Psychological Testing
Clear answers. Thoughtful recommendations. A path forward.
Neuroaffirming evaluations for children, teens, and adults.
If you or your child have been struggling without a clear explanation, a comprehensive psychological evaluation can help make sense of the full picture.
Healthy Growth Mindset, LLC provides individualized testing designed to identify strengths, clarify areas of difficulty, and offer practical recommendations for everyday life.
Our approach is trauma-informed, neuroaffirming, and grounded in a simple belief: a diagnosis may explain part of your experience, but it does not define who you are.
Our Testing Services
Autism Evaluations
Comprehensive evaluations exploring social communication, sensory experiences, routines, focused interests, developmental history, masking, emotional regulation, and support needs.
ADHD Evaluations
Assessment of attention, impulse control, executive functioning, childhood symptoms, and functioning at home, school, work, and in relationships.
Cognitive & IQ Testing
Testing that helps describe verbal and nonverbal reasoning, working memory, visual-spatial processing, knowledge, and other cognitive strengths and challenges.
Diagnostic Clarification
Careful evaluation when symptoms overlap or a previous explanation has not fully accounted for the person’s experiences and needs.
What Makes Healthy Growth Mindset, LLC Different?
More Than a Test Score
Psychological testing should never be reduced to one score or one questionnaire. We integrate the person’s history, lived experience, strengths, challenges, standardized testing, and information from relevant caregivers or other sources.
Our evaluations are:
Our evaluations are:
● Individualized — The evaluation is built around the referral question rather than using the same battery for everyone.
● Comprehensive — Conclusions are based on multiple sources of information.
● Neuroaffirming — Differences are explored respectfully without treating neurodivergence as a personal failure.
● Practical — Reports include recommendations that can be used in daily life.
● Collaborative — Results are explained in clear language during a feedback session.
What to Expect
1. Initial Consultation
We discuss the reason for testing, current concerns, relevant history, and the questions you hope the evaluation will answer. This helps us determine whether Healthy Growth Mindset's services are the right fit.
2. Individualized Evaluation Plan
Testing is selected according to the referral question, age, communication needs, and clinical history. Not every person receives the same measures.
3. Interviews and Questionnaires
The process may include clinical and developmental interviews, caregiver or collateral interviews, questionnaires, and review of school, medical, or previous testing records when available.
4. Testing Appointments
Standardized testing may occur during one or more appointments. Breaks and appropriate accommodations are incorporated while maintaining valid testing procedures.
5. Integrated Written Report
Your evaluator integrates all available information and prepares a report describing findings, diagnostic conclusions when supported, strengths, needs, and individualized recommendations.
6. Feedback Session
We explain the results in clear language, answer questions, and discuss next steps and recommendations.
Thoughtful Autism and ADHD Assessment
Autism
Autism can look different across ages, genders, cultures, communication styles, and support needs. Some people are identified early. Others spend years masking, compensating, or receiving explanations that never fully fit.
ADHD
ADHD affects more than attention. It may affect task initiation, time management, organization, working memory, emotional regulation, impulse control, and the ability to sustain effort.
Important: No single instrument diagnoses or rules out autism or ADHD. The ADOS-2 and T.O.V.A. provide valuable information, but conclusions are based on the complete evaluation.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does testing guarantee a diagnosis?
No. Testing is intended to provide an accurate clinical evaluation, not to confirm a predetermined diagnosis. Findings may support the suspected diagnosis, identify a different explanation, or reveal more than one contributing condition.
Can one test diagnose autism or ADHD?
No. Instruments such as the ADOS-2 and T.O.V.A. provide important information, but neither independently establishes or excludes a diagnosis.
Do you evaluate adults who were not identified in childhood?
Yes. Many adults seek testing after years of compensating, masking, or being treated for concerns that did not fully explain their experiences. Adult evaluations still examine developmental history, but a childhood diagnosis is not required.
Will I receive recommendations?
Yes. Reports include individualized recommendations based on the findings and the reason for referral. Recommendations may address therapy, school or workplace supports, medical consultation, daily functioning, or additional services.
How much does testing cost, and is insurance accepted?
Cost and payment options depend on the referral question and evaluation plan. Contact our office before scheduling for current fee, payment, and insurance information.
Can testing be completed through telehealth?
Some interviews and questionnaires may be completed remotely when clinically appropriate. Certain standardized measures require in-person administration. Telehealth services are provided only when the client is physically located in Texas.
