If you're questioning whether you're neurodivergent or want to better understand an Autistic or AudHD identity, my practice has immediate openings for individual therapy. Current time slots open are for 10 am on Sundays or 2 pm on Mondays. The link in my Psych Today profile allows you to request an appointment for therapy or an assessment.
As an autistic person who has had an assessment I know what it's like to pursue an evaluation to affirm an essential part of yourself. I strive to write assessments that are affirming and non-pathologizing while also ensuring criteria for a diagnosis is documented.
Email is the best method to reach me.
