Come for the AD/HD answers. Leave knowing things about your brain you didn't even know there were things to know.
​
Ever wonder why you can remember the lyrics to a song from 2003 but can't remember why you walked into the kitchen?
​
Your brain is a fascinating place. Sometimes a confusing one. And sometimes, frankly, its management could use a little help.
​
At Murray Center for Behavioral Wellness, we offer straightforward AD/HD testing for children, teens, and adults. It's not as complicated or time intensive as a full neuropsychological evaluation but provides you the answers you need to understand why you keep walking in a room and forgetting why you're there. While figuring out whether you have AD/HD is an important part of this process, you might be surprised by how much else you can learn from this testing.
​
What Can AD/HD Testing Tell You?
Think of it as getting a behind-the-scenes look at how your brain works.
Depending on your needs, testing may explore:
​

  • 🧠 IQ & Intellectual Abilities: How you reason, solve problems, and process information.

​

  • 🎯 Attention & Concentration: How well you focus, sustain attention, and manage distractions.

​

  • 📋 Executive Functioning: Your brain's management department, responsible for planning, organizing, managing time, and getting things done. Sometimes management is doing great. Sometimes nobody seems to be in charge.

​

  • 💭 Working Memory: Your ability to hold information in mind long enough to use it.

​

  • ⚡ Processing Speed: How efficiently you take in and work with information.

​
Together with your history and clinical information, these findings help us understand your unique strengths, challenges, and whether AD/HD or something else may be contributing to your difficulties.
​
How Long Does Testing Take?
Good news. You won't need to pack a suitcase.
The testing appointment for AD/HD typically takes a couple of hours, depending on your age and individual needs.
​
You'll complete activities involving problem-solving, memory, attention, and other thinking skills. No studying required. No grades. And absolutely no expectation that you'll be good at everything.
​
Afterward, we'll review your results and explain what they mean in language that doesn't require a psychology degree to understand.
​
Answers Are Great. Knowing What to Do With Them Is Even Better.
​
Testing isn't just about getting a diagnosis. It's about figuring out what actually helps.
​
Your results can guide an individualized treatment plan, and at Murray Center, we offer several ways to take the next step:
​

  • Medication Management:  Explore whether AD/HD medication may be appropriate, with guidance from our prescribing professionals.

​

  • Six-Session Executive Functioning Workshop:  Learn practical strategies for organization, time management, planning, task initiation, and follow-through. Because "just use a planner" has clearly solved everything.

​

  • Individual Therapy:  Address emotional regulation, frustration, motivation, and other challenges that can accompany AD/HD.

​

​
Already have a therapist or another provider? Great! You don't have to receive treatment with us. Your evaluation findings can help guide care wherever you choose.
​
What If It Isn't AD/HD?
Then we've still learned something important.
Anxiety, learning difficulties, sleep problems, and other factors can sometimes look like AD/HD. Our goal isn't to find a diagnosis just for the sake of finding one. It's to understand what's happening and identify useful next steps.
​
Curious About Your Brain? We Are Too.
​
Whether you're 8, 18, or 58, understanding how your brain works can be surprisingly empowering.
​
And you might finally understand why some things come so easily while others feel like they require a committee meeting, three reminders, and a minor emergency. Click here for childhood and adult AD/HD symtpoms!
