Roadmap Services
Psychological Consultation & Care Planning
Before beginning therapy or assessment, every client completes Roadmap Services—a comprehensive intake process designed to ensure your care is grounded in genuine understanding, not assumptions.
This service combines a detailed clinical interview, wellness measures, and psychological screeners to create a complete picture of what you're experiencing. It functions as both your intake and a psychological consultation: a chance to explore your concerns in depth and receive informed, personalized recommendations about what kind of support would actually help.
You'll leave with a clear roadmap for your care—whether that means moving into therapy, pursuing psychological assessment, or being referred to a provider better suited to your needs. Some clients discover they don't need ongoing treatment at all, just clarity and strategies they can apply on their own.
Roadmap Services is required before therapy or assessment because it ensures that whatever comes next is the right fit for your situation.

Psychological Assessment
Understanding what's actually happening
Psychological assessment at The Mending Place is designed to answer your question with rigor and to give you information you can actually use. Whether you're seeking diagnostic clarification, exploring a specific concern, or trying to understand a pattern that has not made sense for a long time, the assessment process is built around your situation.
The assessment battery is selected based on what you need to understand. Measures are chosen, not defaulted. Findings are interpreted through the full architecture of who you are: your history, your context, your identity, and the environments you have navigated. The feedback session translates what was found into language and direction you can use—for yourself, your family, or the clinicians supporting you.
Some assessments answer a specific clinical question quickly. Others explore complexity that has accumulated over years. The right scope depends on what you're trying to understand, and that determination happens together during Roadmap Services.
Common reasons clients pursue assessment
-
Diagnostic clarification for ADHD, autism, or co-occurring concerns
-
Long-standing questions prior care has not answered
-
Documentation for accommodations or treatment planning
-
Patterns that need precise naming, not approximate language
-
Understanding before a major decision, transition, or treatment direction

Referring Provider Consultation
When your evaluation results land in a report that sits in a drawer, everyone loses. That’s why every evaluation at The Mending Place includes a direct consultation with your referring provider.
After your evaluation is complete and your feedback session is finished, I meet with your therapist, psychiatrist, or referring clinician to walk through diagnostic findings, treatment implications, and how to integrate the results into your ongoing care. This ensures your evaluation doesn’t just answer a question — it changes what happens next in your treatment.
This consultation is included in your evaluation fee at no additional cost. Available on request and with appropriate release paperwork completed.
Therapy
Assessment-informed, Culturally Grounded
Therapy at The Mending Place is structured, warm, and grounded in who you actually are—not a one-size-fits-all protocol.
Because every client begins with Roadmap Services, we don't start from scratch. We already understand your situation, your patterns, and what you're hoping to work on. That foundation allows us to set clear goals from the first session: what we're working toward, how we'll get there, and how we'll know when we're done.
This isn't open-ended, talk-forever therapy. It's focused, intentional work designed to create real movement—then let you go live your life.
How I Work
I draw from cognitive-behavioral, dialectical, relational, and narrative approaches, integrating tools based on what fits the person in front of me rather than the protocol of the week. Cultural context is not an add-on—it is part of how I read what is happening for you and part of what I'm tracking as we work.
What I Help With
-
Anxiety and depression
-
ADHD (post-diagnosis support and strategies)
-
Autism, particularly high-masking presentations
-
Burnout and occupational stress
-
Perfectionism and the patterns that come with high performance.
-
Identity exploration (racial, cultural, professional, sexuality, neurodivergence)
-
Trauma (developmental, racial, relational, and other forms)
-
Relationship patterns and interpersonal difficulties
Who I Work Well With
I tend to connect with:
-
High-achieving professionals who are accomplished but exhausted
-
First-generation college students and professionals navigating unfamiliar systems
-
Black men and women moving through predominantly white spaces
-
Clinicians seeking their own therapy with someone who understands the field
If you're used to performing, pushing through, or figuring things out alone—and you're ready for something different—this might be a good fit.
