ADHD SPECIALIST
Michael Garfinkel, RCSW #14519
Registered Clinical Social Worker & ADHD Psychotherapist
Michael brings over a decade of clinical experience, along with lived experience with ADHD, to every assessment. By combining professional expertise with a practical, real-world perspective, he offers evaluations that are as rigorous as they are grounded.
He specializes in identifying the subtle patterns of adult ADHD that are often overlooked in traditional settings. His goal isn’t just to provide a label; it’s to help you translate a lifetime of “not adding up” into a clear, actionable roadmap for how your specific brain works.
Trusted by BC clinicians
“As an RMT, having ADHD Insight in my referral network is invaluable for clients seeking clarity around neurodiversity. They provide accurate diagnosis and practice next steps, making them a trusted partner in patient care.”
“I’m mindful about where I refer. The process feels thorough and well-grounded, and clients come back with a clear understanding of what’s been affecting their focus and daily functioning”
“I’ve had clients come back with a real sense of relief. They feel less self-judgement and begin to understand patterns around attention, overwhelm, and follow-through in a way that finally makes sense.”
“What stands out to me is how usable the report is. It clearly outlines attention and executive functioning patterns, which helps me move forward with care in a more confident way”
“In years of peer consultation with Michael, I’ve seen his ability to grasp and articulate complex issues with clarity. Through deep listening and precise insight, he helps illuminate areas that once felt unclear.”
Frequently asked questions
Yes. This is a formal clinical evaluation conducted by a BC-Registered Clinical Social Worker (RCSW). We use gold-standard diagnostic tools, including the DIVA-5 (Diagnostic Interview for ADHD in Adults) and CAARS-2 rating scales. This is a professional medical document, not a “quick online screening.”
Yes. Our reports are specifically designed to meet the clinical standards required by BC Family Physicians and Nurse Practitioners for medication management and treatment planning. By providing a rigorous, multi-page diagnostic report, we give your primary care provider the documentation they need to move forward with your care confidently.
Yes. The final report includes a formal diagnosis (if indicated) and a detailed Functional Impact Assessment. These are the specific clinical markers required by University Accessibility Centers and Workplace HR departments to approve academic supports or professional accommodations.
You will receive your secure, digital diagnostic report within 48 hours of your clinical interview, provided all intake forms and observer scales have been completed.
No. As a private clinical service, no referral is required. You can self-refer and book your assessment directly online to bypass the typical 6–12 month wait times in the public system.
The total fee is a flat rate of $400 CAD. This includes:
Pre-interview clinical screening and intake
The 30 minute virtual clinical interview
Standardized ADHD testing and scoring
A comprehensive, personalized diagnostic report with clear next steps
Note: Many extended health plans in BC (e.g., Sunlife, Pacific Blue Cross, Canada Life) cover services provided by a Registered Clinical Social Worker (RCSW). We recommend checking your specific plan for “Social Work” coverage details.
The goal of this process is clarity. If ADHD is not indicated, your report will focus on differential diagnosis. We will help you and your GP understand if your challenges with focus and overwhelm are better explained by factors like chronic burnout, anxiety, or sleep patterns — ensuring you still leave with a roadmap for support.
