Dr. Eliana Cohen, C.Psych.
Clinical Psychologist Specializing in Adult Autism & Complex Assessments
She specializes in working with complex and high-functioning individuals, offering assessments that go beyond labels-providing clarity, understanding, and direction.
Who This Assessment Is For
Many adults reach a point where persistent patterns begin to demand explanation. They may have succeeded academically or professionally while still struggling with social nuance, emotional regulation, or chronic exhaustion from masking.
Adults often pursue an assessment to:
- Understand longstanding social or sensory differences
- Clarify whether autism, ADHD, or anxiety better explains their experiences
- Obtain formal documentation for workplace or academic accommodations
- Make more informed decisions about relationships, career, and mental health care
For many, the goal is not a label. It is clarity.
A Specialist Approach to Adult Diagnosis
Dr. Eliana Cohen has over two decades of clinical experience and extensive training in neuropsychology and diagnostics. Every assessment is conducted directly by her and tailored to the individual rather than delivered through a standardized, high-volume model.
Her evaluations are designed to detect subtle or complex presentations that are often missed in brief screening, particularly in high-functioning adults who have developed strong compensatory strategies.
What an Adult ASD Assessment Includes
The adult autism assessment is a structured, multi-stage process designed to ensure both diagnostic accuracy and practical usefulness.
Comprehensive Autism Diagnostic Assessment
This most in-depth option covers autism, other clinical issues (such as anxiety, depression, and PTSD), and personality variables using highly refined and validated tests that are accepted in courts. By examining the “whole picture,” this assessment supports detailed treatment planning, risk assessment where needed, and a nuanced understanding of your personality and coping patterns.
Cost of Comprehensive Evaluation: $4,290
Targeted Autism Diagnostic Assessment
This option focuses on ASD while also evaluating other relevant clinical issues, such as mood and anxiety, but does not include formal personality testing. It is ideal for adults who want a thorough autism assessment and clear recommendations without the additional depth of personality measures.
Cost of Targeted Evaluation: $3,900 (most popular)
Cognitive / Intelligence Testing
Many autistic adults have distinctive intellectual strengths as well as specific areas of weakness. Cognitive or IQ testing can highlight these patterns and guide better vocational and educational decisions. Understanding your cognitive profile can help you select roles and environments that align with your strengths and minimize areas of strain.
Cost of IQ testing: $3,900
Ultra Targeted Autism Evaluation
This is a highly streamlined version of the ASD assessment, used only in specific situations where financial constraints are a significant barrier. It offers a focused diagnostic opinion with a briefer report and fewer ancillary measures, while still maintaining professional standards of care.
Cost of Ultra Targeted Autism Evaluation: $2340-$2730
ADHD diagnostic addition
Autism and ADHD frequently co-occur, and many adults benefit from assessing both at the same time. A discounted ADHD diagnostic add-on can be combined with your ASD assessment so that the final report addresses both conditions and their treatment implications. A confirmed ADHD diagnosis can open access to targeted treatment, accommodations, and tools that significantly improve daily functioning and quality of life. The final report is usually shared with your family doctor, and Dr. Cohen can collaborate with your physician to help you start appropriate treatment.
Cost of ADHD diagnostic addition: $975
What You Gain From a Comprehensive Evaluation
A thorough assessment provides more than a yes-or-no answer. It offers a structured understanding of how you process information, relate to others, and respond to stress and sensory input.
Clients often leave with:
- a clearer explanation of lifelong experiences
- greater self-understanding and self-compassion
- practical strategies tailored to their cognitive style
- documentation suitable for medical, academic, or work
For many adults, this clarity becomes a turning point in personal and professional decision-making.
Confidential, Professional, and Discreet
Many individuals seeking autism assessment are professionals or public-facing individuals who value privacy. Dr. Cohen’s practice operates with strict confidentiality standards and a low-volume model of care to ensure discretion and individualized attention.
Her approach is direct, strategic, and respectful. The goal is not to judge or label, but to understand patterns accurately and translate that understanding into meaningful next steps.

Have questions? We’ve got answers.
How long does the adult autism assessment take?
Most assessments are completed over several sessions scheduled across a few weeks. The timeline depends on the complexity of the case and the need for additional developmental information.
Will I receive a formal diagnosis if I meet criteria?
Yes. If diagnostic criteria are met, the final report includes a formal diagnosis consistent with current clinical guidelines and documentation suitable for academic or workplace accommodations.
What if the assessment shows I am not autistic?
A negative result is still clinically useful. The evaluation often identifies alternative explanations such as ADHD, anxiety, or other cognitive or personality patterns and provides targeted recommendations.
Is the written report accepted by universities and employers?
Yes. The report is designed to meet professional and institutional standards and can be used to support accommodation requests or further medical consultation.
Do I need a referral to book an assessment?
No referral is required. Adults can contact the practice directly to request an initial consultation.
