Diagnostic Assessment & Evaluation
Offering diagnostic assessments and evaluations for:
-
ADHD
-
Anxiety & Anxiety Disorders
-
Autism Spectrum
-
Depression & Mood Disorders
-
Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD)
-
Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
Learning or confirming that there is a valid explanation for why certain things pose greater challenges for you specifically can be a great relief.
With this information, you can focus your efforts on targeted solutions to improve your life. Many have found that the diagnosis itself can lead to increased self-awareness, self-compassion, healing and growth.
I aim to present diagnostic categories in a way that removes stigma and negative self-concept. A mental health diagnosis can be useful information and a tool in a process of healing and transformation.
