If you are wanting to better understand any symptoms you may be experiencing, any changes you have noticed in your mental health and/or what diagnosis may best fit for you (e.g., PTSD, anxiety, ADHD depression, etc.) this integrated assessment can help you gain insight. This assessment includes a thorough clinical interview, clinical testing and a therapeutic feedback session.  

At your feedback session, we will discuss what diagnosis appears to fit your experiences and provide you with information about that diagnosis. We will also answer any questions you may have and discuss options for resources or support that may be helpful for you (e.g., specific treatments and recommendations for daily resources and strategies).

Clinical Assessment: $1000 - $2400
This includes psychological testing, clinical interview, report with detailed results and personalized recommendations, and a feedback session to discuss what this all means and what sorts of resources, services or steps you may find helpful. This assessment is for adults only (18+ years old) and for clinical and treatment purposes only.

Affirming Adult ADHD/Autism Assessment: $1000 - $4000
For a number of reasons, some folks realize as adults that they may have undiagnosed ADHD, autism or both ("AuDHD"). Experts in the field have begun to realize that our diagnostic criteria are often based on observations of little boys from a particular demographic group in classroom settings. As a result, many women, people of color and others whose presentation is "atypical" or "masked" can be overlooked or misdiagnosed.

If you have been wondering whether you may be neurodivergent, we can complete this assessment together. We will use a number of tested measures to illuminate things about you and how you think about and experience things. I have been careful to include assessments methods that are sensitive enough to catch symptoms in folks who may have learned to "mask" their symptoms or may present with atypical symptoms. Whether or not you have ADHD, Autism or some other diagnosis that is causing you similar concerns, we will investigate together. You will be provided with a report on your results, personalized recommendations and a feedback session where we can discuss all of these findings and what they mean for you.

These assessments are designed for the purposes of self-understanding and compassion, clinical treatment if applicable and identifying helpful strategies for living fully. If you have additional needs such as assessment related to accommodations, workplace concerns, court proceedings or other forensic concerns, please ask us for more information about options to best serve your needs.

Dr. Layton offers independent medical evaluations and nexus letters for veterans and servicemembers seeking VA disability for a mental health condition. This evaluation process involves a review of select medical documentation related to your mental health and military history (e.g., DD214, Reports of Medical History, select service treatment records, etc.), a thorough clinical interview and clinical testing. We will discuss findings and you will be provided with an evaluation report that you can submit into your VA C-file. We can assess for both mental health conditions directly related to your service (e.g., combat, MST, other stressful events) as well as mental health concerns that appear to have arisen as result of your service-connected conditions (e.g., depression, anxiety or insomnia due to chronic pain, tinnitus/hearing loss, adjustment to disability).

Independent Clinical/Medical Evaluation for Mental Health Concerns
This includes a clinical interview, clinical testing, select/relevant records review, assessment report and feedback. We will discuss any mental health changes that you noticed during or after the military. This option can also include a nexus and/or rebuttal letter (outlining the evidence and addressing any previously denied claims) if desired and supported by the evidence. We can discuss this option further in relation to your specific case and needs. $1000-$1800
‍
Some examples of diagnoses Veterans have shared include PTSD related to an in-service stressful or traumatic experience, an onset of depression or anxiety, insomnia, disordered eating or unhealthy weight changes that onset when trying to make weight, OCD and substance use disorders (e.g., "smoke 'em if you've got 'em mentality, drinking to cope).  
‍
Reports are completed within 1-3 business days after our evaluation as our standard practice. Sometimes folks going though the VA disability process find themselves in a time crunch. Please let me know if that is the case for you when we are scheduling.

*Please note that this is a objective assessment. I cannot guarantee any specific diagnosis or finding. I will assess your symptoms, take the time to truly listen to you, integrate helpful testing that can provide additional evidence related to your current mental health concerns and impacts, and explain my findings to you directly so that you know exactly what I concluded diagnostically in the report and why. I will also give you information about possible additional diagnoses or concerns you may be experiencing and provide information about treatments and resources available to you through the VA, Vet Center and community.  

Many of the Veterans I have seen for care have told me that they wished they could have seen a mental health professional right away when leaving the military to discuss mental health, stress coping and a handful of other applicable skills for the transition out of the military. They wished they could have had an in-depth discussion with me then that could have provided them with some insights, resources and information from the start. That is what this consultation is. You and I will discuss your stress and how you are handling the transition out. We will talk about  stress coping and communication skills for you to use. The information and skills will be personalized to your needs at the time of this consultation. You will also be given information about how to access treatment, workshops or other resources you may have interest in now or at a later point.

This can also be an especially helpful consultation for new parents, parents-to-be, parents who are breaking cycles (e.g., breaking free from generational trauma or rewriting parenting to offer more intentional and "healthy" parenting than you had), and parents who feel a lack of that "village" we have all been told it takes to raise children. If you are trying to jump start your journey into intentional, values-based and deeply connecting parenting, this is an encouraging, personalized and judgement-free consultation to support you.
