Neuropsychological Evaluations for Adults
ADHD & autism evaluations for adults in Boston and Massachusetts that help you understand your brain, get clear answers, and walk away with a roadmap for what comes next.
If you’ve ever wondered, “Why is life harder for me than everyone else?” you’re not alone. Many bright, creative adults still struggle with focus, follow-through, social connections, or feeling “different” without knowing why.
If this sounds familiar, a comprehensive neuropsychological evaluation can help you make sense of your experiences and finally understand what works for your brain.

Step 3: Testing Session (3-4 hours): Cognitive, executive functioning, attention, and social-communication assessments completed virtually

Investment & Payment Structure
The total fee for a comprehensive neuropsychological evaluation is $3,950
I understand this is a meaningful financial commitment. This fee reflects the time-intensive nature of the evaluation, including multiple clinical hours, test administration, scoring and interpretation, and a comprehensive written report tailored specifically to you. Rates are consistent with private-pay neuropsychological evaluations in the Boston area.
Many adults seek an evaluation after years of confusion, self-doubt, or feeling misunderstood. This process is designed to provide answers you can trust, and guidance that actually fits how your brain works.
To make this more manageable, I offer a three-payment plan, if desired:
📆 Payment 1: At the intake session
📆 Payment 2: At the testing session
📆 Payment 3: At the feedback session
Many clients are also able use HSA/FSA funds toward the total investment.
What Makes This Different?
✔ You’re not just getting a diagnosis, you’re getting a roadmap.
✔ I specialize in adult ADHD and autism assessments and regularly work with clients who have been misdiagnosed, dismissed, or overlooked in the past.
✔ My evaluations go beyond labels to help you understand your results and actually use them in daily life.
✔ I use a neurodiversity-affirming, trauma-informed approach grounded in psychological science. I often work with clients who are creative, sensitive, intelligent, and struggling, not because they’re broken, but because the world isn’t always built for the way their brains work.
If you’ve tried to push through, self-diagnosed through social media, or felt dismissed by previous providers, this space is for you.

⚡ What Is ADHD in Adults?
ADHD (Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder) is a neurodevelopmental difference that affects attention, energy, task initiation, and executive functioning. Many adults reach an ADHD evaluation later in life because their strengths masked symptoms when they were younger. ADHD isn’t about being lazy or careless. It’s about having a brain that works differently, often in ways the world isn’t built to support.
What are common ADHD experiences in adults?
→ Trouble starting or finishing tasks—even ones you care about
→ Feeling easily distracted, forgetful, or “mentally scattered”
→ Hyperfocus on things you love, and burnout from everything else
→ Struggles with time (being late, losing track, or “time blindness”)
→ Frequent overwhelm, emotional intensity, or sensitivity to rejection
→ Difficulty staying organized, managing to-do lists, or following through
→ Feeling like you’re always playing catch-up, even when you're trying hard
How can getting an evaluation for ADHD help?
→ Give you answers to lifelong questions
→ Help you understand how your brain actually works
→ Provide tools, strategies, and support that fit you
→ Reduce shame and increase self-trust
Many adults with ADHD are high-achieving, creative, and deeply self-aware. You may have found ways to mask your symptoms, push through, or overcompensate but that doesn’t mean you’re thriving. If you’ve ever thought, “Why is this so hard for me when it seems easy for everyone else?”— ADHD might be part of your story. Getting clarity is the first step toward creating a life that works with your brain, not against it.
🧩 What Is Autism in Adults?
Autism is a neurodevelopmental difference that affects how people process the world around them, including communication, social interactions, sensory input, and routines. While autism is often diagnosed in childhood, many adults, especially women and high-masking individuals, go undiagnosed for years. Autism isn’t a flaw or something to “fix.” It’s a different way of thinking, processing, and moving through the world.
What are common signs of Autism in adults?
→ Deep focus on specific interests or hobbies
→ Difficulty with small talk, unspoken social rules, or group dynamics
→ Sensory sensitivities (to sounds, lights, textures, or crowds)
→ Feeling emotionally overwhelmed or shut down under stress
→ A strong need for routines, structure, or predictability
→ Masking—hiding or copying behaviors to “fit in” socially
→ Feeling “out of sync” with peers, or like you’re always a step behind
→ Exhaustion after social interactions, even with people you like
Why get an Autism evaluation as an adult?
→ Reduce shame and self-blame
→ Help you understand your experiences through a new lens
→ Provide language to explain your needs and boundaries
→ Open the door to self-acceptance and neurodivergent-affirming support
Many autistic adults are insightful, capable, and deeply compassionate but may have spent years feeling misunderstood, misdiagnosed, or like something is “off” without knowing why. If you’ve ever felt like you’re speaking a different language than the rest of the world, you’re not alone. A formal autism evaluation can help you understand your brain, honor your needs, and move forward with clarity and compassion.
