Evaluations
Our psychologists provide comprehensive diagnostic evaluations for individuals with concerns related to autism, anxiety, mood disorders, learning differences, inattention, hyperactivity, and/or cognitive difficulty. Evaluations consist of a diagnostic interview and various assessment measures to learn more about presenting concerns. Results are reviewed and conceptualized by the psychologist and then thoroughly shared with the client along with diagnoses and recommendations.
Consultations
For many neurodiverse individuals, transitioning to adulthood is a challenging and uncertain time. This adjustment can be stressful for the individual and their family. Dr. Feldman provides consultations based on fourteen years of experience working with autistic youth and their families. Consultations consist of a review of records, psychoeducation about what adulthood can look like for autistic individuals, and tailored recommendations.
Therapy
Our therapy providers use supportive interactions and various therapeutic strategies to help clients alleviate symptoms of co-occurring psychological conditions that often accompany neurodiversity. A strengths-based approach is utilized to help clients develop positive self-identity, self-compassion, and resilience.

Evaluation Process
1
Intake Session
The initial session is about 1 hour long and provides the provider with an opportunity to obtain substantial background information about the client. This information helps the provider determine the necessary assessment measures and next steps.
2
Testing Session
This session is scheduled a week or two after the initial visit and lasts about 3-4 hours for a psychological evaluation and 4-6 hours for a neuropsychological evaluation. During this meeting, the evaluator administers the necessary assessment measures to the client. Additional interviewing with the client and/or others involved may also occur.
3
Feedback Session
During this ~1 hour meeting, the provider reviews the results of the evaluation, including testing results and diagnoses, with the client/parents. The client is also provided with recommendations to help them move forward with this new information. A comprehensive report will be provided 2-3 weeks following this meeting.
