About
Welcome on your path toward clarity, validation, and support. I'm Dr. Dawn Suh, a licensed clinical psychologist in California. I've always been drawn to understanding people's stories and the many different ways we experience the world. I believe that feeling understood can open the door to greater self-understanding and help us find new directions forward.
I strive to create a warm, comfortable space where you can show up as yourself, share your experiences, and explore your questions without feeling judged. Discovering your neurotype can be a journey, and I'm here to offer guidance and support along the way.
What draws me to working with neurodivergent individuals is the opportunity to help people better understand themselves and make sense of experiences that may have felt confusing or difficult to explain. Throughout my clinical work, I've had the opportunity to work with neurodivergent children and adults and conduct comprehensive psychological evaluations. I've seen how meaningful it can be when someone begins to connect the dots and finds language for patterns they've noticed throughout their lives.
For adults exploring an autism assessment, this might mean understanding why certain social situations feel exhausting, why sensory experiences can be overwhelming, or why they've often felt a little different from those around them. I find it incredibly meaningful to be part of that process of discovery and to help people approach themselves with greater understanding and compassion.
I approach assessment with curiosity, compassion, and a strengths-based perspective. I'm interested not only in the challenges that bring you to an evaluation, but also in what comes naturally to you, what you enjoy, how you connect with others, and the ways you've learned to navigate the world.
I see assessment as a collaborative process rather than simply checking off diagnostic criteria. I want to hear your story, understand your experiences across different stages of life, and make room for the parts of your experience that may not always be easy to put into words. I also recognize that culture, family expectations, and the environments we grow up in can shape how we understand and express ourselves.
As a Korean-English bilingual psychologist, I bring an appreciation for cultural differences and the ways they can intersect with neurodivergence. My hope is that you leave the assessment feeling heard and with a clearer understanding of yourself, your strengths, and the kinds of support that may help you thrive.
