Psychological Assessments
For Ages 12+
Knowing what to treat is the foundation of effective care, making assessments an essential part of every treatment plan.
Whether you are preparing for accommodations, therapy, tracking treatment progress, or seeking self-understanding - a proper assessment is the best way to get the information you need to achieve your goals.
As a full-service practice that includes therapy and coaching, our assessments are supplemented by valuable clinical perspectives which honor and support you as a complete person - not just a test result.
Our services are optimized for virtual delivery to maximize convenience and accessibility without sacrificing quality.

ADHD (EXPLORE)
ADHD is characterized by persistent patterns of inattention, and/or hyperactivity and impulsivity that interfere with daily functioning and development. People with ADHD may struggle with focusing on tasks, sitting still, controlling impulses, and organizing activities, though symptoms can vary significantly between individuals and may present differently in children versus adults.
Autism (EXPLORE)
Autism is characterized by differences in social communication, social interaction, and restricted or repetitive patterns of behavior, interests, or activities. Autistic individuals can have vastly different strengths, challenges, and support needs - making specialized clinical expertise essential for obtaining the right diagnosis.
Clinical Diagnostics (EXPLORE)
With our resources and expertise, we can diagnose a range of conditions by building custom assessments that are efficient and affordable. Overlapping symptoms, differing neurotypes, and other complexities can significantly impact your health and your treatment.
Don't leave it to chance - the best outcomes start with the clarity that an evidence-based assessment can provide.
What is a Psychological Assessment? (FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS)
A psychological assessment is a scientific process that evaluates your cognitive, emotional, and behavioral patterns to:
-
Diagnose specific conditions and/or attributes
-
Understand your unique strengths and challenges
-
Provide clarity and self-understanding
-
Create a roadmap for effective treatment
At ScienceWorks, your assessment will be a custom package designed just for you that is affordable, gentle, and convenient.
To do this, we start with a free consultation where we get to know you - then we'll combine a broad range of science-backed screeners and evidence-based interviews (such as the MIGDAS-2 for autism or the DIVA-5 for ADHD) based on your individual needs.
The result is a formal clinical perspective that provides a comprehensive view of your mental health.

The Benefits of Evidence-based Care
Clear Answers to Complex Questions
Have you been wondering if you are ADHD or autistic? After researching online, now maybe your symptoms feel like OCD? Is there trauma involved? And so on...
It's easy to see how quickly these questions can spiral into overwhelm, but there is a solution!
An evidence-based assessment cuts through the confusion with scientifically validated tools and methods to provide accurate information without fear or judgement. With an array of options available, we'll build a custom plan that fits your specific needs.
Replace uncertainty with confidence, identify the resources you need with clarity, and live better.
A Foundation for Effective Treatment
Generic approaches to mental health often fall short because they don't account for the full picture of what you're experiencing. This can result in unnecessary suffering, a traumatic misdiagnosis, and/or incorrectly prescribed medications with life-long consequences. When co-occurring conditions are involved, as they often are, these risks and consequences increase significantly.
A comprehensive mental health assessment - conducted by a specialist - can untangle the complexities of overlapping symptoms and co-occurring conditions to correctly associate the right symptoms with the right diagnosis.
With the scientific knowledge that assessment provides, you and your treatment providers will better understand how your brain works, what your specific challenges are, and what interventions are most likely to help. This contributes to faster progress, fewer risks, and improved outcomes.
Personalized Care That Fits Your Needs and Budget
Our assessments are not one-size-fits-all. We start with a confidential free consultation to understand your unique circumstances, concerns, and goals.
From there, we create a custom assessment package tailored specifically to your needs. Whether you're seeking a focused evaluation for a specific topic or a comprehensive assessment covering multiple areas, we'll design an approach that provides the insights you need within your budget.
Our flexible reporting options present your results just the way you want them - that could be for accessing accommodations, coordinating with healthcare providers, or simply better self-understanding.
Access to Accommodations and Support
A proper diagnosis has the potential to open doors that have previously been closed. Your clinical reporting can be used a resource to apply for workplace and educational accommodations, and other benefits.
Your diagnosis empowers you to find specialist care that really works. The knowledge that an assessment provides is the foundation for a support system of that offers understanding and empathy - helping you thrive.
Continuity of Care That Makes Sense
ScienceWorks is much more than an assessment provider - we're a full-service mental health practice with expertise across a broad range of conditions and neurotypes.
This increases the depth and precision of our assessments because we're trained to understand your complete diagnostic picture from both an evaluation and a treatment perspective. First, we use our clinical experience to sort out overlapping symptoms and complexities that might otherwise lead to a misdiagnosis. Then, we use that same expertise to provide resources and recommendations to help you get the most out of your assessment where it matters - in the real world.
If you are interested in therapy or coaching, there's no need to find another provider and hope that they understand your assessment results - this can lead to long wait times and knowledge gaps that adversely impact your treatment. If the results of your assessment fit with our expertise, you can transition seamlessly to additional services with the confidence that your individualized treatment plan will fully incorporate your assessment and support your goals.
Peace of Mind and Self-Understanding
The value of self-understanding can't be overstated. The emotional and physical toll of constantly wondering "What's wrong with me?" or "Why is this so hard?" is significant. Without a knowledgeable support system, it can also be isolating - which compounds the negative impact.
Whether you suspect a particular condition or feel that it is completely unknown, everyone benefits from the certainty that a thoughtful clinical diagnosis provides.
Find explanations for your experience, validation for your hardships, and the support to move forward with confidence and clarity.
The Cost of Not Knowing
If you are considering therapy or have unanswered mental health questions, an evidence-based assessment is one of the best investments you can make for your overall well-being. Our custom packages are designed with price and flexibility in mind to help you avoid the long-term consequences of not knowing:
-
Costly treatments that are ineffective (or even make things worse)
-
Missed opportunities for accommodations that could improve work or school performance
-
Ongoing stress and self-doubt about your experiences
-
Traumatic misdiagnosis
-
Incorrect medications with adverse side effects
Our assessments aren't just about providing a diagnosis. They're about combining deep clinical experience, therapeutic compassion, and scientific tools to provide the right diagnosis and the supportive resources that go with it.
Don't suffer from the biggest cost of all... lost time. Get the knowledge you need to feel your best.

Good Faith Estimate
Our clients have the right to receive a "Good Faith Estimate" regarding the cost of their care. Under the law, healthcare providers are required to provide patients and/or clients with an estimated cost of goods and services. You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency goods or services. This includes ancillary costs such as medical tests, prescription drugs, consumables, and institutional fees. Your healthcare provider should deliver a Good Faith Estimate in writing at least one business day prior to beginning paid services. If you receive a bill that is more than $400 over your Good Faith Estimate, you have the right to dispute.
For more information regarding the Good Faith Estimate, visit www.cms.gov/nosurprises or call 800-985-3059.
