ADHD, Autism & 'AuDHD' Evaluations
Online Evaluations for Adults in PSYPACT states
You can look like you're functioning well and still be working incredibly hard to hold it all together.
Many of the adults I evaluate and work with have spent years finding ways to compensate, mask, and push through. They may be successful at work, manage a household, maintain relationships, or appear to be doing just fine from the outside.
​
Internally, it can be a very different story. Maintaining it all has come at a significant cost.
Maybe keeping up requires enormous effort. Maybe the strategies that used to work aren't working anymore. Or maybe you've reached a point where you're exhausted, burned out, and wondering why things that seem easier for other people take so much out of you.
​
I specialize in evaluating adults, including women and high-masking adults, whose ADHD or autistic traits may have been overlooked precisely because they've become so good at compensating for them.
The question isn't only how well you're functioning. It's what that functioning is costing you.
What is ADHD?
ADHD (Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder) is a form of neurodivergence that affects attention, focus, and executive functioning. It can create challenges with organization, follow-through, and regulation, but also brings unique strengths such as creativity, energy, and innovation.
Why Seek an ADHD Evaluation?
Adult ADHD doesn't always look like obvious disorganization or an inability to function. Years of structure, perfectionism, overpreparing, urgency, and other compensatory strategies can make ADHD much less visible from the outside.
​
An evaluation can help clarify whether ADHD is part of the picture and why certain areas of life may require so much effort to manage.
My ADHD evaluations are designed specifically for adults and use an evidence-based, telehealth-appropriate approach that prioritizes clarity, nuance, and real-world application.

What is Autism?
Autism is a form of neurodivergence that can shape how a person experiences and interacts with the world, including communication, relationships, sensory processing, routines, and interests. While autism can come with challenges navigating environments that don't fit your needs, it can also bring unique strengths such as deep focus, creativity, pattern recognition, authenticity, and a rich inner world.
​
Could autism explain experiences you've spent years adapting to or hiding?​
Autism can be missed in adults, particularly women and people who have learned to mask, script, analyze social situations, suppress needs, or structure their lives around avoiding overwhelm.
​
My evaluations consider not only what other people see, but your internal experience and the strategies you've developed to navigate the world.

What is 'AuDHD'?
AuDHD is a term used to describe the experience of being both autistic and having ADHD. Together, these forms of neurodivergence can interact in unique, and sometimes seemingly contradictory, ways, such as craving structure while struggling to maintain it, or seeking novelty while also needing predictability. AuDHD can bring challenges with executive functioning, sensory regulation, and burnout, as well as strengths such as creativity, deep focus, curiosity, and innovative thinking.​
​
What if you see yourself in both?
ADHD and autism frequently overlap, and having both can create a presentation that doesn't neatly resemble either one on its own.
​
A combined evaluation looks at ADHD and autism together, including the ways traits may interact, compensate for one another, or create seemingly contradictory needs and experiences.

An evaluation designed to see the whole picture
Especially with high-masking adults, no single questionnaire or test tells the whole story. My evaluations integrate multiple sources of information rather than relying on one score or measure. We look at your current experiences, developmental history, patterns across different areas of your life, masking and compensatory strategies, and other factors that may overlap with or affect neurodivergence.
​
I use a therapeutic assessment framework, meaning the evaluation itself is designed to be informative, collaborative, and supportive. I aim to make the evaluation process itself meaningful and supportive, offering opportunities for insight and self-understanding along the way, not just answers at the end.
That distinction matters. Someone can appear highly capable while devoting an extraordinary amount of energy to maintaining that level of functioning. My goal is to understand not just whether you can do something, but what it takes for you to do it.
You'll leave with more than a test result
An evaluation should give you something useful to take forward. You'll receive a comprehensive written report that brings the different pieces together and explains what I found in clear language. When a diagnosis is appropriate, the report includes it, but confirming a particular diagnosis is never the predetermined goal. Clarity is.
Your report also includes individualized recommendations and, when appropriate, accommodations based on your specific needs and circumstances. We'll then meet for a dedicated feedback session to review the findings together. You'll have space to process what the results mean, ask questions, and talk through where you go from here.
You don't have to figure it out before you get here.
You may be fairly certain you're ADHD. You may suspect autism. You may identify strongly with AuDHD. Or you may simply know that the amount of effort it takes to keep functioning no longer feels sustainable. You don't need to choose the right diagnosis before reaching out.

What Happens After an Evaluation?
Your evaluation includes a 50 minute feedback session so we can review the findings and recommendations together. But sometimes different questions emerge after you've had time to digest everything. Maybe you've read your report three times and now you're wondering:
-
Okay, which recommendations should I actually start with?
-
What does this mean for my relationship?
-
How should I structure work differently?
-
What sensory accommodations would actually help me?
-
How do I stop compensating in ways that are burning me out?
That's why I offer an optional:
Evaluation Integration Session
​
This is a focused post-evaluation consultation available after you've had time to process your results. You don't have to decide the day of your feedback session if this is something you're interested in. I encourage you to review the report, take the time to process and then reach out if you would like additional integration/processing.
​
Rather than repeating feedback, we'll focus on putting what you've learned into practice, prioritizing recommendations, troubleshooting barriers, discussing accommodations and supports, and answering questions that emerge once you've had time to live with the findings.
​
An Integration Session is not a commitment to ongoing therapy. Some people won't need one at all. Others find that having one more focused conversation a few weeks after the evaluation helps bridge the gap between understanding themselves differently and actually doing something differently. The session is billed at my 50 minute therapy rate of $300.
Insurance and Reimbursement
I am an out-of-network provider and do not bill insurance directly. However, many clients are able to receive partial reimbursement for evaluations through their out-of-network benefits. To make this process easier, you are welcome to use the Reimbursify app directly from my client portal to submit your superbill to your insurance provider. Upon request, I provide a Superbill at the end of the evaluation process.
​
I partner with Reimbursify to make this process easier!
