What types of adult evaluations do you perform?
Our adult evaluation practice primarily focuses on assessments for Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). We also conduct evaluations for Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) and Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) when clinically appropriate. Our evaluations are highly specialized and are typically focused on one or two diagnostic questions per evaluation. We do not provide broad or exploratory assessments intended to evaluate every possible diagnosis someone might meet under the DSM-5. We do not specialize in evaluations for bipolar disorders, schizophrenia spectrum disorders, personality disorders, or adult learning disorders.
What does a typical adult assessment process look like?
The process begins by requesting an intake appointment through our website. After submitting your request, you will receive a welcome email with links to all required intake materials which must be completed at least 72 hours before your scheduled intake. The intake appointment typically lasts 30–50 minutes. If we determine we are a good fit, evaluation session(s) will be scheduled, which typically last 1.5 to 2 hours. After the evaluation is completed, a comprehensive diagnostic report is prepared (typically within 3 to 6 weeks). You will receive an electronic copy of your report through the portal.
What makes your adult assessment practice different?
One of the most distinctive aspects of Neeley Psychological Services is our specialization in adult populations that are often underserved in psychological assessment. We specialize in Autism presentations in individuals assigned female at birth (AFAB) and gender-diverse adults. Many of our evaluations are covered in full or in part by private insurance, and we are known for a relatively efficient turnaround time. Finally, our adult evaluation process is collaborative and neurodiversity-affirming.
I want to get my spouse or partner evaluated. What should I do?
The assessment process works best when the individual being evaluated is motivated and personally invested. When someone does not want to participate, the process can be challenging and assessment results are often limited or inconclusive. We strongly value client autonomy and do not believe in forcing evaluations or diagnoses on individuals who are not seeking them. If your spouse or partner is genuinely interested in being evaluated, we ask that they initiate the process themselves whenever possible.
I want to get my adult child evaluated. What should I do?
If your adult child has a genuine interest in being evaluated, we would be happy to help. It is important that the individual seeking services is willing and able to participate actively. Please do not schedule appointments unless you are confident your adult child is interested and engaged. Due to confidentiality requirements, we are unable to discuss evaluation details or results with parents or others unless the adult client has signed a Release of Information (ROI).
Will you need input from my family, friends, or healthcare providers during the evaluation?
For most self-referred adult clients, we do not typically need to gather information from others, although this may be recommended in some situations (such as evaluations for Autism Spectrum Disorder Level 2 or Level 3). The majority of Level 1 Autism evaluations do not require consultation with family members. However, with the client's permission, we are always willing to review written input from family members, caregivers, or members of the healthcare team if the client believes it would be helpful.
My primary care provider and/or therapist said that I'm not Autistic. Should I still get evaluated?
It is not uncommon for individuals to receive differing opinions about Autism from well-intentioned providers. Many primary care providers, psychiatrists, and therapists have limited training in the full range of Autism presentations. If you have been told you are not Autistic but continue to have questions or feel that the explanation does not fully fit your experiences, seeking a comprehensive evaluation may still be worthwhile to offer clarity and validation.
What child and teen age ranges do you work with?
We evaluate children and adolescents from approximately 2 years and 5 months through 17 years of age.
What child/teen diagnoses are you able to give?
Dr. Katherine Stubblefield (Dr. Kat) is able to provide diagnoses listed in the DSM-5-TR. Her areas of specialization include Autism Spectrum Disorder, Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), Developmental Delay, Intellectual Disorder, and Specific Learning Disorders. She does not specialize in more complex psychiatric diagnoses, including PTSD, Bipolar Disorders, Personality Disorders, or Schizophrenia Spectrum Disorders.
Why should I have my child/teen evaluated?
A comprehensive evaluation can provide valuable information about your child or teen's cognitive, social, academic, and emotional functioning. This information helps you make well-informed decisions about appropriate supports, services, and interventions. In addition, many insurance providers require a formal diagnostic evaluation in order to approve certain therapeutic or support services.
Why does my teen need to complete the intake history form when I can provide more detailed information?
