Adult ADHD and Autism Assessments in Jacksonville, FL
Clarity, Care, and Answers
Seeking clarity about ADHD or Autism as an adult can feel like a big step, but you don’t have to take it alone. At Tracy Riley Counseling, our team provides thoughtful, compassionate assessments that offer understanding and direction. Whether for yourself or a loved one, these evaluations are designed to bring peace of mind and help you move forward with confidence and care.
Understanding Starts With Assessment
ADHD and Autism present differently in every individual. For many adults, traits may have gone unnoticed or misunderstood for years, often leading to frustration or self-doubt. A proper assessment creates the opportunity to better understand behaviors, challenges, and strengths in a way that fosters self-awareness.
With clearer insight, adults can begin to explore meaningful supports—whether that’s workplace or educational accommodations, improved communication in personal relationships, or simply the reassurance of knowing themselves better. An assessment is not just about identifying traits; it’s about opening the door to new possibilities and greater confidence in daily life.
A Structured, Compassionate Process
At Tracy Riley Counseling, we follow a clear, step-by-step process designed to give you accurate insights and help you feel supported at every stage. Whether you are seeking clarity about ADHD, autism, or co-occurring presentations, our approach is thorough, evidence-based, and centered on your unique experiences.
Option One: Neurodivergence Screening (“Neuro Screening”)
Cost: $375 | Time: 90 minutes | Service: No formal diagnosis provided
The screening consists of questions regarding your traits, history, and challenges only in relation to ADHD and autism.
A quick review of your information is compared to DSM-5 diagnostic criteria.
There is typically no waiting time for the screening report.
Your provider will discuss their findings and advise whether continuing with the diagnostic assessment (Option 2) is warranted.
Screenings CANNOT be submitted for insurance reimbursement.
Option Two: Diagnostic Clinical Assessment
Cost: $1,275 | Time: 120–180-minute in interview + 30-minute follow-up session | Service: Formal diagnosis and recommendations provided
Key Features:
- Adult-Centered Approach: We utilize a variety of tools specifically developed for adults, rather than relying on instruments originally created for children and later adapted for adult use.
- Culturally Responsive: Incorporates systematic consideration of cultural, gender, and identity factors that influence neurodivergent presentation and recognition.
- Strengths-Based: Emphasizes individual neurological profiles and environmental fit rather than deficit-focused assessment.
- Comprehensive Scope: Addresses not only core diagnostic criteria but also masking behaviors, sensory processing differences, and pathological demand avoidance patterns.
- Fee covers the time taken for assessment interview, all additional time spent completing documentation or related tasks, and follow-up session.
- A thorough review of your information is cross-examined with common misdiagnoses then compared to DSM-5 diagnostic criteria.
- A comprehensive diagnostic report based on the data acquired during the assessment process is completed and a copy provided to you.
- The wait time for the diagnostic report ranges from only 2 – 4 weeks.
- At the follow-up session, your provider will discuss their findings and provide a copy of the assessment for you to review and approve.
This 2-part system allows you to receive services at a speed that is comfortable for you. It also allows you to divide the cost over time. If your screening indicates that continuing with the diagnosis is not warranted, or the screening is sufficient to satisfy your needs, you do not have to spend any additional time or money completing the comprehensive assessment.
What You Can Expect
At the conclusion of the assessment, you’ll receive a detailed written report that outlines results and provides clear insights. Dr. Riley and the staff will schedule a follow-up consultation to review the findings, answer your questions, and discuss personalized recommendations. The process is designed not just to identify traits, but to empower you with understanding and practical guidance for the future.
Every client’s situation is unique, which is why our team offers flexible scheduling, including evening and weekend appointments when available. Assessments can take place in-person at the Jacksonville office or via convenient telehealth. Whichever option you choose, you can expect a respectful, compassionate environment where your story is valued.
