Our Approach at Harbour Therapy

At Harbour Therapy, our neuropsychologist offers adult ADHD assessments designed to provide clarity, understanding, and practical next steps. Whether you are seeking answers for yourself, or a loved one, our goal is to deliver an assessment process that is respectful, thorough, and supportive.

 

We believe assessments should feel:

• Respectful and collaborative

• Trauma‑informed and neurodiversity‑affirming

• Focused on strengths as well as challenges

 

Our neuropsychologist will aim to provide clarity without judgment and recommendations that are practical and realistic for everyday life.

 

What Is ADHD?

Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) can affect attention, organization, impulse control, identity and emotional regulation. ADHD can present differently across the lifespan and may look different in children, adolescents, and adults.

 

Common difficulties may include:

• Trouble with focus, organization, or time management

• Forgetfulness or difficulty following through on tasks

• Feeling overwhelmed by daily responsibilities

• Academic, workplace, or relationship challenges

• Restlessness, impulsivity, or emotional reactivity

 

Why Get an ADHD Assessment?

An ADHD assessment can:

• Provide a clear explanation for ongoing challenges

• Help guide appropriate supports at university, work, or home

• Support accommodations (school, CEGEP, university, or workplace)

• Inform conversations with your physician about treatment options

• Reduce self‑blame and improve self‑understanding

• Offer personalized strategies and recommendations

 

Who Are ADHD Assessments For?

Our assessments may be appropriate for:

• University students (18 years old and over) or adults struggling with organization, focus, or burnout

• Individuals who suspect ADHD but were never assessed earlier in life

• Those seeking documentation for accommodations or medical follow‑up
