A higher standard of neuropsychological testing
with clinicians who truly care

At Hope+Wellness, we provide comprehensive neuropsychological evaluation for children, teens, and adults across the lifespan. We specialize in evaluating a wide range of concerns, including ADHD, Autism, learning disabilities, and emotional and behavioral challenges including depression or anxiety.

Our approach is personalized and compassionate, grounded in a strengths-based, neurodiversity-affirming perspective. Each evaluation is conducted using gold-standard, evidence-based methods, with time devoted to understanding your unique strengths and challenges.

We view neuropsychological differences as natural variations in human experience, not deficits. This perspective guides every aspect of our work—helping individuals recognize, embrace, and build upon their inherent strengths.

Our assessments are designed to empower you, offering clarity that supports greater self-understanding, confidence, and wellbeing. Every evaluation is rigorous, comprehensive, while also deeply human.

What Sets Us Apart

Expertise with heart

As a team of clinicians who are also women and moms, we understand firsthand how challenging it can be to navigate school systems and mental health care while advocating for yourself or your child. We know how difficult it can be to find an accurate assessment — one where you feel truly seen and heard. That’s why we provide the same level of testing and neuropsychological services we would want for ourselves or our own children or family members. This understanding informs everything we do, ensuring our evaluations are as compassionate as they are comprehensive.

Gold-standard, evidence-based evaluations tailored just for you

We’re dedicated to providing neuropsychological evaluations that reflect the highest level of clinical excellence. Each assessment is comprehensive, multidimensional, and deeply individualized, designed to give you a 360-degree understanding of your cognitive, emotional, and behavioral functioning.

We draw from rigorous, evidence-based methods developed in the nation’s leading neuropsychology programs. Our evaluations go beyond answering the immediate questions., anticipating what you may not yet know or think of to ask. We will leave no stone unturned to help uncover the “why” behind how you learn, think, and act to help identify your unique strengths and needs. You’ll gain a clear understanding of why certain patterns of learning, thinking, and behavior occur, along with insights that empower growth and wellbeing across all areas of your life.

Beyond diagnosis: answers, guidance, personalized solutions

Many clients come to us after evaluation experiences that left them with more questions than answers. They may have:

• Been misdiagnosed or received inconsistent results in prior evaluations

• Received unclear or incomplete feedback that didn’t offer next steps

• Lacked a treatment plan tailored to their unique needs

• Struggled to secure school accommodations or appropriate support due to the lesser quality of their report

We go beyond diagnosis—offering a personalized roadmap with practical tools, resources, and guidance to help you or your child build self-understanding, cultivate acceptance, and develop the skills to thrive.

Honest, efficient, and accurate

We offer a range of fees for our evaluations based on your goals and needs. Rather than a flat rate, pricing reflects the actual time devoted to your assessment—ensuring you pay only for what you need. This flexible structure allows each evaluation to be precisely tailored to your unique situation.

If your needs are more extensive, we provide a thorough evaluation without compromise. If your presentation is less complex, you’re charged accordingly, avoiding unnecessary expense.

Before beginning, clients receive a clear estimate and testing range that we uphold to ensure transparency and peace of mind throughout the process.

Conditions We Assess

We provide evaluation services for children, teens, and adults across the lifespan experiencing a range of cognitive, emotional, behavioral, and medical concerns. Common referral areas include ADHD, learning differences, Autism Spectrum Disorder, neurodevelopmental concerns, depression, and anxiety.

Specialized Areas of Focus

We are extremely proud to work with individuals seeking specialized evaluations for the following specific and often hard-to-find areas of care.

Twice-Exceptional, Giftedness

• We specialize in evaluating neurodivergence in its many forms, including giftedness and twice-exceptionality—profiles that are often complex and may co-occur with conditions such as ADHD, autism, and learning disabilities. Our thorough, comprehensive yet individualized approach is designed to explore the full range of your strengths and challenges.

