About
Hello and welcome! I’m Dr. Sanela Kalakovic, a licensed psychologist based in Michigan. I work with adults who want clarity, validation, and practical insight into their lived experiences. My goal is to make the assessment process straightforward, respectful, and collaborative, so you can better understand yourself and move forward with confidence.
I chose to specialize in working with autistic and neurodivergent adults because I’ve seen how meaningful it is when someone finally gets an explanation that actually fits their life. Many people come in feeling misunderstood, overlooked, or mislabeled, and I want the evaluation space to be one where you feel respected, heard, and genuinely recognized. I care deeply about providing clear information without judgment, so you can use it in whatever way supports your life and goals.
My approach is direct, affirming, and strengths-focused. I listen closely, take your lived experience seriously, and avoid making assumptions. I aim to give you information in a clear, straightforward way, and I welcome questions, preferences, and communication differences. My intention is for the process to feel collaborative, grounding, and truly useful—not confusing or clinical for the sake of being clinical.
