ADHD & Autism Evaluations
for Adults in Washington & Oregon (Telehealth)

Yes. I specialize exclusively in assessment for adults. I do not provide child, adolescent, or school-based evaluations.

Yes. Evaluations are typically conducted virtually, which works well for most adults. In-person evaluations may be considered when clinically appropriate or requested and are available only to clients located in Washington State, as in-person sessions are held in Tacoma or Seattle, WA.

Most clients spend 3–6 hours total in live sessions, depending on evaluation type and add-ons.

No. Your involvement focuses mainly on interviews, questionnaires, and feedback. Cognitive testing and other additional performance based measures are added as needed or if requested, and will be discussed ahead of time in the initial intake process.

Feedback sessions are typically scheduled within 3–4 weeks after all assessment components and questionnaires are completed.

If you have a specific deadline (e.g., for medication access or accommodations), please let me know during intake so we can discuss feasibility.

Not necessarily. An evaluation is a clinical process, not a guarantee of a specific diagnosis. Some individuals meet full criteria for ADHD or autism, while others may have overlapping traits, subthreshold presentations, or patterns better explained by other factors.

Regardless of outcome, the goal is to provide a clear, thoughtful understanding of what is (and is not) driving your experiences, along with practical recommendations for next steps.

Many adults seeking evaluation have complex histories that include trauma, anxiety, depression, burnout, or chronic stress. Part of the evaluation process involves carefully considering how these factors interact with, or differ from, neurodevelopmental patterns.

No. Evaluations are not intended to replace ongoing therapy or other treatment. Many clients continue working with their existing therapist, prescriber, or care team after the evaluation.

The goal is to provide clarity and a shared framework that can support and deepen ongoing work with your current providers and treatment plan.

Yes. Evaluations can support access to medication, workplace or academic accommodations, and other forms of documentation when clinically appropriate. Reports are written with clarity and care so they are useful to prescribing providers, employers, schools, or other systems when needed.

Documentation needs are discussed during intake so expectations are clear from the start.

Payment is structured in stages to allow clarity and transparency before moving forward.

After the initial intake session — where we discuss your history, goals, and determine the most appropriate evaluation type — a $500 deposit is required to proceed with scheduling testing and assessment components. This deposit is applied toward the total evaluation fee.

The remaining balance is due prior to the feedback session and release of results. Reports, diagnostic conclusions, and formal feedback are not provided until payment is completed in full.

If you have questions about payment timing or options, including CareCredit, we’ll review those during intake so expectations are clear from the beginning.

Evaluation services are offered on a private-pay basis. I do not accept insurance for evaluations.

Some clients choose to seek partial reimbursement through out-of-network benefits, and I’m happy to provide documentation upon request, though reimbursement is not guaranteed.

Here are a couple of ways to better understand if and how much your insurance plan will help cover the testing.

1. You can call the customer service number at the back of your insurance card.

2. Use this service to get the most out of your out-of-network benefits:

For clients for whom paying the full fee upfront would be a financial barrier, I also offer CareCredit, a healthcare financing program that allows eligible clients to pay over time. You can learn more at: https://www.carecredit.com

No. Observer input from a parent, partner, or other trusted person can be helpful in some cases, but it is not required.

Many adults pursuing evaluation do not have access to childhood informants, and evaluations can be completed using interviews, self-report measures, and other clinical information. Optional observer input is discussed during intake when it may add value.
