About

I’m Dr. Victor Pendleton, a licensed psychologist licensed in Colorado and Texas with more than 25 years of experience helping people better understand themselves. A major focus of my current practice is psychological assessment, particularly evaluations for autism and ADHD in adults and adolescents. In recent years, I have completed approximately 50 autism evaluations and more than 100 ADHD evaluations.

Education & Licensure

Phd in Counseling Psychology from the University of Houston, TX; MS in Exercise Science from the University of Houston, TX; BA in Mathematics from California State University, San Jose;

Treatment Approach

What motivated you to specialize in working with autistic adults?

I approach assessment with curiosity, respect, and an appreciation for the many different ways people experience and interact with the world. I value inclusivity and celebrate human diversity, including neurodiversity. There is no particular way I expect someone to look, communicate, or behave during an evaluation. My goal is to create a comfortable, nonjudgmental environment where you can be yourself and feel that your experiences are heard and taken seriously.

How do you bring a strengths-based, affirming approach to your client work?

I believe that a good assessment should provide more than a diagnosis. I want you to leave the process with a better understanding of your experiences, strengths, challenges, and what may be helpful going forward.
