ADHD & AuDHD Evaluations for Portland, Oregon
Comprehensive ADHD and AuDHD testing for Portland metro adults, by telehealth or just across the Columbia River in Vancouver, WA
ADHD Testing for Portland Metro Adults
Getting a thorough ADHD evaluation in Portland can be surprisingly difficult. Most primary care providers offer only brief screenings, specialist waitlists are long, and many clinics focus on children rather than adults. Haven Health offers an accessible alternative just across the Interstate Bridge in Vancouver, WA, with comprehensive evaluations designed specifically for adults who suspect they may have ADHD.
Our evaluation goes far beyond a simple questionnaire. Dr. Lana Ferris or Dr. Martha Keith conducts a detailed clinical interview, administers standardized testing instruments validated for adults, and carefully differentiates ADHD from conditions that can look similar, such as anxiety, depression, sleep disorders, and trauma responses. The result is a thorough report with a clear diagnosis and actionable recommendations, including specific medication guidance you can take to your Portland-area prescriber.
Many Portland adults first realize they might have ADHD after a partner, friend, or their own child receives a diagnosis. Others arrive after years of therapy that helped with anxiety or depression but never addressed the underlying attention and executive function challenges. If any of this sounds familiar, our evaluation can provide the missing piece of the puzzle. Telehealth appointments are available, so you don't have to cross the river for every visit.
What Your ADHD Evaluation Includes
Our evaluation process is designed to be thorough without being overwhelming. Here is what you can expect when you visit us from Portland.
In-Depth Clinical Interview
We discuss your life history, daily challenges, work experiences, relationships, and coping strategies. We trace patterns back to childhood, even if your ADHD was never identified during school years.
Validated Testing Instruments
We administer standardized assessment tools designed for adults that measure attention, working memory, processing speed, and executive function across multiple domains.
Differential Diagnosis
We assess for co-occurring conditions and look-alikes, including anxiety, depression, autism, PTSD, and sleep disorders. Many Portland adults have received partial diagnoses that missed the ADHD component entirely.
Detailed Report and Feedback
You receive a comprehensive written report with your diagnosis, personalized strategies, and specific medication recommendations. We review everything together in a dedicated feedback session.
Who We Serve in the Portland Metro
We welcome clients from throughout the Portland area, including North Portland, the Pearl District, Alberta Arts, Hawthorne, Division, Sellwood, Beaverton, Tigard, Lake Oswego, Milwaukie, Gresham, and Oregon City. Our practice focuses on the adults most often missed by traditional ADHD assessments.
High-Achieving Adults
Many adults with ADHD have compensated through intelligence, anxiety-driven hypervigilance, or sheer effort. Portland's tech, creative, and healthcare industries are filled with undiagnosed adults who have built impressive careers while privately struggling. We understand this presentation.
Women and Queer Folks
Women with ADHD are dramatically underdiagnosed. The "daydreamy" inattentive type, emotional sensitivity, and internalized criticism that characterize ADHD in many women are commonly mistaken for anxiety or personality traits. Our evaluation captures these nuances.
Adults Exploring AuDHD
ADHD and autism often co-occur. If you suspect both may be part of your neurotype, our comprehensive autism assessment evaluates both. Understanding the interplay between ADHD and autism leads to better-targeted support. Learn about AuDHD assessments.
