How we can help
Help & Healing Center offers individualized evaluations based on your age, concerns, history, and reason for testing.
We provide autism evaluations for children, teens, and adults. Evaluations consider developmental history, social communication, sensory experiences, and everyday functioning.
Some people mask autistic traits for years, making autism harder to recognize. Our clinicians are experienced with high-masking presentations and late-diagnosed autism. This can be especially helpful for AFAB individuals, LGBTQIA+ individuals, and others whose earlier evaluations did not explain their experiences.
We evaluate PDA-related characteristics as part of appropriate autism assessments. Our clinicians consider demand avoidance alongside developmental history and other autism-related concerns.
Our psychological testing can address ADHD-related concerns involving attention, executive functioning, organization, impulsivity, and learning.
We provide evaluations for children with concerns involving learning, attention, behavior, emotional regulation, development, or social interaction.
Adults can seek evaluation for autism, ADHD, cognitive concerns, and longstanding difficulties affecting work, education, relationships, or daily life.
Our teen autism evaluations address concerns involving social communication, sensory experiences, school demands, relationships, and masking.
If a previous autism evaluation did not answer your questions, we can provide a second clinical perspective, including for high-masking or PDA-related concerns.

We brought our son to Dr. Myszak recently; she was patient, flexible and kind and helped him feel comfortable. At first he was very anxious but she was willing to meet him where he was.

The experience felt validating, compassionate, and non-judgmental. I was able to reveal information that I wasn’t comfortable revealing to previous psychologists.
