Jamie Rifkin
About
Hi, I am Jamie, a licensed psychologist based in Los Angeles, California. With over 20 years of experience in the mental health field, my clinical background spans comprehensive psychological assessment, psychotherapy for adolescents and adults, clinical supervision, and organizational training and consultation. My approach is client-centered and neurodiversity-affirming. I view our work as a collaborative partnership where your personal values serve as our compass.
Psychological evaluations are a passion for me because they allow us to synthesize information and answer meaningful questions about how you perceive and interact with the world. I chose to focus on autism evaluations to support individuals who have often spent their lives feeling different or misunderstood. My goal is to foster deep self-awareness, validation, and self-acceptance. If you are seeking ongoing treatment, your assessment results also act as an efficient, tailored roadmap to help both you and your therapist target your unique strengths and challenges.
I firmly believe that a diagnostic evaluation should never feel cold or pathologizing. From our very first conversation to the final feedback session, my priority is ensuring you feel truly heard, respected, and understood. A strengths-based approach means looking far beyond diagnostic criteria to highlight your personal assets and individual resilience. When you read your evaluation report, you won't just see clear diagnostic answers, you will gain a genuine appreciation for your core strengths and practical tools for navigating life and advocating for your needs.
