In-person assessment for adults · Washington, DC

Adult psychological assessment.

I offer targeted ADHD assessments and assessments of general emotional functioning for adults. All assessments take place in person at my office in Dupont Circle, Washington, DC.

An assessment begins with a question: something you want to understand more clearly about your attention, emotional life, or the difficulties you have been experiencing.

Targeted ADHD assessment

ADHD assessment: a closer look at attention and daily life.

You may be wondering about difficulties with concentration, organization, follow-through, or managing the demands of everyday life. A targeted ADHD assessment provides a focused way to explore these concerns.

The questions you bring guide the assessment. We will discuss your current difficulties and relevant history, and whether the scope of this service fits what you are hoping to understand.

General emotional functioning

Understanding your emotional life.

Sometimes the question is broader: why certain feelings are difficult to manage, why familiar struggles keep returning, or how emotional patterns affect your sense of self and relationships.

An assessment of general emotional functioning focuses on understanding your emotional experiences and the ways you respond to challenges. Areas we may explore include mood, anxiety, coping, and relationships, depending on the questions that bring you to the assessment.

Beginning with your questions

A thoughtful starting point.

A free 15-minute phone consultation is a chance to discuss what you are seeking, whether an assessment may be appropriate, and which service may fit your concerns.

Before scheduling, we will discuss the scope, process, fees, and what you can expect from the assessment. If you are seeking documentation for a specific purpose, please mention that during the consultation so we can discuss whether this service can meet that need.

Assessments are for adults and are conducted in person at 1350 Connecticut Ave. NW, Suite 605, Washington, DC 20036.
