Adult Psychological Testing in Northern Virginia (Reston, VA)

Many adults who seek evaluation have spent years adapting.

They’ve developed systems.
They’ve pushed through challenges.
They’ve succeeded in many areas.

And yet, certain patterns continue to feel harder than they should.

Comprehensive adult psychological testing offers a thoughtful way to understand those patterns — with structure, accuracy, and discretion.

We assess attention regulation, executive functioning, processing speed, memory, learning differences, and mood-related factors using validated, evidence-based instruments. Results are interpreted carefully and integrated into an individualized clinical formulation.

Our goal is not to pathologize your experience. It is to help you understand it clearly.

Clients often describe a sense of quiet reassurance after evaluation — not because everything changes at once, but because the uncertainty has been replaced with grounded information.If you have long wondered why focus, organization, relationships, or emotional regulation feel more difficult than they should, psychological testing can provide clarity.

At Sage House Therapy in Reston, Virginia, we offer comprehensive adult psychological testing for individuals throughout Northern Virginia. Our evaluations help clarify ADHD, autism spectrum traits, learning differences, and diagnostic questions related to mood or anxiety. We provide thoughtful, evidence-based assessments designed to help you better understand how your brain works — and what support may be most effective.

Sage House Psychological Testing for Adults

  • ADHD Testing for Adults

    Many adults seek ADHD testing after years of struggling with procrastination, distractibility, or chronic overwhelm. Others pursue evaluation after noticing similar patterns in their children.

    Our adult ADHD evaluations assess attention, executive functioning, working memory, organization, and emotional regulation. Because ADHD symptoms can overlap with anxiety, depression, or stress, we conduct thorough testing to ensure diagnostic accuracy.

    You will receive a detailed report that may support workplace accommodations and inform therapy or medication decisions.

  • Autism Assessments For Adults

    Some adults seek autism testing later in life after recognizing long-standing social communication differences or sensory sensitivities. Autism in adults can present differently than in childhood and is often misidentified as anxiety or personality differences.

    Our adult autism evaluations assess developmental history, social functioning, behavioral patterns, and sensory processing. We provide respectful, strengths-based feedback and clear recommendations for personal, relational, or professional support.

  • Learning & Cognitive Evaluations for Adults

    We also offer cognitive and learning assessments for adults experiencing academic or workplace challenges. These evaluations assess intellectual functioning, processing speed, attention, and memory.

    Testing may clarify previously unidentified learning disabilities or executive functioning difficulties and provide documentation for workplace or educational accommodations.
