Do you suspect ADHD but want real answers—not guesswork? I’m Dr. Carissma Hughes Valentine, LCSW-S (TX) and LISW-CP (SC), an ADHD Specialty Provider offering comprehensive adult ADHD evaluations. My assessments go beyond checklists to uncover how ADHD, anxiety, trauma, and burnout impact your daily life. You’ll receive clarity, validation, and a clear plan forward. I also provide ADHD-informed therapy to help you improve focus, follow-through, and emotional regulation.
I specialize in adult ADHD diagnostic evaluations and ADHD-informed treatment for individuals who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure why life feels harder than it should. I provide comprehensive assessments that offer clarity and concrete answers—not rushed conclusions. Beyond diagnosis, I help clients develop practical strategies for executive functioning.
If you’ve spent years feeling misunderstood, overwhelmed, or questioning your own abilities, you’re not alone—and you’re not broken. Many of my clients come to me after trying to “push through” without answers. Whether you’re seeking clarity around ADHD or support in learning how to work with your brain, you deserve understanding and effective support.
