Assessments
Sometimes the most important step is gaining a deeper understanding of yourself. Our assessment services are designed to provide clarity, answer questions, and help identify supports that align with your goals, experiences, and needs.
Gender Affirming Letters
Compassionate, affirming assessments and letters supporting access to gender-affirming care.
At And Still We Rise, we believe that people are the experts on their own identities. We provide gender affirming assessments and letters for individuals seeking medical interventions related to gender dysphoria, including hormone therapy and gender-affirming surgeries.
Our approach is grounded in the informed consent model and the World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH) Standards of Care. We seek not to act as gatekeepers, but to support individuals in navigating systems that often create unnecessary barriers to care.
Individuals who seek this service at ASWR can expect a collaborative, affirming, and respectful process centered on dignity, autonomy, and accessibility. Our goal is to provide the documentation needed while honoring the full humanity, agency, and lived experiences of those we serve.
Mental Health Clarity Assessments
When the answer isn't clear, we help uncover the patterns, strengths, and challenges shaping your experience.
Understanding ourselves can be difficult when we're navigating systems that were never designed with all of us in mind.
Many experiences (e.g., ADHD, anxiety, trauma, depression, burnout, and executive functioning challenges) can look similar on the surface while requiring very different forms of support. Without clarity, it can be easy to internalize struggle, question yourself, or feel stuck.
Our Mental Health Clarity Assessments provide a space to slow down, take a deeper look, and better understand what may be contributing to the challenges you're experiencing. Through a thoughtful, trauma-informed process, we explore your history, experiences, strengths, and concerns to help identify patterns and provide meaningful recommendations for next steps. Whether you're seeking diagnostic clarity, exploring neurodiversity, pursuing accommodations, or looking for a deeper understanding of yourself, we're here to support you in finding answers that honor the full complexity of who you are.
Adult ADHD Assessments
Explore whether ADHD may be contributing to challenges with focus, organization, motivation, and daily life.
ADHD can impact many areas of life, including work, school, relationships, time management, emotional regulation, and self-confidence. For many adults (particularly women, people of color, and individuals with histories of trauma) ADHD can go unrecognized for years, leading people to question themselves rather than receive the support they need.
At And Still We Rise, we provide comprehensive ADHD assessments that help adults better understand their experiences and determine whether ADHD may be contributing to the challenges they are facing. Our assessment process includes a clinical interview, standardized assessment measures, and a personalized feedback session where findings, recommendations, and next steps are reviewed collaboratively.
We seek not simply to determine whether someone meets criteria for ADHD, but to provide meaningful insight into how they learn, work, navigate relationships, and move through the world. Individuals who seek this service at ASWR can expect a trauma-informed, culturally responsive, and affirming experience grounded in curiosity, dignity, and care.
