Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if I need a psychological evaluation?

Psychological evaluations are often recommended when individuals are experiencing ongoing difficulties related to attention, learning, emotional functioning, or workplace concerns. These assessments help clarify diagnoses and guide treatment recommendations.

How long does psychological testing take?

Most comprehensive evaluations involve a clinical interview, several hours of testing, and review of background information. After testing is completed, a detailed written report with findings and recommendations is provided.

Do you offer ADHD testing for adults?

Yes. The Psy Center provides ADHD evaluations for children, adolescents, and adults. These assessments typically include a clinical interview, standardized testing, and a review of developmental, educational, and occupational history to help clarify whether attention difficulties are consistent with ADHD or may be related to other factors such as stress, anxiety, sleep concerns, or learning differences.

Many adults begin to recognize possible ADHD symptoms after their child has been diagnosed. Parents sometimes notice lifelong patterns of difficulty with attention, organization, time management, or task completion that were never formally evaluated earlier in life. An adult ADHD evaluation can help clarify whether these experiences are consistent with ADHD and provide recommendations that support work, daily functioning, and overall well-being.

Adult ADHD evaluations can be especially helpful for individuals seeking clarity about lifelong attention difficulties or who are exploring treatment options such as therapy, coaching, or consultation with medical providers.

Do you offer telehealth therapy in Washington State?

Yes. The Psy Center provides both in-person services in Seattle and telehealth therapy for clients throughout Washington State.
