Why Choose Us for Your Assessment?
Diagnosed with ADHD as an adult, Hilary understands how complex, overwhelming and nuanced the process can be. Hilary specializes in working with adults and high-masking folks. Our approach is:
Neurodivergent-Affirming: Hilary values and respects the diverse ways your brain works. This is a safe space to explore without fear of judgment - here, you are not a checklist of symptoms, you are a whole person with unique experiences.
LGBTQIA+ Affirming: Your identity matters. Hilary’s approach is inclusive, supportive, and welcoming of all identities.
Individualized and Insight-Driven: Hilary focuses on understanding your lived experiences and insights—because you’re the expert on your own life.
What to Expect
Hilary takes a collaborative and personalized approach to assessments. Here’s how it works:
Comprehensive Evaluations: The assessment process is thorough, ensuring that we capture the full picture of your strengths, challenges, and needs. From there, we’ll work on recommendations that help get you closer to your goals.
Tailored Recommendations: Whether it’s understanding yourself better, advocating for accommodations, or accessing support, you will leave with practical support tailored to your specific needs and goals.
Respect for Your Journey: Whether you’re seeking clarity about yourself, addressing long-standing questions, or seeking accommodations, Hilary is here to support you with empathy and understanding.
Authenticity: Throughout the assessment process you can show up exactly as you are—no need to mask.

Option 1
Neurodivergence Screener
Curious if you might be neurodivergent, but not ready to commit to the full CCA process? Our neurodivergence screener is a great option. The screener is a quick, collaborative process designed to help explore your experiences. If you decide to schedule the full CCA, the screener counts toward the total cost.
Together we’ll review your history, experiences, and traits, comparing them with established clinical diagnostic criteria. This option is ideal for individuals who suspect they may be Autistic/ADHD/AuDHD but want a more accessible first step before committing to a CCA. The goal is to provide validation, understanding, and practical next steps, whether that means moving forward with a full evaluation or exploring other forms of support.
