Consultation for Self-Diagnosis of Adult ADHD and Autism

This informal consultation is intended for individuals who suspect they may be autistic and/or ADHD and are seeking exploratory understanding and self-diagnosis confirmation. You will receive enough education and support to help you feel confident with your own self-diagnosis and be able to explain it to others. A consultation does not result in any formal diagnosis and therefore will not show up in your medical records. A consultation will also not provide any direct documentation for requests for accommodations, additional support or medication. In lieu of a clinical report, thoughts and impressions of neurodivergence (traits of autism and/or ADHD), and a personalized list of recommended resources will be offered in a one page letter that confirms or disconfirms self-diagnosis. If you are seeking an evaluation for a formal ADHD or autism diagnosis, please visit ASSESSMENT page.

Consultation process (held in-person or online):
Step 1: Initial consultation to explain the process and assess needs (30 min)
Step 2: Completion of online Self-Assessments (RAADS-R, AQ, ASRS-5, CAT-Q, MQ) (40 min)
Step 3: Clinical Interview (2.5 to 3.5 hours)
Step 4: Feedback session along with a 1-2 page letter and personalized list of resources/referrals (1 hour)

Complete cost: $2,000

INDIVIDUAL NEURODIVERGENT CONSULTATIONS

I offer 1:1 hour-long consultations for:

1) Individuals diagnosed or self-realized ADHD or autistic who want assistance integrating their new diagnosis or self-identity. This is different from therapy in that a consultation is educational in nature. Because neurodivergent presentation is different for everyone, we will look at your particular profile, strengths and current challenges, and ways to best support your neurology. A consultation can include discussions around:

Sensory systems and sensory triggers
Time management
Daily routines and habits
Reducing stress and overwhelm
Energy management
Burnout
Emotion regulation
Rejection Sensitivity Dysphoria
Social connectedness
Managing co-occuring chronic health conditions
Managing work environments
Advocating for accommodations
Additional intersecting identities and neurotypes (giftedness, trauma)
And more….

2) Therapists seeking assistance working with neurodivergent clients. Please note that I offer consultation and not supervision. With consultation, you, as the treating clinician, maintain full clinical responsibility for the services you deliver your clients.
