At Closer Horizons, we provide evaluations for children, teens, and adults that go beyond diagnosis to deliver clear, actionable insight.

ADHD & Executive Functioning Diagnostic clarification with personalized recommendations and medication considerations (virtual testing available).
Autism Evaluations Comprehensive, medically recognized evaluations for children and adults— including those who are high functioning or have been historically overlooked.
Anxiety, Depression, & Mood Diagnostic insight with clear recommendations for support and treatment planning, including collaboration with psychiatrists and physicians.
Psychoeducational Evaluations Assessment of learning differences including dyslexia and challenges in reading, writing, and math.
School-Based Evaluations & Updates Documentation for IEPs, 504 plans, private school, and college accommodations.
Evaluations are led by Dr. Guarnieri, a licensed psychologist and school psychologist specializing in neurodiversity across the lifespan.
With over 14 years of experience in schools and more than 10,000 hours of assessment experience, she brings deep clinical expertise and a nuanced understanding of high-functioning and often overlooked presentations.

Intake & History – We begin with a detailed consultation to understand your concerns, review relevant history, and clarify goals for the evaluation.
Comprehensive Testing – You (or your child) will complete a series of standardized assessments in a calm, supportive environment. Testing is typically completed in one extended session or across 1-2 days.
Feedback & Integration – We meet to review results in depth— connecting findings to real-life experiences at school, work, and in relationships.
Ongoing Support & Advocacy – You’ll receive clear recommendations and guidance on how to use your results effectively, including support with accommodations and advocacy if needed.
