In my practice, I often see people who face challenges but were never diagnosed because they function well on the surface and don’t seek help. I’m dedicated to providing excellent care to those with invisible disabilities, whether they’re successful professionally or not. I frequently emphasize to newly diagnosed ADHD or ASD clients and their families the legitimacy of their struggles. Personally understanding the difficulties of being a smart neurodivergent person, I’ve witnessed the harm caused by missed diagnoses and lack of treatment. I firmly believe that with the right support, individuals with ADHD and ASD can make significant positive changes.
After your initial intake appointment, we would meet for about two hours to complete a structured interview related to ADHD symptoms and computerized testing of your concentration over time. You will also fill out some rating scales and may ask friends and family to complete them too.
We start with the initial intake appointment, which covers your medical and psychiatric history and current symptoms. We would then have a series of appointments to complete tests and assessments to help us identify your strengths, challenges, and whether these align with the current diagnostic criteria for autism. Given that I am both autistic and an adult, you can rest assured the process will be respectful, neuro-affirming, and informative.
I provide consultation services for other providers, including case consultation, diagnostic evaluation, and treatment planning. After meeting with your client and completing the appropriate assessments, I will provide a focused diagnostic report, including testing outcomes and treatment recommendations. My consultation services are designed to provide guidance, expertise, and collaboration to support your practice and enhance the care you provide to your clients.

The typical follow-up appointment format, allowing sufficient time to discuss medication management, engage in psychotherapy, do pharmacogenetic testing, etc.
Brief follow up for clients who are stable on their current treatment plans and just need a focused visit to check in on treatment progress and make small adjustments as necessary.
Testing and assessment for autism and ADHD involve an initial psychiatric evaluation and a 50-minute follow up to discuss the results of the assessment and potential treatment options.
Testing and assessment appointments cost $495.
ADHD testing and assessment can usually be completed in one appointment, so the total cost before beginning treatment would be: initial psychiatric evaluation ($495) + ADHD testing appointment ($495) + diagnostic/treatment consultation ($350) or $1,340.
Autism assessment usually takes three testing appointments, so the total cost before beginning treatment would be: initial psychiatric evaluation ($495) + 3 autism testing appointments ($495 x 3) + diagnostic/treatment consultation ($350) or $2,330.
Next-day appointments often available.
