Find Adult Autism Care Near You

I am a clinical and forensic psychologist specializing in comprehensive psychological evaluations including for autism and other forms of neurodivergence. My approach is steady, thoughtful, and grounded in deep respect for each person’s lived experience. Clients can expect a collaborative process that blends structured assessment with genuine curiosity, clear communication, and a commitment to understanding the full picture — strengths, challenges, and the context that shapes them.

‍

I have extensive experience differentiating complex presentations, including ADHD, learning differences, mood and anxiety disorders, and co‑occurring conditions that can make diagnosis feel confusing or uncertain. As both a clinician and a parent of an autistic adult, I bring a grounded, compassionate understanding of the complexities individuals and families navigate. This lived perspective strengthens my dedication to providing evaluations that honor identity, illuminate strengths, and offer clarity that feels supportive rather than clinical.

‍

My goal is to help clients and families understand themselves more fully, access appropriate resources, and move forward with confidence, self‑trust, and a sense of being genuinely seen.

Hello! I'm glad you're here. My name is Shannon Patterson. I'm a licensed psychologist who approaches psychological assessment with warmth, curiosity, and a strengths-based, neurodiversity-affirming perspective.

My approach is collaborative and individualized, recognizing that our identities, relationships, and environments shape how we experience the world. I strive to create a welcoming, nonjudgmental space where you feel heard, respected, and understood. Ultimately, my goal is for you to leave the assessment process with greater self-understanding, practical recommendations, and a stronger sense of empowerment to advocate for your needs and live authentically.
