ADHD: When to Seek an Assessment
Many people live with undiagnosed ADHD. A structured assessment brings clarity and a path forward.
Read articleWe provide comprehensive ADHD assessments through our Nurse Practitioner with a focus in ADHD care. Every assessment is individualized and includes clinical evaluation alongside validated tools where appropriate.

For our rehabilitation services, direct insurance billing may be available depending on your provider and plan. If direct billing is unavailable, we will provide the appropriate receipt to submit to your insurer.
If you have ever sat at midnight wondering whether ADHD explains the missed deadlines, the restless mind, the drawer full of unfinished projects - you deserve an answer sooner than the public system can give one. Psychiatrist-led assessment is OHIP-covered, but waits commonly run a year or longer. AuraWell offers a private, clinically rigorous alternative you can book this week.
Assessments are led by our Nurse Practitioner with a dedicated focus in ADHD care, exclusively by secure video anywhere in Ontario.
This is a thorough clinical evaluation, not a questionnaire mill. Expect a detailed review of your history from childhood to now, structured diagnostic interviewing, validated screening instruments aligned with Canadian ADHD practice guidelines, screening for conditions that mimic or accompany ADHD such as anxiety, depression and sleep disorders, and a clear conversation about what your results mean.
You leave with a written diagnostic report suitable for your records, your school or your employer, and a personalized treatment plan - whether or not that plan includes medication.
Many assessment services hand you a report and a goodbye. Because AuraWell is a medical clinic, our NP can move straight from diagnosis to care: starting and adjusting medication where appropriate, monitoring how you respond, coordinating therapy through our psychotherapy team, and reviewing sleep, mood and lifestyle factors that shape attention.
One clinic, one record, one team that already knows your story - that continuity is where treatment starts to feel less like paperwork and more like momentum.
