Neurodivergence Assessments
Wondering where you might fit on the neurodiversity spectrum? Totally get it. It's been a real "aha" moment for a lot of people lately with the influx of new info about how complex our brains really are.
I'm all about creating a safe, affirming, and empowering space for neurodivergent folks. As an art therapist, I bring a different kind of approach to figuring things out than, say, a psychologist. I like to get creative, look at the big picture, and really hear your story. What matters to you? What are you struggling with? I'll work with you to tailor things to what you need. If you want a diagnosis, let's do it! If you're just curious and want to explore your own flavor of neurodivergence, that's great too.
As a late-diagnosed ADHDer, I understand how important it is to be heard with kindness, to be given space to have an “atypical” story, and to be given genuine support in moving with one’s neurodivergence. I hope I can offer some of these gifts to my lovely community with this service.
Bright Iris Assessment Package
3 to 5 Sessions Total
Each session will range from 55 minutes to 85 minutes. I have availability for both virtual and in-person sessions.
General Mental Health Intake
This is aimed at gathering crucial background and honing in on any complexity. This will help guide the rest of this assessment and how to best meet your needs.
DIVA-5 and MIGDAS-2
I’ll lead us through either or both of these comprehensive assessment tools. These are both neurodiversity affirming and highly regarded in accurately diagnosing autism and ADHD.
Brief Art Therapy Experience
Not as formal, but just as important. Art can shed more light on your unique experience and offer you an opportunity to start to process any new learnings about your neurodivergent profile.
Outside Info
Depending on your circumstances, I may ask a friend or family member of yours to share their perspective. Other helpful pieces include medical records, school grades and teacher comments, as well as work evaluations and history.
Fancy Clinical Report
I will send you on your way with a comprehensive, professional report of our findings. It will be written to be shared with future professionals, though you may prefer to put it up on your fridge instead!
Wrap-Up
A closing conversation about my professional conclusions, wrapped into giving space for you to process what we learned together. I’ll also give you ample referrals and resources for you to continue building your self-understanding.
