Virtual vs. In-Person Autism Evaluations in New York: What’s the Difference?

We understand how busy life can be in New York. That’s why we offer both in-person Autism testing at our offices and telehealth Autism evaluations across the entire state.

Regardless of the format, each evaluation follows the same comprehensive process, including a detailed clinical interview, standardized assessments, and a feedback session with diagnostic impressions and personalized recommendations.

The key differences are:

  • In-Person Autism Diagnostic Evaluations: Conducted at our New York, New York office, allowing for direct, face-to-face observation. Many clients find this format more engaging and comfortable.

  • Virtual Autism Diagnostic Evaluations: Conducted via telehealth, offering the same high-quality assessment from the comfort of your home. Clients often appreciate the convenience and reduced travel time.

Virtual Autism Therapy or In-Person Autism Therapy in New York

Our treatment options include:

  • Neurodivergence-AffirmingTherapy for

    Our individual autism therapy sessions are designed for autistic and ADHD adults and teens seeking greater self-understanding and emotional regulation. Therapy focuses on:

    • Psychoeducation and Identity Integration

      Building a deep understanding of your neurodivergent profile — reframing past struggles (such as social difficulties, being misunderstood, or academic burnout) not as personal shortcomings but as natural outcomes of living in a world not designed for your brain.

    • Processing the Toll of Autism Masking and Camouflaging

      Exploring the emotional and physical toll of suppressing your authentic traits. Therapy provides a safe, validating space to process exhaustion, anxiety, and disconnection while learning to unmask safely and gradually.

    • Developing an “Energy Budget”

      Learning to identify which activities, environments, and relationships drain or restore your energy — and creating routines that respect your capacity. This helps reduce burnout and improve daily functioning.

    • Building an Authentic Sense of Self as an Autistic Adult

      Supporting clients in embracing their natural ways of thinking, communicating, and self-regulating (including stimming, sensory tools, and special interests) while fostering genuine relationships.

“Before my friend recommended the Thriving Wellness Center, I had worked with a couple of therapists in New York trying to understand why I never could fit in with other people. Conversations have always been tough. Receiving an Autism Evaluation and diagnosis with Leila has helped me understand myself better. I wish I would have done this along time ago.”
