Adult ADHD evaluation in Colorado
ADHD Evaluation in Denver & Colorado
Get a focused adult ADHD evaluation that reviews attention, executive-function concerns, history, current functioning, and the documentation you may need for next steps.
Evaluation for attention, focus, and executive-function concerns
Adult ADHD can be easy to miss when someone has spent years compensating with stress, reminders, late-night work, or last-minute pressure. An evaluation helps organize those patterns instead of reducing them to a quick checklist.
CATC reviews attention, organization, time management, follow-through, impulsivity, restlessness, developmental history, current responsibilities, and how symptoms affect work, school, relationships, finances, home tasks, and daily routines.
The goal is clinical clarity. Your evaluation may help determine whether ADHD fits, whether anxiety, depression, trauma, sleep problems, or life stress are also part of the picture, and what practical recommendations make sense.
If you have paperwork from a school, employer, provider, court, or referral source, bring it to intake. The evaluator can review what is being requested, what CATC can reasonably document, and whether any deadlines affect scheduling.
CATC serves adults in Denver, Northern Colorado, and eligible telehealth clients across Colorado. Colorado Medicaid, United Healthcare, Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield, and self-pay by credit card are accepted.
An ADHD evaluation may be appropriate when
- Attention, follow-through, or organization concerns are affecting work, school, home responsibilities, money management, or relationships.
- You have a long history of distractibility, restlessness, procrastination, forgetfulness, losing items, or finishing tasks only under pressure.
- You need written findings, recommendations, or accommodation-related documentation for work, school, a provider, or another referral source.
- Symptoms overlap with anxiety, depression, trauma history, sleep disruption, or major life demands and you need a clearer clinical picture.
- You were never evaluated earlier in life and now adult responsibilities are making attention patterns harder to manage.
- You need practical next-step recommendations instead of guessing what kind of support would help.
- A prior screening raised questions and you need a more complete review of history and current functioning.
What to expect from the evaluation
Intake and referral details
David A. Yingling, LPC helps route your request and gather the reason for evaluation, timeline, insurance or payment information, and any paperwork you already have.
Clinical interview
Your clinician reviews current attention concerns, developmental history, school and work patterns, daily functioning, stressors, mood, anxiety, sleep, trauma history, and relevant life context.
Assessment tools and records
Questionnaires, symptom measures, outside records, prior evaluations, school records, or collateral information may be reviewed when clinically appropriate and with written consent.
Clinical formulation
The clinician considers whether the pattern fits ADHD, whether another concern better explains the symptoms, or whether multiple concerns are affecting functioning at the same time.
Written findings and recommendations
When clinically appropriate, the evaluation may include written findings, practical recommendations, documentation, and next-step care planning.
