Adult + Child ADHD Testing In Virginia

With Expand Psychology’s Expert Assessment Team

For 21 years, ADHD testing and psychological assessment have been a cornerstone of our practice.

With 30+ hours of labor devoted to each assessment, our testing provides clear answers, tangible recommendations, and actionable next steps. 

Are you or your child struggling with focus and inattention at work or school? Do you get feedback that you or your child would thrive if you “just tried a little harder” or “applied yourself a little more.” Have you tried therapy but still don’t have clarity or traction towards a better future? 

Clients come to us when they feel stuck. They have symptoms that may show up at work, school, or in relationships. Their struggles may impact their self esteem. Clients come to us after years of uncertainty, wondering whether their executive functioning struggles may be ADHD. They may wonder too if its instead anxiety or other mental health struggles preventing them from finding joy.

What ADHD Testing With Us Looks Like

Gold standard tools we use:

We are a group of specialists who focus deeply on assessment work. 

ADHD testing is not a quick checklist for us. It is a comprehensive clinical process designed to understand how your attentional systems, executive functioning, emotions, and daily life all connect.

In addition to 30 hours of clinical work, every case is also reviewed collaboratively by our internal team. We also include outside expert consultation to strengthen diagnostic accuracy.

  • Measures attention and behavior patterns across settings

  • Objective computerized evaluation of sustained attention and impulse control

  • Looks at real-life organization, planning, and follow-through

  • Connects cognitive patterns to learning and daily functioning

“We also look at how symptoms show up across home, school, work, friendships, family life, and relationships to capture a full picture, not just a snapshot.”

Full Assessment Breakdown

All our assessments are considered comprehensive from start to finish. We look into every area that can help provide clear answers and actionable recommendations.

Once you commit to testing:

  • You meet for a 1.5-hour intake session to review history and goals

  • We design a personalized testing plan before sessions begin

  • Continued consultation support is available after testing, including school collaboration and provider coordination

Assessment

We aren’t limited by insurance restrictions, which allows us to explore what’s actually needed rather than what insurance will allow you to bill for.

Every evaluation is comprehensive and individualized.
