Adult ADHD Assessments in Brantford

---

Many adults live for years feeling overwhelmed, distracted, disorganized, or constantly behind without realizing that Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) may be contributing to their challenges.

At Healing Haven Wellness Centre in Brantford, our Nurse Practitioner, Katrina Burbidge, provides comprehensive adult ADHD assessments to help individuals better understand their symptoms and determine appropriate next steps.

Whether you've always struggled with attention and organization or have noticed increasing difficulties in adulthood, an assessment can provide valuable insight and guidance.

ADHD is a neurodevelopmental condition that can affect attention, focus, organization, memory, time management, and impulse control.

While many people associate ADHD with hyperactivity in children, ADHD often presents differently in adults. Symptoms can impact work performance, relationships, daily responsibilities, and overall well-being.

Common experiences may include:

• Difficulty focusing or staying on task 
• Frequent procrastination 
• Trouble organizing responsibilities 
• Feeling overwhelmed by everyday tasks 
• Difficulty managing time 
• Forgetfulness 
• Restlessness or difficulty slowing down 
• Challenges completing projects 
• Impulsive decision-making 
• Difficulty prioritizing tasks 

Many adults report feeling frustrated, exhausted, or discouraged by these ongoing struggles.

Katrina provides a thorough assessment process designed to better understand your experiences, symptoms, and personal history.

Your assessment may include:

• Discussion of current concerns and symptoms 
• Review of medical and mental health history 
• Exploration of childhood and adult experiences 
• Standardized screening tools and questionnaires 
• Assessment of how symptoms affect daily life, work, school, and relationships 
• Discussion of findings and recommendations 

The goal is to gain a comprehensive understanding of your concerns and identify appropriate next steps.

After the assessment, Katrina will review the findings with you and discuss recommendations that may be appropriate for your situation.

Recommendations may include:

• Education about ADHD 
• Lifestyle and organizational strategies 
• Workplace or academic accommodations 
• Referrals when appropriate 
• Additional supports and resources 
• Ongoing follow-up care when clinically indicated 

Every individual's experience is unique, and recommendations are tailored to your specific needs and goals.

Many adults describe feeling relieved after gaining a better understanding of challenges they have experienced for years.

An assessment can help:

• Provide clarity and understanding 
• Identify strengths and challenges 
• Improve self-awareness 
• Support personal and professional success 
• Guide future treatment and support options 

Understanding the root of ongoing difficulties can be an important step toward creating meaningful and lasting change.

At Healing Haven Wellness Centre, we believe healthcare should be collaborative, compassionate, and personalized.

Katrina takes the time to listen to your concerns, answer questions, and ensure you feel informed throughout the assessment process. Her goal is to help you gain a clearer understanding of your experiences while providing practical guidance and support.

If you are experiencing challenges with attention, focus, organization, or task completion, an ADHD assessment may help provide clarity and direction.
