It takes 4 to 5 appointments to accurately assess and diagnose ADHD. The average cost is approximately $1150, which most insurance companies cover.
Elsewhere, ADHD assessments widely vary from $1400 to $3000. Or a doctor may only do a brief screening and rating scale to make their diagnosis. Our comprehensive approach is not to diagnose you or your child after a brief conversation and then recommend a medication and send you on your way. After the diagnosis evaluation, we will work with you to explore the various natural alternative approaches and work in coordination with coaches, medical health professionals, and educational specialists, to make sure you are fully supported in your journey.
