ADHD Evaluation in Lexington, 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 Lexington, Massachusetts, from our office in Lexington and through secure telehealth. Many Lexington families juggle demanding school schedules and professional careers along the Route 128 corridor, so we keep weekday hours from 7 AM and Saturday morning appointments.
Adhd evaluation for Lexington patients: who it helps
People from Lexington 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 Lexington
Do you have an office in Lexington?
Yes. Our office is at 35 Bedford Street #17 in Lexington Center. Telehealth is also available for patients located in Massachusetts 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 Lexington?
In many cases, yes. Lexington 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.
