Our ADHD evaluations provide a comprehensive assessment of attention, executive functioning, impulsivity, organization, time management, emotional regulation, and other areas commonly affected by ADHD.
Evaluations may include the CAARS, Brown Executive Function/Attention Scales, clinical interviewing, developmental and symptom history, and other standardized measures when indicated.
A Continuous Performance Test (CPT) may also be added when additional objective assessment of sustained attention, response inhibition, or attentional consistency would be clinically helpful.
Following testing, clients receive diagnostic clarification, a personalized feedback session, and recommendations that may include therapy, executive-function strategies, workplace or academic accommodations, and consultation with medical providers when appropriate.
-
Our adult autism evaluations are designed for individuals who may have spent years wondering whether their experiences could be better understood through an autism-spectrum lens.
The evaluation explores areas such as social communication, sensory experiences, routines and patterns, emotional regulation, developmental history, relationships, and masking or camouflaging behaviors that may make autism less obvious in adulthood.
Depending on clinical need, the evaluation may include standardized autism measures, masking/camouflaging assessments, clinical interviewing, and review of DSM-5-TR diagnostic criteria.
Following the evaluation, clients receive diagnostic clarification and individualized recommendations. Even when someone presents with autistic traits but does not meet full diagnostic criteria, we provide feedback and recommendations based on the patterns identified during testing.
May be helpful for adults who:
Have always felt “different” socially but never understood why
Experience significant sensory sensitivities or overstimulation
Mask or rehearse social interactions
Feel exhausted after socializing
Have difficulty with change, transitions, or uncertainty
Have previously been diagnosed with anxiety, ADHD, or other conditions but still feel something is missing
Want greater self-understanding, accommodations, or treatment recommendations
-
Because ADHD and autism can overlap in areas such as executive functioning, sensory processing, emotional regulation, social experiences, and burnout, some clients benefit from being evaluated for both conditions at the same time.
A combined evaluation allows us to look at the full clinical picture rather than evaluating symptoms in isolation. Testing is individualized and may include measures of attention, executive functioning, autism-related traits, masking/camouflaging, developmental history, and DSM-5-TR diagnostic criteria.
Clients receive diagnostic clarification, individualized recommendations, and guidance regarding appropriate supports and next steps.
-
Sometimes clarity changes everything. Our evaluation services are designed to help you better understand how you think, work, relate, and move through the world. Each evaluation is individualized and may include standardized assessment measures, clinical interviewing, diagnostic clarification, personalized recommendations, and a feedback session to help you understand your results and next steps.

For many individuals, the companionship of an emotional support animal can play an important role in managing symptoms of anxiety, depression, PTSD, and other qualifying mental health conditions.
Our Emotional Support Animal (ESA) evaluations include a comprehensive clinical assessment to determine whether an ESA is clinically appropriate based on your mental health needs. If clinically indicated, appropriate documentation will be provided in accordance with current professional standards.
Please note that an ESA evaluation does not guarantee approval or documentation. Recommendations are made solely based on clinical judgment and medical necessity.
-
Our personality assessments are designed for individuals who want a deeper understanding of their emotional patterns, personality structure, relationships, coping strategies, and overall psychological functioning.

Emotional functioning
Anxiety and mood patterns
Interpersonal relationships
Self-concept
Stress responses
Coping styles
Behavioral patterns
Personality characteristics
Areas of strength and vulnerability
The goal is not to place someone into a box, but to provide meaningful information that can support therapy, personal growth, treatment planning, and greater self-understanding.

How do I know which evaluation I need?
Our consultation process helps determine which evaluation is most appropriate for your needs before moving forward with testing.
Are evaluations available virtually?
Some consultation services may be completed through secure telehealth. Certain evaluations require in person appointments to ensure the most accurate assessment.
Do you prescribe medication?
No. We do not prescribe medication. Our evaluations are designed to provide diagnostic clarification and treatment recommendations that may be shared with your healthcare providers if appropriate.
Can evaluations be used for school or workplace accommodations?
Depending on the type of evaluation completed, documentation may support accommodation requests. Requirements vary by institution, and clients are encouraged to verify documentation requirements with their school or employer before scheduling.
How much do evaluations cost?
Evaluation fees vary depending on the type and complexity of the assessment. During your consultation, we'll recommend the evaluation that best fits your needs and review all fees before services begin.
Does insurance cover psychological evaluations?
Our psychological and diagnostic evaluations are offered on a private-pay basis, and we do not bill insurance for these services.
Evaluations involve significantly more than the time spent in the appointment itself. Fees reflect the use of specialized psychological testing instruments, clinical interviewing, scoring and interpretation, diagnostic formulation, report preparation, individualized recommendations, and the feedback process.
Keeping evaluations private pay also allows our psychologists greater flexibility to select the assessments that are most clinically appropriate for each individual rather than limiting the evaluation based on an insurance company’s requirements.
For some clients, private-pay testing may also provide an added level of privacy, as a claim and diagnosis are not being submitted to an insurance company as part of the evaluation process.
Our goal is to provide a thorough, personalized evaluation focused on clarity, understanding, and meaningful recommendations not simply a diagnosis.
