Overview
Autism Diagnosis & Assessment in Richmond
A mom-owned boutique practice in Richmond, TX, Brightside Psychology serves children, teens, and adults across the west Houston area with comprehensive psychoeducational evaluations and therapy. Licensed psychologists carry out every evaluation — covering autism, ADHD, learning disabilities, twice-exceptional learners, anxiety, and depression. Families from Katy, Fulshear, Sugar Land, Cypress, and Sugar Land routinely make the drive for the small-practice depth of care here.
Best for
Families who want a thorough, relationship-first evaluation for a child or teen (ages 2–18) — especially for autism, ADHD, or learning differences — and who can work with a self-pay model.
Their approach
Each child gets dedicated rapport-building time before and during testing, so results reflect genuine ability rather than test-day anxiety. Evaluations close with separate feedback sessions for parents and children, and therapy clients have progress tracked session by session.
What to expect
Start with a free 15-minute phone call; if it's a fit, the intake appointment is booked before that call ends. Brightside is self-pay only — evaluations run $800–$3,000 depending on scope, therapy is $195 per session, and HSA/FSA cards and superbills are accepted.
