A transdiagnostic neuroaffirming assessment is a psychological evaluation that moves beyond traditional, categorical diagnoses to focus on an individual's unique neurotype, strengths, and underlying processes across multiple conditions. Within this assessment experience, we'll focus on identifying common underlying factors that drive symptoms across different psychological conditions. This allows us to hone in on and assess common issues like emotion dysregulation, avoidance behaviors, cognitive inflexibility, and rumination without the limitation of needing to fit neatly into existing diagnostic labels. Inherent within this approach is an appreciation for the dimensionality of human experience, where all mental health challenges are viewed on a spectrum or continuum, rather than as separate, discrete categories. This leaves room for the reality that conditions affecting one's mental health often overlap, co-occur, and are are deeply shaped by environmental context.

Readiness Letters are written within an informed consent model, per WPATH SOC 8. This evaluation will be a one-time 45-60min meeting, and will receive a completed letter within 1 week of this appointment. Turnaround time as quickly as same day can be arranged in most instances.

Requirements for letters often include data about mental health stability or medication regimen, but can include specific phrasing or elements as requested by the consulting surgeon or insurance payer. Having any unique requirements ready will be helpful to expedite the letter writing process.
