ADHD Testing in Omaha, NE

At TRUE Counseling & Psychological Services, we provide thorough and practical ADHD testing in Omaha, Nebraska, for adults who want clear answers about attention, focus, and impulsivity. Many individuals have spent years feeling frustrated with productivity, organization, or follow-through without fully understanding why. Our evaluation process is designed to identify whether ADHD is present and provide straightforward recommendations you can apply in daily life.

What Does an ADHD Evaluation Entail?

An ADHD evaluation involves two parts. The first component is an informational interview during which you will be asked to share about your childhood experiences of inattention and impulsivity-related symptoms. We will also discuss your family and developmental history, your educational experiences, your work history, your social relationships, and other general mental health symptoms. In addition, we will discuss how inattention and impulsivity-related symptoms are currently impacting you.

The second part involves taking standardized psychological questionnaires that objectively assess general mental health and ADHD symptoms. You will be asked to identify two individuals who are familiar with your childhood and/or current ADHD symptoms to complete brief standardized questionnaires about you. These components are crucial to the evaluation because they offer collateral information and “outside observations.”

How Long Will ADHD Testing Take?

The in-person ADHD evaluation typically takes 2.5 to 3 hours to complete. This allows enough time to gather a comprehensive understanding of your history and current challenges without rushing the process.

After the initial appointment, there is additional time required for scoring assessments, reviewing collateral information, and completing a detailed report. While the ADHD testing itself is completed in one session, the full process may take a few weeks depending on how quickly questionnaires are returned. This ensures your results are accurate, thorough, and clinically useful.

What Happens After ADHD Testing Is Completed?

Following the evaluation and once collateral information is returned, Dr. Lauren Holcomb will write a detailed report of the results. The report will include a diagnosis and recommendations for effective strategies in managing symptoms, if applicable. This report will be shared with the patient upon completion of final payment. If you would like to meet with Dr. Holcomb to discuss the results, this can be arranged.

Dr. Holcomb is not a prescriber of medications. Nonetheless, she is happy to coordinate care with an identified medical provider if that is a part of the recommendations.
