my 7-step approach to ONLINE AND IN-PERSON ADHD and autism testing IN 43 PSYPACT® STATES
I conduct comprehensive psychological testing, including ADHD testing and autism testing online in 43 PSYPACT® states and in-person in my Loveland, Colorado office. With a focus on adult and late adolescent ADHD and autism testing (clients are at least 16 years old), at the end of the process, I provide comprehensive psychological reports for my clients.
How does it work?
I take a comprehensive approach in helping you determine how your brain works and walking with you through possible next steps after your evaluations are complete. I view the results as the beginning of a new journey of self-understanding for you. As a neurodivergent psychologist myself, I understand many of the personal challenges that you face, including coming to grips with a diagnosis later in life, self-advocating, pursuing accommodations in the workplace, and more.
Here are the 7 steps included in each psychological evaluation which includes ADHD and autism testing:
Step 1. Initial Phone Call
We set up an initial 15-minute phone call to meet, see if it’s a good fit, and to answer any questions you might have.
Step 2. Intake Paperwork
I’ll email you some paperwork to complete such as basic intake information and release of information forms for collateral calls (later in the process), etc.
Step 3. Intake Interview
After you complete your Intake Paperwork (Step 2), we’ll meet online or in-person for 90 minutes to two hours to gather sufficient background information.
Step 4. Rating Scales
I’ll email you links to online rating scales to complete. You’ll spend some time on your own completing these.
Step 5. testing
In this comprehensive approach, you’ll come in person to my office for five to six hours of testing. I’ll administer a variety of assessments to explore neurodivergence (ADHD, autism, etc.), cognitive abilities, intelligence, personality, mood, and more. The hours for Step 5 are more abbreviated for online/telehealth evaluations.
Step 6. Collateral Calls + Report Writing
I’ll schedule phone calls with the friends and family you provided on your intake paperwork and finalize your comprehensive report.
Step 7. Comprehensive Report
This comprehensive report will include diagnoses, strengths, challenges, real-world impacts, and recommendations. I’ll deliver feedback to you in a 60-minute online or in-person session. I will answer questions, make any necessary edits on the rough draft of your comprehensive report, and typically, within five business days, send you a finalized report.
$2,000 to $2,750 per comprehensive report
The price range depends on the level of assessment needed. Your finalized amount will be determined during Step 1, the initial phone call and communicated to you.
The total amount due will be split into two equal payments: 50% due at the start of the process and 50% due upon completion.
Dunamis LLC does not take insurance, but is able to provide a superbill at the end of testing which you can present to your insurance provider in order to seek reimbursement.

He/Him/His
I have a National Parks obsession, I enjoy hiking 14ers (my wife calls me a mountain goat, or Bear), one of my first clients—a college student—gave me some of the best (and funniest) feedback I’ve received on my approach to therapy: “Duh,” she said, “it’s common sense.”
I enjoy psychological testing because I get to pull in the many facets of a person’s life to create a more complete picture of how their brain works. I found relief after my own experience of going through the testing process and receiving a neurodivergent diagnosis. It helped explain some of my own challenges, and gave me a better framework for understanding my strengths and the environments I needed in order to excel.
But enough about me. I want to know about you. What brought you here—to this website, to this point in life—what makes you tick, what brings you life, and how might I serve you?
