensive experience in assessing ADHD and related conditions, Dr. Enrique utilizes a combination of clinical interviews, standardized assessments, and observational data to gain a comprehensive understanding of an individual's symptoms, challenges, and strengths.
Individualized Care: We understand that each person is unique, and ADHD can manifest differently from one individual to another. That's why our ADHD Testing services are highly individualized. We take into account an individual's developmental history, current circumstances, and specific concerns to create a personalized assessment plan.
Collaborative Approach: At Laguna Psychological Services, we believe in a collaborative approach to ADHD testing. We encourage open communication between our clinicians, clients, and their families or support networks. We value your insights and strive to create a supportive, non-judgmental environment where you can share your experiences and concerns.
Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) affects approximately 5% of adults in the U.S. [1] ADHD can impact academic performance, work performance, relationships, and more. Although ADHD typically begins in childhood, getting appropriate testing as a child can be difficult for many reasons. Research shows that certain cultural or ethnic groups, such as Asians/Asian-Americans, are less likely to be assessed or treated for ADHD than other groups.[2] In fact, many individuals are not diagnosed with ADHD until adulthood and often struggle with various tasks without understanding why. If you believe you may have undiagnosed ADHD, you may benefit from formal ADHD testing.
