Getting clarity on a diagnosis — whether it's ADHD, autism, or a learning disability — can be the difference between years of confusion and a real path forward. I'm Dr. Tamara Starling, a licensed psychologist providing comprehensive, in-person psychological and psychoeducational assessments for both children/teens and adults across the lifespan. My practice is assessment-focused: I don't provide ongoing therapy. I offer thorough, evidence-based evaluations that give you, your family, or your referring provider clear answers and actionable recommendations — for school accommodations, workplace support, or simply self-understanding.
I work with children, teens, and adults who suspect they might have ADHD, autism spectrum disorder, or a specific learning disability, but need a formal evaluation to know for sure and to access the right support. Assessments are conducted in person, using standardized, validated testing measures.
Many of my clients come to me confused after years of things not quite fitting — struggling in school despite trying hard, feeling different socially without knowing why, or facing performance issues at work they can't explain. My goal is to give you a clear, well-supported answer, along with a report that translates into real next steps.
