ADHD Assessments

At ParityWell, we provide comprehensive adult ADHD assessments for those in New York City and throughout the states of New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania.

Who you are

  • ✺

    Many of our clients are high-achieving professionals, creatives, caregivers, and/or healthcare providers themselves. They may have been overlooked in childhood because they didn’t fit the stereotypical picture of attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) or they may be seeking an updated evaluation or second opinion.

  • ✺

    ADHD can present very differently in adults — particularly among women, queer and trans individuals, BIPOC adults,  and men with non-stereotypical presentations. ADHD is often masked by intelligence and adaptive coping strategies, which can make recognition and diagnosis more challenging.

Effective Support Starts With an Accurate Diagnosis

Many adults with ADHD have spent years developing strong compensatory strategies: overworking to meet deadlines, masking forgetfulness with perfectionism, or relying on adrenaline and crisis-mode focus to get things done. 

While these strengths often help people succeed academically or professionally, they can also lead to chronic exhaustion, self-doubt, irritability, and burnout. ADHD and co-occurring mental health conditions occur frequently, especially when ADHD goes unsupported. 

Unfortunately, because of this, ADHD in adults is often overlooked or misattributed to anxiety, depression, trauma, or addictive behavior rather than being recognized as a distinct neurodevelopmental difference. This phenomenon, known as “diagnostic overshadowing,” occurs when the effects of secondary conditions mask the primary concern, leading to a person’s original needs continuing to be overlooked..

Our ADHD evaluations uncover your complete neurodevelopmental and sensory profile with respect and accuracy so you can access effective support moving forward.

What You Can Expect

Our goal is not just to confirm or rule out ADHD.  We help you understand how your brain works — identifying patterns of attention, executive function, emotion regulation, and focus that impact work, relationships, and wellbeing. 

 Our ADHD evaluation includes:

  • A detailed clinical and developmental interview (virtual or in-person)

  • Standardized tools such as the DIVA-5, CAARS, ASRS, and Brown EF/A scales

  • Questionnaires exploring executive function, attention, masking, and emotional coping

  • Optional collateral input from loved ones,  historical records and prior evaluations (if available)

  • Personalized feedback and a detailed written report with recommendations and referrals tailored specifically for you

Our clinical services are available in New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania, with our in-person office in NYC and coaching and consulting worldwide.

Who Can Benefit From Adult ADHD Testing?

In a place like New York City, where the pace is relentless and stimulation is constant, executive functioning challenges associated with ADHD can become especially pronounced. The sensory intensity, competing demands, and nonstop momentum of NYC life often amplify difficulties with focus, time management, and emotional regulation — even for people who are otherwise high-functioning and successful. 

For many of our clients, NYC’s pace is both inspiring and overwhelming, underscoring the importance of understanding how neurodevelopmental differences like ADHD may show up in daily life and how to create systems that support balance amid the chaos.

Our ADHD evaluations are especially helpful for adults who:

  • Are seeking an updated assessment or a second opinion from a specialist trained to assess high masking profiles 

  • Suspect they may have ADHD but have never been formally assessed

  • Experience burnout, overwhelm, or inconsistent focus despite strong abilities

  • Have a history of “invisible” struggles with organization, procrastination, or time management

  • Have received multiple or inaccurate mental-health diagnoses

  • Feel stuck in therapy or like they are not getting as much out of it as they’d like

  • Want clarity about ADHD versus (or alongside) other frequently co-occurring conditions (e.g autism, trauma, anxiety, or learning differences)

We often see individuals who identify as sensitive, gifted, queer, trans, BIPOC — and even fellow therapists or healthcare providers. Many adults with “non-stereotypical” presentations of neurodevelopmental differences may have been overlooked in childhood.

What You’ll Gain From Our ADHD Evaluations

You’ll leave your assessment with:

  • A clear explanation of your neurodevelopmental profile

  • Practical recommendations for therapy, coaching, or workplace/academic accommodations

  • Referrals to affirming providers, coaches, and community resources tailored to your goals

We believe accurate identification is a critical first step toward effective care.

Whether you formally identify as ADHD, autistic, or neurocomplex, understanding your neurotype can bring relief, validation, and actionable direction.

ADHD Therapy Options

At ParityWell, we practice from a neuroaffirming lens and do not view ADHD as a deficit. Instead, we recognize that ADHD encompasses both unique strengths and challenges. With the right understanding and support, those strengths can emerge and be effectively harnessed.

Many clients choose to pursue therapy or coaching after receiving an ADHD diagnosis to implement solutions. 

We have ADHD specialists available if you choose to begin therapy after an ADHD diagnosis. Executive functioning coaching or a therapist specializing in ADHD can meet online or in person at our office next to Columbus Circle in midtown Manhattan. 

Depending on your goals, help with  ADHD may focus on:

  • Task initiation, organization, and time management

  • Managing overwhelm and emotional regulation

  • Building sustainable routines and preventing burnout

  • Effectively targeting and eliminating symptoms from co-occurring conditions (anxiety, depression, trauma)

We may recommend ADHD treatment approaches such as:

ADHD therapy isn’t about changing who you are — it’s about helping you live more comfortably and confidently as yourself. ParityWell is a neurodivergent-affirming practice dedicated to respectful evidence-based care.

Work and School Accommodations After an ADHD Diagnosis

In New York City, ADHD accommodations can be especially important. The city’s restless nature, buzzing offices, and constant sensory input can make focus and organization uniquely challenging for adults with ADHD. 

Whether you work in a corporate office, creative studio, or academic setting, an evidence-based ADHD assessment from ParityWell helps you communicate your needs clearly and confidently when needed.

Your ADHD diagnosis can be shared with employers, HR departments, or educational institutions to document specific needs such as:

  • Flexible scheduling or extended deadlines

  • Adjusted communication and feedback structures

  • Reduced distractions or quiet workspaces

  • Assistive technology for planning, writing, or focus

  • Extended testing time or note-taking assistance in educational contexts

Each report is evidence-based and written for real-world use — empowering you to advocate confidently for yourself.
