Affordable ADHD Testing in St. Louis | Enlitens
Our ADHD Testing Cost: $250
We get it,
let's talk.
My Experience Speaks for Me.
I’ve been a Board-Certified Counselor for over four years, with a Master’s in Clinical Counseling from Webster University. My work has been all about understanding the brain, especially within the neurodiverse community. Right now, I’m taking it even further by pursuing a doctorate in Behavioral Neuroscience.
But let’s get real—degrees are only part of the story. With nearly 14 years of hands-on experience, combined with my own neurodiverse lived experience, I’ve gained a deep understanding of what truly helps. I began my mental health journey supporting kids and families in the Autistic community, both one-on-one and in group settings. That’s where I discovered my passion for helping people embrace their uniqueness, rather than trying to fit into neurotypical molds.
This led me to career counseling, focusing on empowering Autistic individuals to thrive in their professional lives. As I transitioned into my role as a therapist, my focus remained on neurodiversity and trauma. During the height of COVID-19, I worked in ERs, providing crisis support across diverse populations, including those in neurodiverse communities. I don’t just know the theory—I’ve lived it.
If you’re looking for someone who understands, who’s been there, and who’s ready to help you move forward, I’m here. Together, we can make the changes that truly matter to you.

Our Personalize Approach to ADHD Testing
At Enlitens Counseling in St. Louis, I know that no two people experience ADHD the same way. That’s why the ADHD testing I offer is all about you. There’s no one-size-fits-all approach here—we dive deep into understanding your strengths, your challenges, and how ADHD uniquely shows up in your life. My goal is simple: to give you accurate insights and personalized support, tailored just for you.
How We Tailor ADHD Testing for You
We use a mix of evidence-based tools to give you a comprehensive picture of your ADHD profile. Here’s a breakdown of the tools I use and how they help us understand your unique experience:
-
- Brown EF/A Scales: This tool gives us a peek into your executive functioning, like your ability to organize, focus, and manage emotions. It helps us see how ADHD impacts your daily life—from work to relationships. Learn more here.
-
- Connors Rating Scales: This is where we get perspectives from multiple angles. Whether it’s input from you, parents, teachers, or others in your life, the Connors Rating Scales help us see how ADHD affects you across different settings, like work, school, or home.
-
- Vanderbilt ADHD Rating Scales: This scale takes it a step further, helping us assess how ADHD impacts your social life, school performance, and work. It’s about seeing the full picture and understanding how ADHD influences different aspects of your world.
-
- Adult ADHD Clinical Diagnostic Scale (ACDS): This tool is designed specifically for adults. Through a structured interview, we identify ADHD traits in grown-ups and make sure the support we offer matches your life stage.
- Wender Utah Rating Scale (WURS): This one looks at your childhood, helping us spot early signs of ADHD. It’s especially useful if you’re seeking a retrospective diagnosis as an adult. Check out the research behind why it’s so effective.
Why Our Approach Matters
Testing isn’t just about gathering data—it’s about getting the right answers and creating a plan that makes sense for your life. Here’s why my personalized approach to ADHD testing makes a difference:
-
- Accurate Diagnosis: By using multiple assessment tools, we create a thorough profile of your ADHD experience, reducing the chances of missing important details. The result? A diagnosis you can trust.
-
- Tailored Recommendations: Since no two people are the same, your treatment shouldn’t be either. After testing, I provide customized recommendations based on your specific needs, whether that includes therapy, medication, or other resources.
- Empowerment and Self-Advocacy: Understanding your ADHD profile is key to advocating for yourself at work, school, or in relationships. It’s all about empowering you to make informed choices and live your life confidently.
At Enlitens Counseling, ADHD testing isn’t just about finding answers—it’s about helping you feel understood and giving you the tools you need to thrive. Curious to learn more about our approach? You can dive into research on how ADHD assessments work or explore multi-source assessments.

Whether it’s figuring out accommodations for work or school, managing a new diagnosis, or even re-examining past misdiagnoses, I’ve got your back every step of the way.
How I Continue to Support You After Your Diagnosis
So, what happens after you’ve received your ADHD diagnosis? Here’s how we’ll continue to work together as you navigate life with ADHD:
-

Whether you’re starting college, a new job, or just navigating life, I’ll help you build strategies that work for you.
-
- Re-examining Misdiagnoses in Girls: ADHD is often misdiagnosed or missed entirely in girls, with many receiving labels like Autism instead. If you’ve been through this, we’ll work together to re-evaluate your diagnosis so you can finally get the right support for your needs and experiences.
-
- Practical Strategies for Thriving with ADHD: An ADHD diagnosis isn’t a stopping point—it’s a stepping stone. We’ll work on strategies tailored to your lifestyle, whether it’s finding focus at work, creating study routines, or simply managing your time in a way that feels less stressful. ADHD isn’t a barrier—it’s just a different way of thinking, and I’m here to help you embrace it.
