Please note that these are diagnostic clinical interviews, which are different than neuropsychological testing.
Diagnostic clinical interviews, while thorough and an excellent tool for diagnosis, are not as comprehensive as neuropsychological testing. Many entities will accept a diagnosis via this method, but you should still confirm this before scheduling your appointment.
A full neuropsychological evaluation is encouraged if you have several issues, like medical conditions, learning disabilities, etc. that are co-occurring and would necessitate more comprehensive tools for diagnosis.
Clinician:
Emily Oliver, LCSW (she/her)
Emily is the owner of Inner Lakes Therapy, and conducts our in-house diagnostic clinical interviews for ADHD and Autism. Emily is neurodivergent herself, and an LCSW-level therapist who specializes in the intersections between neurodiversity, complex trauma, and the experiences of historically marginalized populations (such as women, LGBTQIA+ individuals, and BIPOC) within an affirming, social-justice oriented framework. Emily is also the author of the ADHD & Autism Unmasking Workbook.
Emily’s presence is warm, validating, and grounding, and she prioritizes making you feel seen and understood, and providing a non-judgmental space.
Please note that Emily specializes in these areas for individuals over 17 years of age.
We will be exploring the option of adding other clinicians to provide this service to expand access to children/teens in the near future.
