ADHD ASSESSMENT

Comprehensive ADHD Testing for Adults and Teens in Alberta

If you or your teen are struggling with attention, focus, organization, or emotional regulation, you may be wondering whether ADHD could be part of the picture. At RK Counselling, I offer comprehensive ADHD assessments for both adults and teenagers that go beyond a simple checklist—providing clarity, understanding, and tailored recommendations to support your next steps.

As a Registered Psychologist based in Red Deer, Alberta, I provide evidence-based ADHD evaluations that include formal testing, clinical interviews, and diagnostic interpretation. Assessments are available in-person and virtually, depending on your location and preference.

Who Should Consider an ADHD Assessment?

An assessment may be helpful if you or your teen are experiencing:

• Difficulty focusing, completing tasks, or following through
  Persistent forgetfulness, disorganization, or time blindness
• High distractibility or frequent mind-wandering
  Impulsivity in conversations, decisions, or behaviors
• Emotional dysregulation or mood swings
• Chronic procrastination and underperformance despite effort
• A long-standing sense of “not living up to potential”
• Struggles in school, work, or relationships due to attention issues

ADHD can look different in adults and teens—and often presents differently in women and girls. A professional assessment can help clarify whether ADHD is present and identify other possible factors contributing to your challenges.

What Happens After the Assessment?

You’ll receive a detailed written report outlining the findings and recommendations. If ADHD is diagnosed, I will provide clear next steps, including:

• Treatment options (therapy, medication referrals, coaching)
• Workplace or academic accommodations
• Strategies for managing symptoms in daily life
• Supportive resources for self-advocacy and education

I also offer ongoing therapy and support for individuals with ADHD, helping clients build tools for executive functioning, emotional regulation, and relationship management.

A Supportive and Inclusive Experience

Whether you’re a teenager struggling with school or an adult navigating ADHD for the first time, you deserve an assessment process that is respectful, compassionate, and free of judgment. I provide a safe, affirming space for all individuals, including those who identify as LGBTQ+, non-binary, or neurodivergent.
