We Can Help
Vista Counseling offers ADHD assessments for children, adolescents, and adults who are struggling with focus, attention, learning, impulsivity, and hyperactivity. We also offer counseling for individuals and families who are impacted by ADHD.
We understand how difficult it can be to wade through all the confusing information about ADHD.
At Vista, our staff of highly trained professionals can help you receive an accurate take on whether or not you or your child has ADHD, and what to do next.
We offer two different evaluation options:
ADHD Consultation
Our ADHD Consultation involves completing behavioral questionnaires and a telehealth interview with a psychologist to discuss your concerns. The psychologist can offer guidance on possible next steps regarding diagnosis as well as offer suggestions for accommodations in work/school and at home that may be beneficial for you. This is a consultation appointment only; no official diagnosis will be made, and no report will be written. We do not bill insurance for this consultation. This service is $300 and is self-pay only, although a payment plan can be arranged if needed. We can often schedule these appointments fairly quickly, usually within a few weeks.
Comprehensive Psychological Evaluation.
This service includes a full battery of cognitive testing, behavioral questionnaires, an interview with the psychologist, and a phone consultation with a teacher or parent. This evaluation is recommended for more complicated cases or if there are concerns of a learning disability and includes an official diagnosis and lengthy report that can be taken to the school or workplace for accommodations or to a healthcare provider for treatment or medication. Insurance may be billed for this service but coverage will depend on your specific plan. At this time, we can only accommodate a few of these appointments each month, so the wait time to schedule may be significantly longer than the above option. (Oregon Health Plan does not currently cover this service.)
