Testing Process
The testing process is uncomplicated and you get your results within a few days.
We will use the current gold standard assessment protocol for diagnosing ADHD, which begins with in-depth clinical interview.
2
Report Writing
I create a full diagnostic report that includes your diagnosis, treatment recommendations, testing results, plus any recommended formal academic or workplace accomodations.
3
Debrief Meeting
We schedule a 1 hour debrief to review your report, and provide 'next step" recommendations for medications, accomodations, and other possible treatment options designed for your unique brain. This meeting is usuall scheduled 3-7 days after your initial diagnostic evalaution and testing meeting.
Frequetly Asked Questions
How much does your ADHD testing cost? You can expect to pay between $1,457.50 - $1,855.00 for everything. I charge an hourly rate ($265) and most evaluations require between 5.5 and 7 hours of investment from the psychologist (testing procedures, reviewing data, report writing, and feedback meeting). Please read the example superbill (below) to see how the charges break down. We want to be fully transparent with our pricing, and we never want you to get into a situation where you don't know exactly what to expect ahead of time.
Can I Use My Health Insurance to Cover the Costs of ADHD Testing? Hopefully. It all depends on your health insurance plan. Please contact your health insurance to see if you would receive any reimbursement if you submit a claim for ADHD testing. Usually the best way to verify your benefits is to call the number on the back of your insurance card and ask a representative questions that we recommend.
What questions should I ask my health insurance? (1) Is ADHD assessment covered in my plan? (2) If so, are there any steps I need to take in order for it to be covered (pre-authorization, referral from primary care physician, etc.)? (3) Do I need to meet my yearly deductible before an ADHD assessment is covered? (If so, can you please explain to me how my deductible works?) (4) How much would be covered if I do the assessment at Northfield Dynamic Therapy, which would be considered "out-of-network"? Note -the example superbill (below) has all the information your insurance company might want to know. (5) If ADHD assessment is not covered, will it still count toward my deductible if I submit a documentation of payment?
Do you prescribe medication for ADHD? No, our practice does not prescribe medications. You will need to schedule an appointment with a professional that prescribes medication. Ideally, this would be someone that understands ADHD. We can provide you a list of local providers that are well versed ADHD treatment.
Do you do autism assessments? Yes! For adults ages 18+ who are wanting/needing a formal diagnosis. Most adults can determine for themselves if they are autistic, but sometimes your university, employer, or other organization needs you to have a diagnosis from a professional. Our assessment process will help you understand if you are autistic, and will also help you better understand your unique strengths and struggles. We include an autism screening tool in all of our ADHD evaluations because ADHD and autism are so highly correlated. After seeing the results of your autism screen, you are given the choice if you want to continue with the autism assessment or not. If you are interested in understanding more about the connection between autism and ADHD, you can geek out and read this 2018 article that will give you a 'deep dive" summary. If you'd rather have a synposis, here is a quote from the article, "An estimated 30 to 80 percent of children with autism also meet the criteria for ADHD and, conversely, 20 to 50 percent of children with ADHD for autism. Given the size of the overlap, scientists are beginning to rethink the relationship between the two conditions and to look for common biological roots."

Are your assessments VIRTUAL or IN-PERSON? Both! A majority of people choose to do the entire assessment process online. However, if you happen to live in Minnesota and want to come to our office in Downtown Northfield, we can do that assessment in person.

About Me
Sure I have some fancy titles (PhD, Licensed Psychologist, Certified Group Psychotherapist), but most of my education on neurodiversity (ADHD, autism, learning differences) has come through my own journey being diagnosed with ADHD as an adult... leading to me connecting with some of the best ADHD specialists from around the globe. My primary clinical passion in recent years has been diagnostic evaluations for adults. It is thrilling to help people (like you) better understand your unique brain, and the strengths and challenges that come with the way your central nervous system is built.
Outside of my clinical world, I invest a lot of time and energy into my spouse and kids (we have four udner the age of 12). I actually enjoy jogging (if I don't go too fast) and am lucky if I a run in 3 times a week. I also love recording music and doing live gigs with our little family band. The rest of my time is usually spent binging a new netflix show, or working on meditation (which typically means surrending to sleep or simply enjoyment of sitting still and releasing the pressure to have to be productive).
