We offer testing to offer diagnostic clarification for Autism, Adhd, as well as common mental health conditions.

Our process is collaborative. It typically involves filling out a questionaire and measures prior to your appointment, a 60-180 minute interview/testing session, followed by a one hour feedback session where you receive a report of diagnosis, functioning as well as recommendations for care.

Many neurodivergent individuals go undiagnosed because they’ve learned to “mask” or camouflage their traits. Testing can provide validation of confusing life experiences such as “feeling different”, help identify strengths, as well possibly assist in identifying linked medical conditions. It may also be helpful for learning how to function better in a world not built for you ( sensory regulation, increased pain tolerance) as well as work or school accommodations, if desired.

We are comfortable and experienced seeing patients of notoriety or in professions requiring discretion. We do not link to nationwide shared electronic medical records, and offer paper charting upon request.

Divergent presentations-especially in women, high-masking individuals,or BIPOC- are often misdiagnosed as mood disorders, personality disorders, or conduct disorders which can impact legal systems, medical care, and self-esteem. Some diagnoses can aldo be barriers to certain types of employment or school settings.

We believe strongly in enhanced privacy. We believe your brain is your business, so at this time we are out of network commercial insurance plans that require reporting of information at payment. This allows are patients to individually choose if they would like to utilize and be reimbursed by insurance. We offer a superbill at the end of your appointment, or at the end of the month, if attending individual therapy, to submit for reimbursement to insurance.

No, you do not need a referral from a physician to seek services from Minerva.

Its an approach that views neurodivergence ( like Autism and ADHD) as a natural brain variation not a disease to be cured. We like to compare it to being left handed; something once seen as something to be corrected, and now is widely accepted by society; but sometimes requires different tools or adjustments. BTW neurodivergent individuals are waaay less likely to be right hand dominant.

Currently we see patients in Connecticut, Ohio, Oregon, and Minnesota. We will be adding several more states in the coming months. If your state is not listed above, please contact us, as we likely will be offering care to your state soon.

We believe strongly in multidisciplinary practice, and medical conditions related to neurodivergence such as dysautonomia, hyper-mobility, and certain auto immune conditions. Even the way we express pain due to difference proprioception is different. As such we plan to offer OT and medical concierge services for the neurodivergent community in the near future.

Minerva is the Roman godess of wisdom, justice, law, crafts, and strategy. Minerva was undeniably neurodivergent; and while celebrated at times, often her good intentions were often wildly misunderstood. We believe in the wisdom of rest, and offer a space to remove the armor “masking” that so many of us wear in our daily lives just to make it.

Comprehensive virtual or in office testing is offered at $949. We offer individual therapy at a rate of $200 per hour for in office or virtual sessions. Home visits available upon request, as well as concierge psychotherapy services, contact for fees.

We do offer reduced rates for first responders and medical workers, and can provide a “superbill” for reimbursement through insurance.

We also partner with Thrizer to reduce upfront out of pocket costs and to make applying for reimbursement with your insurance transparent and affordable.
