Yes, the approach is always tailored to the person's life stage, but the goal is the same: providing clarity and support. For younger kiddos, our process is more play-based. For teens, we focus on navigating their growing independence. For adults, the focus might be on career, relationships, or a late diagnosis. No matter the age, the process is always respectful and strengths-based. See how we tailor our assessments for different ages.
Let's Make This Simple.
Forget the noise. Just ask yourself one thing: Are you here for the Why or the How?
You need a 'why' that feels like an answer, not an accusation.
Let's be real: for too long, the question "why am I like this?" has probably felt heavy with judgment. We're flipping the script. Here, we become detectives to uncover why you experience the world the way you do, treating it as a brilliant mystery to solve, not a flaw to expose. This path is for:
- Trading frustrating guesswork for "aha!" moments of genuine insight.
- Gathering evidence of your strengths, not just your struggles.
- Finally closing the case with a clear summary of what it all means.
Or Maybe your first question is how to just get through the week.
The big "why" can feel overwhelming when the immediate "how" is screaming for attention. This path is for tackling the here and now. It's about getting practical, hands-on support to make today, tomorrow, and this week feel more manageable. This is the path for you if you're thinking:
- "Forget the mystery, how do I get my brain to focus for more than five minutes?"
- "How do I handle this wave of anxiety that hits me every afternoon?"
- "How do I survive this family gathering/work project/impossible situation?"
Spoiler Alert: You Can't Lose.
If you're worried there's a "correct" answer and you're about to epically fail the quiz, you can relax. We don't believe in pop quizzes here.
- "But what if I choose the Assessment and realize I just needed to talk?" Then we start talking! Your Assessment report will give us a fantastic, detailed starting point for our conversations. You've lost nothing; in fact, you've gained a head start.
- "And if I choose Therapy and realize I need a formal diagnosis?" Then we can explore an assessment! Starting with therapy can give you the support to handle the deep dive of an assessment, and it can help us target exactly what we need to look for.
- "This still feels like a trick." It's not. And I'm happy to prove it. Book a free, 15-minute Fit Check. Ask me anything. I'll give you straight answers.

That's a great question, and the answer is usually no—by design. Therapy sessions are often covered by in-network insurance plans. However, we offer our Clarity Assessments at a transparent, affordable hourly rate because the traditional, insurance-based assessment model is often a high-cost "cash grab" that we refuse to participate in. Read our brutally honest guide to cost and insurance here.
It can be, if that's what you need. But usually, it's much more active. A therapy or coaching session is our space to roll up our sleeves and work on the "how." We build practical, real-world skills for things like executive dysfunction, we find tools to manage anxiety, and we might even play a game to work on problem-solving. It's individualized, goal-oriented, and definitely not passive. Learn how we separate the "why" from the "how."
Absolutely not. We don't do cold, robotic interrogations here. Our Clarity Assessment is a collaborative, conversational process. It starts with a conversation about your life and experiences, followed by some take-home questionnaires you do on your own time. The goal isn't to judge you; it's to create your brain's user manual together. Read more about our assessment philosophy.
