Stop wondering if you are autistic.
I can help.

Clarity. Affirmation. Understanding.

I provide online autism evaluations for adults (18+) across the United States, in both English and Spanish. Many people come to me with a simple but meaningful question: “I just want to know.” I respond to that curiosity with a respectful, validating, and evidence-based process that supports clarity and confidence.

Whether you are exploring autism for the first time or returning to questions that have been with you for years, my goal is to support your self-understanding and help you take informed, empowering next steps. My approach is rooted in cultural humility and neurodiversity-affirming care, recognizing that each person’s experience is shaped by intersecting identities and unique life paths.

This is a space where you can feel truly seen, heard, and understood—without needing to leave home. I offer secure, online video consultations designed to meet you where you are, both emotionally and geographically.

A New Service from Dr. Rebecca Martinez, Licensed Psychologist

I'm excited to announce a new offering in my practice: comprehensive ADHD evaluations for adults. As a sole practitioner, I bring a personal, thoughtful approach to every evaluation, centered on your lived experience, your goals, and your strengths. If you've been wondering whether ADHD might be part of your story, you're not alone. Many adults reach a point in life where they begin to seek clarity about how their brain works, and how to better support it.

Want to Work With Me, But Need to Use Your Insurance?

Although I’m not paneled with insurance and considered an out-of-network provider, you may still be able to work with me by submitting a Network Deficiency Request (also called a Network Gap Exception). This request asks your insurance company to cover services with me at in-network rates when no appropriate in-network providers are available to meet your specific needs.

This option is especially relevant for neurodivergent adults seeking affirming, specialized autism evaluations, particularly when your plan doesn’t include providers with the necessary expertise or approach.

If you’re considering this route, I’m happy to support you by:

  • Providing documentation of medical necessity
  • Confirming the lack of in-network alternatives
  • Offering guidance on how to submit the request to your insurer

If you're unsure whether your plan allows for this type of exception, or if you'd like help getting started, please reach out. I’m committed to helping you access the care you deserve.

Statement on Autism Misinformation and Privacy

Recent comments have suggested that autism is caused by environmental toxins, described it as an epidemic, and raised concerns about a national registry compromising privacy. As a licensed psychologist, I strongly denounce these harmful views. Autism is a complex condition, and autistic individuals have diverse abilities and potential. Neurodiversity brings unique perspectives and talents that enrich our communities. I want to reassure all my clients that your confidentiality is paramount. I will never disclose any information about you or your treatment, as it is against the law under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) and my ethical oath as a member of the American Psychological Association (APA). Your privacy and trust are my top priorities. As someone who deeply values the beauty of neurodiversity, I am dedicated to providing a safe and supportive environment for all my clients. Your unique strengths and perspectives are celebrated here, and I am here to support you every step of the way!
