Hi! Hey! Hello! My name is Amy/Dr. E, and I am a neurodivergent psychologist with 10 years of experience providing assessment services for those seeking clarity and confirmation of their mental health concerns. As a late-diagnosed ADHDer (didn’t have anyone suggest it until I was 6 months shy of finishing my doctoral work!), I’m passionate about ensuring that folks seeking a formal evaluation get a comprehensive approach that validates lived experiences.

I started my journey in mental health as a school psychologist, working with vulnerable students and their families to help them gain access to special education services and community supports to promote the greatest possible level of independence as they developed from preschoolers into young adults. After doing this work for the better part of a decade, I went back to get my doctoral degree and made the transition to private practice, expanding my skills to the full life spectrum, now working with individuals aged 3 to 93 (so far!), for diagnoses from Autism and ADHD to personality disorders and dementia concerns.

Because accurate assessment is important to me, I also supervise students working on their various mental health degree programs for assessment services, and I’m also happy to provide formal supervision to professionals looking to add to their skills!

I’m in-network with BCBS PPO plans, provide out-of-network superbills for other insurance plans, and I also offer a limited number of sliding scale and pro-bono assessments each quarter to help improve access/break down barriers to getting a quality assessment!

Approach to Therapy

As a late-diagnosed neurodivergent practitiner, It’s important at to me that your assessment not JUST have a diagnosis as the outcome — but that those who work with me walk away with clarity, resources in their community/local area, and a plan for their continued care. A diagnosis/assessment shouldn’t be the “end” of your journey— it’s the jumping off point to reframing and understanding yourself, the way you interact with the world, and have support for advocating for your needs post-evaluation with others in your life! In my assessment work, I pull from my own experiences and those of the many folks I've worked with in the last 10 years to get at all of the "nitty gritty" details, especially about the "how" you have managed/survived up to the time you walk into my office (literally and virtually) to better understand your coping mechanisms, compensatory skills, and struggles for getting through day-to-day life.
