Assessments & Screening
We specialize in personalized, in-depth adult assessments for autism, ADHD, giftedness and mental health. Our approach to assessment is collaborative, flexible and neurodiversity-affirming. We rely more heavily than most on interviewing in order to honour the depth and complexity of your unique life experiences and take into account high-masking, multiply-neurodivergent, complex and other less common presentations. Our assessment and screening services are available in-person in Toronto and virtually across Ontario.
We are committed to offering care that is neurodiversity-affirming, LGBTQIA+ and ENM-affirming, anti-oppressive, trauma-informed, sex-positive, and kink-positive.
Comprehensive Neurodiversity Assessment
Explores: neurodiversity, mental health and wellness, personality, executive functioning, sensory profile and functional impacts
Our in-depth neurodiversity-affirming assessments aim to help you make sense of your life experiences through the lens of neurodivergence, while establishing whether you meet criteria for a diagnosis of autism, ADHD and/or related conditions. We will also assesses for and diagnose co-occuring mental health conditions such as mood disorders, OCD, anxiety disorders, trauma-related conditions, personality diagnoses and more as part of this comprehensive neurodiversity assessment.
Because neurodivergence is complex and many individuals have overlapping experiences consistent with more than one conditions, we prefer to assess for these together, rather than looking for one diagnosis in isolation.
Our assessment package includes up to 12 face-to-face session hours (typically 7-8).

ADHD and/or Autism Screening
Those who are not ready to commit to, or who do not want, a full assessment may like to consider a screening. Screening aims to explore the likelihood that their profile might be consistent with ADHD and/or autism. The process can help you discern whether a full assessment is recommended or not.
Screening sessions are offered by our skilled psychotherapists, who were specially trained and mentored by Dr. Melodie Lemay-Gaulin and include questionnaires and interviews.

Other Psychological Assessments
Dr. Melodie Lemay-Gaulin (and clinical psychology trainees under and supervision) also offer personalized psychological assessments that aim to answer a specific question or clarify a specific diagnosis. For example, professionals like social workers, psychotherapists or family physicians may refer a person for a targeted psychological assessment if they suspect the person might have a specific disorder that impacts their treatment plan. Individuals may also seek this type of assessment if they would like a second opinion on a diagnosis they received from another professional or if they suspect they meet criteria for a particular condition.
These assessments are priced on an hourly basis including face-to-face interviewing and testing time, scoring and interpretation of tests and questionnaires, documentation review, and report- or letter-writing. This is to ensure that cost is proportional to the complexity of the assessment.
Hourly Rate
Psychologist or Trainee: $275 per hour of work done by the psychologist
