Neuroaffirming ADHD & Autism Assessments for Adults
Answers, language, and next steps — without the shame, and without having to explain or defend your culture along the way.
Why Work With Me
Your Assessment Is More Than a Checklist
At TODOS Therapy, your assessment is a space where your culture, history, and identity actually count. As a Latinx, LGBTQ-affirming, sex-worker-affirming, trauma-informed LMFT, I specialize in working with people who have been dismissed, misdiagnosed, or overlooked in traditional systems.
Instead of rushing you through a one-time appointment, you'll move through structured sessions that look at your story in context — childhood, school, work, relationships, masking, burnout, and survival strategies.
Culturally Grounded, Decolonized Lens
Your language, family dynamics, and lived experiences are part of the evaluation, not something you have to explain or defend.
Neuroaffirming, Shame-Free Process
I start from the assumption that your brain has been trying to keep you safe, not "sabotaging" you. No pathologizing your coping.
Clear, Useful Next Steps
You leave with a thorough written report, validation of what you've been feeling, and concrete recommendations for therapy, coaching, accommodations, and talking with medical providers if you choose.
Online Across California
Assessments are conducted entirely online, from wherever in California feels safest and most accessible for you.
Assessments use an anti-oppressive, tiered sliding-scale model (from Reparations to Redistribution) designed for BIPOC, queer, disabled, and marginalized folks to access care. Payment plans are available — see exact rates on the Fee Structure page.
If you've ever wondered, "Is this ADHD, Autism, or am I just failing at being an adult?" — this process is designed to give you answers, language, and options, without gaslighting or shame.

What I Can and Cannot Do as an LMFT in California
What's Included
Psychological assessment and clinical diagnosis of ADHD and/or Autism within my training and experience
Therapy and psychoeducation to understand your neurodivergence in the context of trauma, culture, money, work, and relationships
A written report you can share with your care team — primary care doctor, psychiatrist, or prescriber
Recommendations for non-medical supports: therapy, coaching, accommodations, nervous-system-friendly changes
Important Limits
I am an LMFT — a master's-level clinician, not a PhD or psychologist
I do not provide neuropsychological or neurological testing (e.g., full neuropsych batteries, IQ testing, or medical/neurological workups) — if that's what you need, I can refer you to a neuropsychologist
I do not prescribe or manage medication — decisions about ADHD medication must be made with a physician or prescribing provider
I cannot guarantee a doctor, school, employer, or agency will accept this assessment — each institution sets its own policies
I practice within my scope of competence in California, per CAMFT and APA ethics, and refer out when your needs fall outside that scope
For a more in-depth explanation of my scope of practice, limitations, and how I use assessment tools, you can also read the FAQ page.
Transparency
How I Use AI Tools and Recordings
For some assessments and ongoing therapy, I may use HIPAA-compliant tools like Umore and NovoPsych to securely record parts of a session for note-taking, and to send and score psychological screeners. I don't enter your full name — typically just initials and your email, unless you choose to share more.
You have the right to refuse these tools and skip the separate consent form — saying no won't prevent you from working with me; we'll use traditional, non-AI options instead.
