Clarity for Parents. Support for Children.

We provide fast, evidence-based evaluations for autism, ADHD, intellectual disability, learning disabilities, and other mental health concerns — with clear guidance for home and school.

Why Families Come To Us

  • You’re doing everything “right,” but daily life still feels like a struggle.
  • Your child’s development looks different — in big or subtle ways — from their peers.
  • You’re frustrated with long waitlists and vague answers.
  • You want to plan for your child’s future as you consider what adulthood can look like.

You’re not alone. Orchid Psychological Services helps families get clarity in weeks, not months – whether you’re nearby or connecting virtually.

“Dr. Margaret brings a deep sense of empathy and practicality to her work with children and families—she understands both the science and the heart of what it means to support a child’s development.”

FAQs

Do you take insurance?

We are private-pay, but provide superbills for out-of-network reimbursement.

Can I use my FSA/HSA funds for psychological testing?

Generally, yes. Psychological evaluations and medically necessary consultations are considered IRS-qualified medical expenses. You can use your FSA/HSA card to pay for our services directly at the time of your appointment. Note: While most plans cover these services, we recommend checking with your specific plan administrator to confirm your eligibility requirements.

What if my child isn’t diagnosed with ADHD, Autism, or another condition?

A diagnosis isn’t the only outcome of an evaluation. Every family receives a comprehensive report that explains your child’s strengths and challenges, along with practical recommendations for home, school, and community settings. Whether or not a diagnosis is given, you’ll walk away with a clear picture of your child’s areas for additional support and an action plan to support your child’s success.

Do you offer virtual evaluations?

Yes. We offer virtual psychological and behavioral evaluations through a secure online platform. Autism evaluations can only be completed in person.

What age range do you serve?

Toddlers (3 and up) through young adults (up to 22).