Standardized Test Accommodations (SAT/ACT, GRE/LSAT)

• We have extensive experience conducting testing as required by testing boards such as the SAT, ACT, GRE, and LSAT to support formal requests for accommodations.

Young Adults Struggling to Launch

• We specialize in working with young adults who are struggling to launch—those who may feel stuck, uncertain, or overlooked. Many come to us without a clear diagnosis, unsure of what’s getting in the way. Our goal is to help you uncover what’s beneath the surface, provide accurate diagnoses when needed, and connect you with the services and support that can foster confidence, independence, and a deeper understanding of your unique strengths.

Complex, Long-Standing Concerns, Masking

• We specialize in comprehensive evaluations for individuals grappling with complex and long-standing concerns—especially those whose high abilities may have masked their struggles for years. Often, these clients come to us with a deep sense that something has felt “off” or unnamed for much of their lives, despite prior evaluations or attempts to seek help that led to inconclusive answers. For many, their challenges were overshadowed by giftedness, perfectionism, or the ability to compensate in ways that kept underlying symptoms hidden from view. Our approach is designed to bring you clarity, direction, and relief.

Adult Autism Testing

• We specialize in assessing adults for autism spectrum disorder and are one of the few practices in the Washington DC region dedicated to this important work. Many of our clients come to us after years of feeling unseen or misunderstood. They’ve often developed masking or coping strategies that hide their symptoms, yet the pain of disconnection or confusion remains.

• Our comprehensive testing process can help you find the answers you’ve been searching for—bringing clarity, validation, and relief. Understanding yourself better is the first step toward living a life that is more connected and authentic.

Neurodivergent Girls, Teens, and Women of All Backgrounds

• We specialize in evaluating individuals whose neurodivergent experiences—such as ADHD, autism, or other neurodevelopmental differences—may not fit traditional diagnostic frameworks. This is especially true for girls, teens, women, and those who have been socialized under similar gendered expectations, where masking, overcompensating, or internalizing struggles can lead to delayed or missed diagnoses. Many of the people we work with describe feeling as though something has been “off” for years, yet previous evaluations were inconclusive or failed to capture the full picture. Often, their challenges have been minimized, misinterpreted, or overshadowed by strengths like high achievement or sensitivity to others’ needs. We are here to help you uncover the deeper patterns beneath the surface and provide clarity, language, and relief to those who’ve spent too long feeling unseen.

ADHD and Executive Functioning in Girls, Teens, and Women of All Backgrounds

• ADHD and executive functioning difficulties often show up differently in girls, women, and individuals socialized to be attentive, agreeable, or high-achieving—traits that can mask the core symptoms for years. Rather than the classic hyperactivity often associated with ADHD, many experience chronic overwhelm, internal restlessness, emotional sensitivity, forgetfulness, or difficulties with time management and organization that are quietly distressing but rarely recognized. These struggles are frequently misattributed to character flaws—being “too sensitive,” “lazy,” or “scattered”—rather than understood as neurodevelopmental in origin. Over time, this can lead to anxiety, shame, burnout, and a sense of falling short despite tremendous effort.

• We specialize in identifying these subtler presentations of ADHD, helping you finally name what you’ve been experiencing, and offering clear, compassionate insight into how your brain works. Our evaluations provide not only answers, but a starting point for healing, self-understanding, and real-world strategies that support confidence and ease.

Culturally Affirming Evaluations

• We thoughtfully consider how culture, race, ethnicity, and other aspects of identity influence how neurodiverse traits are perceived and expressed. Our goal is to ensure that every evaluation reflects your unique context—helping you move from feeling misunderstood to gaining clarity, validation, and actionable steps toward well-being.

Medical and Neurological Conditions

• We work collaboratively with medical providers to assess cognitive and emotional functioning in individuals with medical or neurological conditions such as dementia, Alzheimer’s disease, TBI, and Parkinson’s disease. For added convenience, we also offer in-home concierge visits to help make it easier for you or your loved ones to receive testing in a more comfortable, accessible way.
