If you have always felt a little different and never quite known why, you are not alone. Our licensed psychologists provide comprehensive adult ADHD and autism assessments, so you can finally understand your own mind.
Maybe you have always sensed you were wired a little differently. You may have built elaborate systems just to keep up, felt exhausted by social situations that seem effortless for others, or been called lazy or too sensitive when you were actually working incredibly hard just to function. For many adults, that quiet struggle has gone unnamed for decades.
Many neurodivergent adults were never identified as children, especially those who are bright, who learned to mask, or who grew up before ADHD and autism were well understood in anyone outside a narrow stereotype. Girls and women in particular were frequently overlooked, and often still are.
An assessment is not about labeling yourself. It is about finally understanding yourself. So much of what felt like personal failure often turns out to be a brain that simply works differently, and that understanding can be genuinely life-changing.
Whatever the results, you deserve clarity and self-compassion. An assessment can replace years of self-blame with understanding, and open the door to support that actually fits how you are wired.
What an assessment can clarify
Not broken. Often, what felt like personal failure is simply a brain that works differently. An assessment turns self-blame into self-understanding.
Adult ADHD and autism present differently than in children, and generic screens often miss them. Our psychologists use validated, adult-appropriate measures alongside a thorough life history, and screen for overlapping concerns like anxiety and depression, so your assessment is accurate and genuinely useful.
We begin with a thorough history across your lifespan: school, work, relationships, and the patterns you have noticed, because adult neurodivergence is best understood in context.
Using validated measures designed for adults, we assess attention, executive functioning, and social and sensory patterns, and screen for anxiety, mood, and other look-alikes.
We review the findings together in plain language, honoring your strengths and making sense of the experiences that brought you here, without judgment.
You receive a comprehensive report with clear findings and practical recommendations for support, strategies, and workplace or academic accommodations.
An adult neurodiversity assessment is a comprehensive psychological evaluation that examines whether your lifelong patterns of attention, focus, social interaction, and sensory experience are consistent with ADHD, autism, or both. It combines a detailed life history with validated, adult-appropriate measures to reach an accurate understanding of how your mind works.
This matters because neurodivergence looks different in adults than in children, and different again depending on gender and how much someone has learned to mask. Many bright, capable adults were never identified growing up, and generic or child-focused screens frequently miss them. A thorough adult assessment is designed to catch what those miss.
Above all, an assessment is strengths-aware, not just diagnostic. It maps what comes naturally to you and what is genuinely harder, so any recommendations fit the whole person.
If you are only now asking these questions, you are far from alone. There are real reasons neurodivergence goes unrecognized well into adulthood.
The process includes an in-depth life-history interview, adult-appropriate standardized testing, and a compassionate feedback session, followed by a comprehensive written report. We screen for co-occurring anxiety, depression, and other factors, since these often accompany, and sometimes mask, adult neurodivergence.
The results can be genuinely transformative. Beyond documentation for workplace or academic accommodations, many adults describe the assessment as the moment their whole life story reframes, from a series of personal failures into an understandable, workable difference. We provide adult neurodiversity assessments at our Fort Lauderdale, Coral Springs, and Plantation offices.
It is never too late to understand yourself. For many adults, an assessment is the moment a lifetime of experiences finally starts to make sense.

Jamie Ratowski is an awesome therapist in the Bayview plantation office. Highly recommend her for any issues with relationships, anxiety, or depression issues. The office is really nice, feels very welcoming. I also won’t complain about the comfortable furniture.
Sara Speed is a gem and a unicorn of a therapist. Not only is she brilliant at what she does, she is amazing at cultivating relationships, truly cares and fosters a real safe space. She really knows how to get into the core of difficult traumas and start unraveling them. The best!!
Very welcoming space and a comfortable environment. Highly recommend Jessica Califf. She is a caring, empathetic and skilled therapist.
Great experience here! The facility is beautiful and Dr. Halle Roebuck made me feel right at home. I would highly recommend!
I want to thank Sara Speed. She is EMDR certified and incredibly kind. I would recommend her if you want someone who genuinely cares about your wellbeing.
Dr. Kate was the best therapist I've ever had. She was professional, compassionate, and caring. She helped me to resolve my core issues and I learned to process them without getting stuck on them. For the first time in many years, I no longer struggle with depression. Her solution-oriented approach really worked for me and it helped me to save my marriage.
We are so impressed with the changes our daughter has made. She has been able to face her issues, find healthier ways to express emotion, and is feeling better and back to herself again. She learned how to take her power back and to find love and acceptance for herself. Thank you for helping us move forward from this difficult situation.

You helped to guide me in the right direction while I was going through a personal crisis. You helped me find a way to resurrect my life. The words thank you hardly seem enough.
Words cannot express how grateful I am to you. When I first started, I was depressed, anxious, helpless, and hopeless. I worked hard and I have come so far. I have learned to accept, respect, forgive, and love myself. I have learned so many tools, resources, and skills that I will carry with me and use throughout my life. I now want to live and am looking forward to my future. My self-confidence, self-esteem, and self-worth are the highest they have ever been. I was blessed to find you as a therapist.
My experience working with Dr. Kate was really a life saver. I definitely was at a breaking point and she helped me process my thoughts, my past and how to move forward with my future. It was so helpful to have someone listen, provide empathy and know that the information shared was confidential. She was so welcoming and provided wonderful tools that helped me process thoughts and situations. I found so much comfort seeking therapy in an office that was pleasant and inviting. I always felt a weight lifted when leaving. I feel so blessed to have found Dr. Kate in a crucial time in our marriage. Thank you for all of your assistance to me, my husband and our relationship.
I’ve had a great experience at the Plantation office. The space is calm, welcoming, and very comfortable for clients. The team is highly collaborative, with many talented therapists working together to support a wide range of needs.
Our therapist for our 9 year old daughter was excellent! Extremely professional and great with kids. She was attentive to our concerns. We went for 3 months and achieved all of our goals. I highly recommend them.
