Psychological Assessments

Explores: ADHD, autism, mental health and wellness, personality, executive functioning and sensory profiles 

Our in-depth neurodiversity-affirming assessments aim to help you make sense of your life experiences through the lens of neurodivergence, while establishing whether you meet criteria for a diagnosis of autism, ADHD and/or related conditions. We will also assessess for the presence of co-occuring mental health conditions such as mood disorders, OCD, anxiety disorders, trauma-related conditions and other diagnoses as part of this comprehensive neurodiversity assessment. 

Because neurodivergence is complex and many individuals have overlapping experiences consistent with more than one conditions, we prefer to assess for these together, rather than looking for one diagnosis in isolation.

Those who may not want a full assessments but who would like to explore the likelihood that their profile might be consistent with ADHD and/or autism may like to consider a screening. These are offered by our skilled psychotherapists, who were specially trained and mentored by Dr. Melodie. Screening includes questionnaires and interviews, and is priced at a rate of $220 per hour. 

A targeted assessment that aims to answer a specific question or clarify a specific diagnosis. For example, professionals like social workers, psychotherapists or family physicians may refer a person for a targeted psychological assessment if they suspect the person might have a specific disorder that impacts their treatment plan. Individuals may also seek this type of assessment if they would like a second opinion on a diagnosis they received from another professional or if they suspect they meet criteria for a particular condition. 

Targeted assessments are priced on an hourly basis at $300 per hour of work, including face-to-face interviewing and testing time, scoring and interpretation of tests and questionnaires, and report- or letter-writing. This is to ensure that cost is proportional to the complexity of the assessment. In other words, this pricing structures allows me to ensure that you only pay for the number of hours actually required to complete the assessment.
