Launching Youth Into Independence
Ryne Pulido, PhD / Psychologist

Assessments and Therapy for ADHD, Autism, and Anxiety/OCD

Parenting is hard.

If your neurodivergent child struggles with overwhelming anger or debilitating anxiety, OCD, or avoidance, you play the parenting game on the hardest difficulty.

Of course, like any brave parent, you took your child to the doctor and spoke to the school. While helpful, they only give you pieces of advice. You feel like something is missing.

You’re missing instructions.

Have you ever tried to build a Lego set without the instructions? It’s pretty tough - even though you have all the right pieces.

Good instructions are step-by-step, prioritized plans that drive toward a specific goal.

My name is Ryne Pulido, and I am passionate about helping young people live rich, full, and meaningful lives.

I guide brave parents and their children in making plans and taking action that avoids wasted time and resources and gives them a sense of direction.

Services for ADHD, Procrastination, Anxiety, OCD, & Autism

  • Psychological Evaluations*

    You need more than a label. A comprehensive psychological evaluation evaluates difficulties and strengths.

    I'll provide your with specific, prioritized recommendations for services, school accommodations, and home strategies.

    Parents often seek me out for questions about autism, ADHD/ADD, dyslexia, dyscalculia, dysgraphia, OCD, and chronic emotional disorders, such as borderline personality disorder (BPD).

  • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy

    Young people do well when they can. Skill deficits cause emotional and behavioral problems. They are "can't do" problems.

    CBT focuses on teaching skills that are easy to learn and effective.

    Parents seek my help with anger management, anxiety and OCD, school stress, avoidance and procrastination, living with autism, mastering ADHD, and “failure to launch.”

  • Parent-Led Treatment

    Let's face it. Some young people do not want to go to therapy, and other youth struggle to apply skills and insight to their real lives.

    Parent-focused treatment can be an effective alternative to improve your child's anxiety, OCD, avoidance, aggression, and school difficulties.

    Your parenting isn't the problem - it's a powerful solution. Let's focus on what you can control - your behavior.

    Parents often seek my help with pathological demand avoidance, oppositional and defiant behavior, social withdrawal and isolation, school refusal, mental health care refusal, screen addiction, and "failure to launch" (dependent young adults).
