adult autism and adhd assessments

Stefanie provides comprehensive, neurodiversity-affirming psychological assessments for adult ADHD and Autism. She has a particular focus on highly internalised or high-masking presentations, which may go unrecognised until later in life.

If you are seeking medication for ADHD, this must be prescribed by a Psychiatrist or a GP who has completed additional specialist training. Unless you have been specifically referred by your Psychiatrist to see Stefanie for an ADHD assessment, it is recommended that you confirm whether your prescribing practitioner requires or prefers to conduct their own ADHD assessment.​

Stefanie’s approach is informed by both current research and the lived experiences of the neurodivergent community. She brings a deep appreciation of the complex interplay of strengths and difficulties that can accompany being neurodivergent in a predominantly neurotypical environment.
 

As a neurodivergent Clinical Psychologist identified later in life, Stefanie offers a nuanced, empathetic perspective that recognises the diversity of neurodivergent experiences, as well as the clarity that can come with gaining insight into one’s neurotype.

Stefanie acknowledges the Traditional Owners of the land where she works and lives, the Wurundjeri Woi-wurrung People of the Kulin Nation. She pays her respects to Elders past and present. She celebrates the stories, culture and traditions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Elders of all communities who also work and live on this land.
