Find answers. Understand what they mean. Know what comes next.

Comprehensive psychological evaluations for children, adolescents, and adults, with specialized expertise in autism, ADHD, learning differences, and complex or high-masking presentations.

Sometimes you know something isn’t quite adding up.

Maybe your child is struggling at school, at home, or socially, and you aren’t sure why. Or perhaps you’ve spent years wondering whether autism, ADHD, a learning difference, or something else could explain patterns you’ve noticed in your own life.

A thoughtful evaluation can help make sense of the full picture.

At First Steps Psychology, we look beyond individual symptoms and test scores to understand strengths, challenges, and the factors contributing to them. The goal isn’t simply to arrive at a diagnosis. It’s to provide meaningful answers and a clearer path forward.

You deserve more than a diagnosis.

We want to partner with you to understand the full picture—whether you’re seeking answers for yourself or your child—and turn those answers into meaningful next steps.

 

Assessments

Evaluations are individualized to the person and the questions that brought them to us.

Children & Adolescents

Comprehensive evaluations can help clarify concerns related to autism, ADHD, learning, development, attention and executive functioning, and emotional or behavioral functioning.

Adults

Adult evaluations can provide clarity around ADHD, autism, learning differences, and longstanding patterns that may not have been recognized earlier in life. We have particular interest in nuanced and high-masking presentations.

Beyond the Report

A diagnosis can provide important answers, but it shouldn’t leave you with a report and more questions.

Dr. Stefanie Warning-Probst brings extensive hospital-based clinical experience to a personalized assessment process focused on understanding the whole person. Every evaluation is designed to translate complex findings into clear, practical recommendations for everyday life.

Because understanding why is only the first step. Knowing what to do next matters, too.
