Most assessment clients we see are adults or older adolescents who believe they may meet criteria for ADHD or autism. Every assessment will screen for a wide range of diagnoses, and include in-depth assessment as appropriate. Diagnoses assessed for include (but are not limited to) the following:

• Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)

• Autism spectrum disorder

• Social anxiety disorder

• Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD)

• Obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD)

• Depressive disorders

• Bipolar disorder

The assessment process is tailored to each individual and referral question, but typically consists of the following components:

• Clinical interview, history, and medical history

• Semi-structured diagnostic interviews

• Self-report measures

• Collateral interview (with a parent, therapist, partner, or close friend)

• Report of findings

• Feedback/Q&A session

We can work with individuals physically located in Washington state during the assessment services. The majority of our assessment services are offered remotely via secure video call, allowing us to work with clients anywhere in the state. For in-person services (required for some cognitive and academic testing) we have meeting space in Bothell and Mountlake Terrace (north of Seattle).

Yes, we will take you seriously. Though not all information on the internet about mental health is reliable, many people seek out assessment services because of information they have learned about diagnoses or mental health broadly through social media. Working with a licensed clinician to learn more about a particular diagnosis or your experiences can be a great next step.

We are not in-network with any insurance providers and do not bill any insurance plans directly. However, we can provide you with a superbill which may allow you to be reimbursed by your insurance company. Please contact your insurance company to ask about any mental health benefits, including out-of-network coverage and any possible limits to that coverage.
