We Help Adults Who Are Tired Of Feeling Confused About Their Mind.

A lot of young adults come to us after years of wondering, “Why does everything feel so intense for me?”
‍
Maybe you’ve tried to push through. Maybe you’ve blamed yourself. Maybe you’ve been told to “just try harder,” even though you’ve been trying your whole life.

You might feel overwhelmed. You might work better at home than in other environments. You might be great at some things but struggle with focus, time, or motivation in ways you can't explain.

You're not alone, and you're not imagining it.

At LGBT+ Counseling Collaborative, we take the time to listen, ask the right questions, and look at the full picture of your experiences.

Our goal is simple: help you feel more control of your life and better advocate for the support you deserve at school, work, or home.

Testing That Shows You The Full Story. Not Just One Label.

Online quizzes and quick appointments can’t explain what you’ve been navigating for years.

We can.

Our assessments look at the full picture: ADHD, Autism, anxiety, depression, trauma, and how your brain actually works day to day.

You’ll learn why certain things feel hard, why you react the way you do, and what steps will actually help.

No guessing. No Googling symptoms. Just clarity.

How The Assessment Process Works.

If this is your first time seeking testing, it can feel scary or confusing. We keep things simple, gentle, and clear so you always know what comes next.

Step 1: Free Call To Talk Things Through

A short call where you tell us what you’ve been struggling with and what you want clarity on. We’ll answer questions and help you decide if testing is right for you.

Step 2: Test with Licensed Clinician

You’ll meet with a clinician who walks you through each step in plain language. We use evidence based tools to understand your focus, stress, executive functioning, and how your mind works day to day.

Step 3: Your Results + Next Steps

You’ll get a clear explanation of your results and a written report that outlines your strengths, challenges, and helpful recommendations for school, remote work accommodations, or other arrangements.

Have questions? We have the answers.

How do I get started?

Book a free consultation. We’ll talk about your concerns, explain the process, and help you decide if this is the right fit.

‍

Can I use the results at work or school?

Yes, if you choose to. Your report can help you understand what support you might need. Some clients use it to ask for remote accommodations, flexibility, or adjustments that make their environment easier — but it’s completely your choice.

‍

Do you accept insurance?

We do not accept insurance. However, most clients with PPO plans get 40–80% reimbursed after submitting their superbill.We provide CPT codes up front so you can check with your insurance provider.

Is there a deposit? How does payment work?

Yes.

At booking:
• $260 deposit for the intake session.

On the day of the testing appointment:
• Estimated 5-hour testing fee ($1300) is charged.

Before your feedback session:
• Remaining balance is due (based on total time used for testing, scoring, and report writing).

These payments are non-refundable.

‍

Why does testing take this many hours?

Because your life is not one symptom.
A rushed or surface-level assessment can miss important details.
We take time to understand:
• your strengths
• your challenges
• your history
• overlap between ADHD, Autism, trauma, anxiety, depression, and more

This ensures your results are accurate, holistic, and truly helpful.

‍

How much does testing cost?

All services are billed at $260 per hour. A full ADHD or Autism evaluation typically takes 12–16 hours, which averages $3120–$4160.Some assessments may require more time depending on complexity.

How long does the whole process take?

From start to finish, most people complete their assessment process within 2–4 weeks, depending on scheduling and report preparation time.

‍

What happens during the assessment process?

Your assessment is tailored to your goals, but most adults move through these steps:

1. Free 15–20 minute consultation
Talk about your concerns, fees, and scheduling.

2. 1-hour intake session
We explore your background, experiences, and goals so we can personalize the testing.

3. Psychological questionnaires
You’ll complete evidence-based tests sent to you before the assessment day.

4. 4–6 hour testing appointment
This includes interviews and tests that look at memory, focus, executive functioning, cognitive skills, and more.

5. Report writing
We review everything and create a detailed report with diagnoses, strengths, challenges, and recommendations.

6. 1-hour feedback session
We go over your results together, answer questions, and explain what to do next.

You receive your full report the same day as your feedback session.