You absolutely know your child well, and parent input is an important part of the evaluation process. At the same time, the purpose of the assessment is to understand your teen's experiences from their own perspective. Gathering information from multiple sources is clinically valuable; however, the extent of parent involvement is guided by confidentiality considerations and, when applicable, your teen's consent.
My teen doesn't have an email address, or I'm not comfortable with them having one. Can we use a parent's email instead?
We understand concerns about online safety, but we are unable to bypass this requirement. Teens ages 13 and older must have their own accessible email address in order to participate in services. This ensures secure access to intake forms and helps ensure compliance with state and HIPAA confidentiality laws, which prevent us from releasing clinical info to parents without the teen's written consent.
Why do I need to complete a Release of Information (ROI) form for my teen?
Under Washington State law, individuals ages 13 and older may initiate psychological services without parental consent and retain full rights to confidentiality. Because of these protections, we are not legally permitted to share clinical information or evaluation results with parents or guardians unless we receive written consent from the teen through a Release of Information (ROI) form.
Do you evaluate clients in other states?
Yes. Neeley Psychological Services is licensed in Washington and Oregon, and is also a participant in the Psychology Interjurisdictional Compact (PSYPACT). PSYPACT allows us to provide telehealth and remote evaluation services to clients located in 40+ participating states.
Why do you require a form of payment on file?
Neeley Psychological Services requires a payment card or ACH authorization on file to streamline billing and reduce administrative delays. Having a payment method on file helps us maintain an organized and predictable billing process, which allows us to offer transparent and competitive pricing for our services.
Do you provide therapy or counseling services?
Neeley Psychological Services does not currently offer therapy or counseling services, though we hope to expand into these services in the future. In the meantime, therapists and counselors can be located through the Psychology Today Therapist Directory.
Can you prescribe medication?
No. Neeley Psychological Services does not prescribe medication. Depending on your location, we may be able to offer referral options.
Can you help me obtain work accommodations related to my diagnosis?
Possibly, depending on the process involved. We recommend first contacting your employer's human resources department. If a brief letter or short accommodation form is required, we can often assist. Please note that we are often unable to complete lengthy disability paperwork or ADA Medical Certification forms, as these are typically better completed by a primary care provider.
Can you complete documentation for a Total and Permanent Disability (TPD) discharge or TEACH Grant service-obligation discharge?
In most cases, no. While we regularly evaluate ASD in adults, we generally do not complete documentation for TPD or TEACH Grant discharges. Our assessments focus on diagnosis, support needs, and clinical recommendations—not on establishing global, permanent vocational incapacity required by federal TPD standards.
Will my diagnosis qualify me for disability income?
There is no single answer to this question. Eligibility for disability income varies widely by program, state, and funding source. It is the client's responsibility to determine what documentation or assessment components a particular program requires in order to be considered for benefits.
Can an Autism Spectrum Disorder diagnosis harm or hinder me in any way?
An Autism diagnosis can provide clarity, validation, and access to appropriate supports. At the same time, questions about potential legal, employment, or insurance implications fall outside the scope of psychological assessment. We are not able to provide legal guidance and encourage clients to consult with a qualified attorney if they have concerns. Choosing whether and to whom to disclose a diagnosis is always the individual's decision.
Do you have a waitlist?
Neeley Psychological Services does not use a waitlist. We typically have intake appointments available within a few weeks to a few months, depending on the service. The most up-to-date availability can be viewed by clicking “Request Appointment” on our website.
I heard the NIH is amassing private medical records to study Autism. Is my private data safe?
We are fully committed to protecting your privacy. Under HIPAA, strict federal standards govern how protected health information may be used or disclosed. We do not release diagnostic information, records, or reports to outside organizations—including research entities such as the NIH—without your explicit written authorization.
Where can I leave a review?
We do not actively solicit reviews in order to protect client confidentiality. That said, you are welcome to leave a review on our Google business page if you choose to do so. If you have had a negative experience, please feel free to contact Dr. Neeley directly so we can work toward a resolution.
Are you hiring?
Possibly. We are always interested in connecting with psychologists and licensed mental health professionals who have experience in Autism and ADHD assessment. If you believe you may be a good fit, please contact us at admin@neeleypsych.com.
