The first session is all about making sure we’re a good fit. We’ll go over what brought you to therapy, what you hope to achieve, and I’ll answer any lingering questions you have about my approach. There’s no pressure to dive into your deepest trauma right away!

1. Standardized Screeners: Once we decide to move forward, you will be sent a set of clinical screeners and questionnaires to complete at your own pace. These provide a baseline and help us focus our deep-dive conversations.

2. Clinical Interviews: We will meet for 2-3 sessions, depending on the type of assessment. These sessions are a space for us to talk through your personal history, current symptoms, and lived experience. We look beyond just diagnostic criteria to understand how your brain actually works.

3. Review and Reporting: After our meetings, I will compile the data into your final document.

   • Formal Assessments: You will receive a detailed, comprehensive diagnostic report suitable for accommodations.

   • Informal Assessments: You will receive a summary letter focusing on clinical insights and self-discovery.

4. Feedback Session: We can meet one last time to go over the findings, answer your questions, and discuss what these results mean for your next steps.

I require at least 24 hours advance notice to cancel appointments. If you notify me less than 24 hours before the appointment, you are required to pay a late cancellation fee of $50.

I do not provide couples, relationship, or family therapy at this time. I am happy to have you include a support person in a session as needed. If you are looking for a relationship therapist, let me know and I can provide trusted referrals.

A formal assessment is a comprehensive diagnostic process that includes standardized testing and a formal written report, completed across 3 sessions. This is typically what is required for workplace accommodations or school supports. An informal assessment is a collaborative, clinical discovery process focused on self-understanding and identifying your support needs, completed across 2 sessions. This does not include a formal diagnostic support but rather a personal letter with our findings.

While I am in-network with several providers for individual therapy, I am private pay only for assessments. This is why I am happy to work with you on a payment plan to decrease barriers to self-discovery. I can also provide a superbill for possible out-of-network reimbursement.

It means I don’t view ADHD or autism as something to be cured or fixed. Instead, we work with your brain’s natural wiring. Therapy might look like identifying sensory needs, navigating executive dysfunction without shame, and learning to unmask safely.

I value your feedback and safety. If you have concerns, I encourage you to bring them to me directly so we can address them. If you feel more comfortable filing a formal complain, you can contact the Texas Behavioral Health Executive Council here. If you’d like to file a consumer complaint, you can do so here through the Texas Attorney General.
