Does any of this sound familiar?

ADD is common and easy to miss, because it doesn't always look the way people expect. If a few of these hit home, you're in the right place.

You've been called scattered, too sensitive, or lazy your whole life, and somewhere along the way you started to believe it.

You can lock onto something you love for hours, but starting a load of laundry feels impossible.

You were told it was anxiety or depression. You treated it, and something still felt off.

You have been treated for anxiety, stress, burnout, or depression, but still feel like something is being overlooked.

You keep it together all day at work, then get home running on empty and feel like you're falling short.

Sticky notes, alarms, reminders for your reminders. You keep up, but it's wearing you out.

If you saw yourself a few times up there, it's worth getting checked out.

What the process looks like

A closer look at our evaluation process

Our evaluations go well beyond a quick questionnaire. Here's what's actually involved — and why each part matters for getting you accurate, useful answers.

01 — Clinical interview

We start by actually listening

The evaluation begins with a structured clinical interview — a real conversation about what you're experiencing, where it shows up, and how long it's been going on. This isn't a checkbox exercise. Your provider is building a full picture of how attention and focus challenges play out in your day-to-day life across different settings.

02 — Standardized testing

Gold-standard assessment tools

We use validated, widely-recognized rating scales and symptom inventories to measure attention, impulsivity, executive functioning, and more. These tools are designed to detect patterns that casual observation misses, and they give us objective data to back up the clinical picture — which matters when you need documentation for work, school, or accommodations.

Validated rating scales Executive functioning Objective data

03 — History review

Context makes all the difference

ADHD doesn't start in adulthood — it just gets noticed later. We look at your developmental history, school records if available, and patterns going back to childhood. We also screen for conditions that commonly overlap with ADHD, like anxiety and depression, so nothing gets missed or misattributed.

04 — Results & next steps

Clear answers before you leave

At the end of your evaluation, your provider walks you through what they found in plain language — no jargon, no waiting weeks to find out. You'll receive a written report you can use with your employer, school, or treatment team, along with a clear plan for what comes next, whether that's treatment with us or a referral elsewhere.

What we do

What we help with

From your first evaluation to ongoing care, you're working with licensed providers who understand your experience first hand.

ADD & ADHD assessment

A full evaluation and a clear diagnosis, using proven tools and a real eye for the more subtle ways ADD shows up.

Medication management

Ongoing, thoughtful medication support with a licensed provider, including how your hormones can change what works and when.

Anxiety & depression

Anxiety and depression love to travel with ADD, and sometimes disguise it. We treat the whole picture, not one piece at a time.

Personalized treatment plans

A plan that fits your goals and your real life, mixing medication, practical skills, and support that works the way you do.

How it works

Getting started is simple

From your first call to follow-ups, you'll always know what's next. No referral, no runaround.

    Meet your provider

    You'll sit down with a licensed provider for a full evaluation that's tuned to how ADD symptoms present.

  3. 03

    We go through what we found together, in plain English. For a lot of people, this is the part where it all comes together.

  4. 04

    We build a plan around your goals and talk through every option, medication included, so you know the benefits and the trade-offs going in.

  5. 05

    Check in and adjust

    We keep tabs on how it's going and tweak things as your life, your symptoms, and yes, your hormones change.

When it all comes together

The part where it gets easier.

Once you've got the right diagnosis and a plan that fits, things start to loosen up. Not a turbo-charged, hyper-productive you. Just more room to breathe and more energy for the stuff you care about.

  • Finishing what you start, without beating yourself up about it.

  • Focus you can point where you want, not just when a deadline is on fire.

  • A calmer head, with fewer mental tabs open at once.

  • Energy left over, because you're not spending it all on keeping up.

  • Trusting yourself again, instead of wondering what's wrong with you.

The stuff people ask

Questions we get a lot

The things people ask us most before booking. If yours isn't here, just call.

Can I be diagnosed with ADD as an adult?

Yes, and it happens all the time. Plenty of people don't find out until their 30s, 40s, or later — often after years of being told it was something else. Getting answers later in life isn't a setback. For most people it's a huge relief.

I was told before I don't have ADD. Should I get checked again?

It might be worth a second look. Older evaluations often leaned on criteria built around hyperactive children, so they missed the calmer, more inattentive presentation that's common in adults. A fresh assessment using current tools can give you a much clearer picture.

Will ADD treatment mess with my anxiety or depression meds?

That's something we look at carefully. Your provider goes over everything you're taking and your full health history before suggesting anything, and we treat ADD right alongside any anxiety or depression instead of in a silo.

Do I need a referral?

Nope. You can book straight with us — no referral needed — and we usually have same-week and weekend openings.

What does the evaluation actually involve?

Our evaluations use gold-standard assessment tools — clinical interviews, standardized rating scales, and a review of your history across different settings. It's thorough enough to give you real answers, and we walk you through everything we found before you leave.

Does telehealth work as well as coming in?

For lots of people, yes. We offer both in-person and secure online visits across Idaho, so you can pick whatever fits your schedule and switch whenever you want.

What happens at the first visit?

You'll meet a licensed provider who listens to your story and starts a full evaluation. From there we go over what we found, answer your questions, and map out a plan together. No rushing.

How much does it cost, and do you take insurance?

New patients get $150 off the first visit, and we take a number of major insurers. For the specifics on coverage or payment plans, give us a call at (208) 408-2989 and we'll walk you through it.
