J. Alexander Douglas, CCSS Ambassador
He/Him/His
Greetings! Call me J. Alex. I’m a Community Support Worker (CSW), and I’m here to offer advocacy and peer support to our clientele. I was first diagnosed on the autism spectrum at age 31 and have since used my lived experience as a platform for public speaking on neurodiversity. I was a NM-LEND fellow in 2020 – 2021, where my area of focus aimed at supporting adults as well as teens transtitioning to adulthood, who seek to lead a more independent lifestyle. I joined GD Psych Services in 2023, where I’ve been supporting individuals and families by connecting them to resources in the community, as well as educating them from an “actually autistic” perspective.
Autism Testing
We offer comprehensive autism evaluations for children, teens, and adults. Our assessments are designed to understand how an individual communicates, interacts socially, processes information, and navigates daily life.
Using gold standard tools and compassionate approach, our team works to provide clarity for individuals and families seeking answers. Whether you’re pursuing a diagnosis for school support, treatment planning, or personal understanding, we’re here to guide you through the process with care and expertise.
Neurocognitive Testing
Our neurocognitive evaluations are designed to assess memory, attention, language, problem solving, and other aspect of brain functioning. These assesments are often used to identify or clarify conditions such as dementia, Alzheimer’s disease, and other cognitive changes related to aging, injury, or medical conditions.
ADHD Testing
We provide thorough evaluations to assess for Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) in children, teens and adults. Our process looks beyond just symptoms—focusing on attention, impulse control, organization, and overall functioning at home, school, or work. Using evidence-based tools and clinical expertise, we help determine whether ADHD is present and provide clear recommendations to support daily success. Whether you’re seeking answers for academic support, workplace accomodations, or personal insight, we’re here to help with compassion and clarity.
Forensic Evaluations
These interviews between a patient and professionally trained counselor are used for legal proceedings, and to determine a legal course of action toward or on behalf of that individual. These psychological evaluations are assessed in accordance with the current legal standards and are held to the highest standards. They can involve patients who are applying for benefits for certain conditions, to assist in criminal or civil cases, or to evaluate a patient who is currently involved in a legal trial.
Immigration Evaluations
Whether you need hardship, VAWA, or asylum evaluations, at GD Psych Services, we got you covered. The benefits you get from an immigration evaluation are massive. Generally, only about 35% of asylum cases get approved, but with immigration evaluation, the approval rate rises to 90%. If you want to seek asylum in the US, the best step you can take is to seek an evaluation. At GD Psych Services, our experienced staff will provide you with all the help you need to make your transition more comfortable. Our assessment should help you ensure you get safe and successful immigration to the United States.
