Got ADHD or Autism? It's Complicated...

The Story of You

We are made to tell stories, especially our own. When we have undiagnosed autism or adhd our stories are often filled with shame and confusion. Why does our life feel harder than other people’s? Why are things such a struggle? What is wrong with me? Are questions we often ask in our internal narrative. When we uncover a diagnosis things begin to make sense. We make sense. We begin to see our story with a new narrative of self-compassion and radical acceptance for our vulnerabilities, pride in our strengths, and hope with new supports life doesn’t have to be this hard.

What Sets Us Apart?

Targeted

Not everyone needs a full neuropsychological evaluation. Russell Barkley, Phd says, “Neuropsychological Testing is NOT useful for ADHD.” At Courageous Steps Counseling we assess for ADHD, autism, with a differential diagnosis for learning disorders, social/emotional issues, and cognition.

Experiential

 At Courageous Steps Counseling we are licensed therapists providing a unique personal experience to find the hidden truths in your story. It is tailored to your presenting needs with no unnecessary testing. We have fewer clients and can spend more time evaluating each client thoroughly.

Accessible & Inclusive

We offer culturally responsive, and neurodiversity affirming care. A lot of factors can contribute to a diagnosis. At Courageous Steps Counseling we carefully consider the cultural influences, potential language barriers, and gender fluidity that neurodiverse people bring to the table without pathologizing.

You won't Leave Empty Handed

After your targeted ADHD and/or Autism evaluation you will receive a written report and follow up session explaining the results with a robust list of appropriate services. Having an evaluation is an investment and no one should walk away without tools and resources no matter what the diagnosis. At Courageous Steps Counseling we make sure you walk away with clear next steps.
