Do you offer autism testing?

Yes. We provide comprehensive autism evaluations (including PDA), using gold-standard tools like the ADOS-2, ASRS, etc. We also identify camouflaging, or “masking,” that may be interfering with valid results, especially in females. Each assessment is personalized, neurodiversity-affirming, and strengths-based. Parents will come away with a clear understanding of strengths and areas of growth, as well as how to support and advocate for their child.

Do you offer ADHD testing?

Yes. We offer comprehensive ADHD evaluations using gold-standard tools like the CPT-3, Conners, BRIEF, NEPSY-II, etc. Each assessment is personalized, neurodiversity-affirming, and strengths-based. Parents will come away with a clear understanding of strengths and areas of growth, as well as how to support and advocate for their child.

What can I expect from a psychological evaluation?

Our evaluation process typically includes:

• Parent/caregiver intake and interviews

• Behavioral and academic observations

• Cognitive, academic, social-emotional, and executive functioning testing

• Rating scales from caregivers, teachers, and the student

• A thorough written report with recommendations

• A feedback session to explain results in clear, supportive language

• Treatment or intervention options to support the student and their team

Do you provide solutions or just recommendations?

We provide both. Our licensed providers offer therapy, consulting, and coaching grounded in well-researched practices, like CBT, ABA, positive psychology, mindfulness, and trauma-informed interventions. We support:

• Emotional regulation (e.g., having big feelings, going from 0 to 60 mph)

• Behavior (e.g., bedtime routines, morning meltdowns, accepting “no,” protesting appropriately)

• Executive functioning (e.g., being on time, planning ahead, problem-solving, turning in work)

• Anxiety (e.g., fear and anger getting in the way of being a kid)

• School functioning (e.g., attending school, sitting appropriately in class, asking for help)

• Resilience (e.g., handling setbacks, persevering)

Do you take insurance?

We are a private pay practice. This means we do not take insurance. This gives us the freedom to tailor treatments to our clients.

Each month, you will automatically receive a superbill for you to submit to your insurance if you wish to seek out-of-network reimbursement. Payment plans are available.

What is a neurodiversity-affirming approach?

We believe that a diverse world needs diverse minds.

We honor and support the unique ways our clients think, learn, and interact with the world. Rather than focusing on “fixing” behaviors or individuals, we aim to understand the positive intent, build skills, and celebrate each individual’s strengths, identity, and needs.
