ADHD & Autism Evaluations

Our mission is simple: to improve access to high-quality psychiatric care and psychiatric assessments. We know that early intervention changes lives, and delays in evaluation or treatment can leave families struggling without answers. By combining evidence-based psychiatry with diagnostic testing and medication management, we help patients find the clarity and support they need.

Laura LaMonica is one of the providers at Leva Psychiatry who our community has trusted with their psychiatric needs since 2016. We continue to believe that care should be performed thoughtfully, not rushed and given the attention it deserves.

We stand for care that is not only clinically sound, but also deeply personal—meeting patients where they are and walking alongside them as they grow.

During the process of building relationships with our clients, we found health disparities in our community specifically with those affected by ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) and Autism Spectrum Disorder. The lack of resources led to a delay in treatment so we decided to act because every client deserves careful, timely evaluations, and evidence-based treatment.

Our practice is built on three guiding values:

  • Access: Cutting down wait times for ADHD and autism testing so families can get answers when they need them.

  • Compassion: Creating a safe, nonjudgmental space for patients to share openly and heal at their own pace.

  • Clarity: Offering clear assessments, actionable reports, and straightforward medication management to reduce uncertainty and empower patients.
