Emiley Morton DSW, LISW-S, LCSW
Hi, I’m Dr. Morton- a doctor of social work deeply passionate about affirming testing. I specialize in adult diagnostic assessments for Autism and ADHD, and this work is one of the most meaningful aspects of my clinical practice. I approach every evaluation with care, precision, and deep respect for the vulnerability and courage this process often requires.
As a late-diagnosed neurodivergent person myself, I have experienced the ways in which individuals like us are overlooked in traditional diagnostic settings. Co-occurring concerns such as anxiety, depression, trauma, and burnout can obscure neurodivergent traits, particularly for those who have spent years adapting to systems that were never designed with them in mind. I am committed to delivering high-quality, comprehensive evaluations that consider the full context of your lived experience. I am committed to accuracy in your testing and answers, and to collaborating with you in the process so you feel truly seen.
I love to work with individuals who have done their own research, explored self-diagnosis, or found resonance through social media or peer communities. I welcome the insights you bring, whether it's a TikTok that helped something click, a screening tool you completed online, or reflections from your own exploration.
Cultural identity, gender, and sexuality are integral to how we experience and express neurodivergence. I bring an intersectional lens to every evaluation, with specialized experience working with LGBTQ+ clients and individuals from diverse racial, cultural, and linguistic backgrounds. These factors are central to an accurate and respectful diagnostic process.
In my assessment room you can expect a peaceful environment: lots of plants, comfortable and size-inclusive seating, soft natural lighting, and most importantly a super sweet golden retriever who comes to work with me every day as part of his training to be a professional therapy dog. Some clients like to hold him, pet him, play with him when they need to decompress, or enjoy his presence laying peacefully nearby. He supports a calm and relaxed testing environment and since he joined me in the office, I have seen a significant decrease in anxiety around the testing process for my clients.
The full cost of assessment with me is $1600, with the option to use a short-term payment plan if needed, or a discount of $1450 should you choose to pay up front. I take your investment very seriously, and as someone who has made my own financial and emotional investment in testing, I seek to provide exceptional care that honors the financial and emotional labor involved in the testing process. Every element of my process has been carefully designed to be thorough, individualized, and clinically sound. My assessment process has been additionally crafted and honed under the exceptional supervision of our assessment director Dr. Chavez-Frigon. Our intention is to offer an experience rooted in both medical credibility and personal respect-one I would trust for myself or my loved ones. If you’re seeking clarity, language, or validation, I would be honored to support you through that journey.
Note: I offer in-person assessment in Cincinnati, Ohio. Although I am licensed in Ohio, Florida, Washington, and Kentucky, I am only offering virtual testing to individuals who are within the state of Ohio at the time of assessment..
