Neurodiversity-Affirming Psychiatry Services in Seattle
A safe Seattle space where high-masking folks don't have to hide.
Let’s Find Out How Your Brain Works, Together
At Edwards Psychiatry in Seattle, we view neurodiversity as a natural, valid variation in human neurology, not a list of deficits to be pathologized.
In fact, having a neurodivergent brain is often a profound strength, bringing unique advantages like deep creative problem-solving, exceptional hyper-focus, and intuitive, outside-the-box thinking.
Whether you are seeking a formal diagnostic evaluation to unlock these strengths or looking for continuous, specialized clinical support, our team is dedicated to providing warm, trauma-informed, and culturally competent care.
Explore our specialized services below to find the exact pathway that fits your unique goals.
Different Ways We Support You: From Testing to ADHD Coaching
Psychiatric Evaluation
Our intake evaluations deeply explore your current challenges, medical history, and unique patterns to provide a foundation to your care.
ADHD Testing
Wondering if your lifelong struggles with focus, procrastination, and time management are actually undiagnosed ADHD? We offer comprehensive ADHD testing for children, teens, and adults in Seattle.
Autism Testing
If you suspect your chronic social fatigue or sensory sensitivities point toward the autism spectrum (or a dual combination of both Autism and ADHD) our affirming assessment track is designed specifically for high-masking adults and professionals.
Medication Management
If your treatment plan includes supportive prescriptions, our psychiatric team offers careful, personalized medication management. We continuously adjust your regimen to optimize focus and emotional regulation while honoring your systemic neurotype.
ADHD Coaching
A diagnosis tells you how your brain is wired, but coaching gives you the practical toolkit to thrive. Work to build sustainable systems for task organization, emotional regulation, and productivity without masking who you are. ADHD coaching is available for Individuals, Couples, Groups, and Families.
Genetic Testing
If you have tried more mental health medications than you can remember, it can feel incredibly frustrating. The truth is, your body might just have a completely unique way of processing chemicals or a natural genetic sensitivity. Genetic testing gives us better information, so that you can skip the back and forth medication trials.
Other Services Available
As part of your care, there may be costs from (optional) services or products recommended outside of Edwards Psychiatry such as genetic testing, lab testing, prescriptions, or supplements.
Prescriptions and Supplements
Before filling a prescription or purchasing supplements, we recommend checking with your pharmacy or dispensary for a cost estimate.
If you are completing saliva collection with Genomind, typical cost ranges from $0-$399 depending on insurance. Review their cost and coverage information at: https://genomind.com/cost-and-coverage/
Lab Testing
We partner with Rupa Health, Quest Diagnostics, and LabCorp to order laboratory testing. All labs are
self-pay, and pricing varies based on the specific tests ordered. You’ll receive a cost estimate in advance, and you always have the option to complete labs elsewhere if you prefer.

Let's Get You Thriving Instead of Just Surviving
Your last psychiatrist? Barely listened. Left you feeling like just another number.
You’ve wondered for years if something’s really going on with your brain. Maybe you’ve always felt “different”, like everyone else got the manual for life you never received.
Forgetting things at work, feeling overwhelmed by simple tasks, and battling exhausting mood swings has become your norm.
Sound familiar?
- Chronically tired despite sleeping enough
- Decisions feel overwhelming; constant second-guessing
- Snapping at loved ones, then feeling ashamed and guilty
- Worried about work deadlines slipping through the cracks
You’re not broken, lazy, or “too much.” Your brain just needs a different approach.

Frequently Asked Questions
You're not alone in wondering about these things. Here are honest answers to questions we hear most often.
Do I need a formal referral for psychiatric testing?
No, you do not need an outside referral to schedule an appointment. We welcome self-referrals from adults and students looking for answers. You can book your initial consultation directly with our Seattle psychiatric team today.
What is the difference between ADHD coaching and standard therapy?
Therapy helps you process emotions and past experiences, while neurodivergent coaching is action-oriented. Coaching helps you build practical, real-world systems for time management, organization, and focus without forcing you to mask your natural cognitive traits.
How does genetic testing improve medication management?
Genetic testing analyzes a simple cheek swab to map how your liver enzymes process psychiatric prescriptions.
This data provides a personalized roadmap, helping your provider select the right ADHD or anxiety medications while skipping frustrating trial-and-error cycles.
Can you provide formal documentation for work or school accommodations?
Yes. If your evaluation confirms an ADHD, Autism, or dual AuDHD diagnosis, your comprehensive clinical report serves as official documentation.
You can use this paperwork to request reasonable adjustments under the ADA for workplace or academic support.
Do you offer virtual telehealth options outside of Seattle?
Absolutely. To make neurodiversity-affirming care accessible and low-stress, all of our appointments (including intakes, medication management, coaching, and testing) are available via secure, HIPAA-compliant telehealth for anyone living in Washington State.
