ADHD Evaluation in Brookline, MA
Difficulty focusing, losing track of tasks or feeling constantly restless can have many causes. A careful ADHD evaluation separates ADHD from the conditions that mimic it, so treatment targets the real problem.
Psych Boston provides ADHD evaluation for patients in Brookline, Massachusetts, from our office in Lexington and through secure telehealth. Brookline is close to Boston's medical community, and many patients here want a practice that coordinates closely with their existing doctors and therapists.
Adhd evaluation for Brookline patients: who it helps
People from Brookline come to us for ADHD evaluation for many reasons, including:
- Children whose teachers report attention or behavior concerns
- Teens struggling with organization, deadlines or grades
- Adults with chronic procrastination, disorganization or missed deadlines
- People who were diagnosed as children and want a reassessment
- Patients wondering whether anxiety, mood or sleep issues explain their focus problems
What to expect
- History and rating scales: We gather developmental, school and work history and use validated ADHD rating scales — often including input from parents, teachers or a partner.
- Clinical interview: A detailed interview explores symptoms, when they began, how they affect daily life and other possible explanations.
- Screening for related conditions: Anxiety, depression, learning differences, substance use and sleep disorders are reviewed, because they often co-occur with or mimic ADHD.
- Results and treatment options: You receive a clear explanation and options that may include behavioral strategies, school or workplace accommodations, therapy referrals and, when appropriate, medication.

Frequently asked questions about ADHD evaluation in Brookline
Do you have an office in Brookline?
Our office is in Lexington at 35 Bedford Street. Brookline patients usually reach our Lexington office in about 30 minutes via Route 9 and Route 128, or through Cambridge via Route 2. Many Brookline patients also use secure telehealth, which is available to patients located in Massachusetts at the time of the visit when clinically appropriate.
Do you evaluate adults for ADHD?
Yes. We evaluate adults as well as children and adolescents.
Will I be prescribed stimulant medication?
Only if it is clinically appropriate after a full evaluation. Stimulants are controlled medications, so they require careful screening, regular follow-up and in some cases an in-person visit.
What should I bring?
Old report cards, prior evaluations or testing, and a list of current medications are all helpful. For children, teacher feedback is valuable.
Can I get ADHD evaluation by telehealth from Brookline?
In many cases, yes. Brookline residents can often complete visits by secure video from home or work in Massachusetts. Your clinician may recommend an in-office visit in Lexington when that would be more helpful.
Is this an emergency service?
No. If you or someone you know is in crisis, call or text 988 (Suicide & Crisis Lifeline) or call 911, or go to the nearest emergency department.
