About Inclusive Minds Foundation
What is Inclusive Minds Foundation (IMF)?
Inclusive Minds Foundation is a federally recognized 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to neurodivergence-affirming mental health care, community programming, and education. We support neurodivergent individuals, couples, and families through therapy, coaching, assessment, and public education. Our mission is to help people understand their neurotype, build sustainable supports, and feel more at home in themselves and their relationships.
How is IMF connected to Spectrum Services?
Spectrum Services is our sister organization and clinical partner. Many of the clinicians you see listed on our site have historically practiced through Spectrum and are transitioning into IMF’s nonprofit structure. The clinical work and values remain the same — the nonprofit model helps us expand access, scholarships, and educational programs over time.
What does “neurodivergence-affirming” mean at IMF?
We view neurodivergence as a meaningful form of human variation — not a deficit to be fixed. Our clinicians focus on understanding your lived experience, strengths, sensory and emotional profile, identity, and support needs. Diagnostic language is used as a tool for clarity and access, not as a label of limitation.
Services We Offer
What services do you provide?
We offer:
Individual therapy for adults, teens, and older children
Couples therapy (including neurodiverse and mixed-neurotype couples)
Coaching (executive functioning, identity and life navigation, parent coaching, etc.)
Autism, ADHD, OCD, and other neurodivergent evaluations (diagnostic and expanded evaluations; some neuropsychological services)
Psychiatric consultation and medication management (non-controlled substances at this time)
Know Your Neurotype™ programs: self-guided tools, groups, and professional training for neurotype understanding and integration
Do you offer assessments for autism or ADHD?
Yes. We provide neurodivergence-affirming evaluations for autism, ADHD, OCD, and related profiles. Evaluations are tailored to the questions you’re trying to answer (identity clarity, accommodations, treatment planning, etc.).
Do you offer comprehensive neuropsychological testing?
Sometimes, depending on location. We can provide fuller neuropsychological evaluations when clinically appropriate, but certain tests (like detailed IQ/achievement batteries or adaptive functioning measures) may require in-person components depending on age and setting. We’ll help you figure out the right fit based on your goals.
Do you offer psychiatric medication management?
Yes. We have a psychiatric nurse practitioner on our team who can provide medication consultation and ongoing management. At this time, we are not able to prescribe controlled substances, but we can support medication planning and coordinate care thoughtfully.
Do you offer speech therapy, OT, or ABA?
We do not provide speech therapy, occupational therapy, or ABA directly. However, we’re happy to refer you to trusted providers who work neurodivergence-affirmingly.
Who We Serve + Where We Work
What ages do you work with?
We work across the lifespan, but most commonly with adolescents and adults. For younger children, we’ll talk through whether telehealth is clinically appropriate and help you find the best match.
Where are your clinicians licensed?
Our clinicians are licensed across several states, including New York (NY), California (CA), New Jersey (NJ), Maine (ME), and Pennsylvania (PA), with additional licenses held by individual providers. Our psychologists also participate in PsyPact, which allows them to offer telehealth in most PsyPact participating states.
Because licensure varies by clinician and service type, telehealth can only be provided in states where your specific provider is authorized to practice. When you reach out, we’ll ask what state you’re located in and match you with someone who can legally and clinically support you there.
Do you offer telehealth?
Yes. Most services are offered via secure telehealth. We’ll confirm whether telehealth is clinically appropriate for your needs and age group.
Do you offer in-person sessions?
At this time, our services are primarily telehealth. In-person components may be arranged if clinically necessary for certain evaluations or younger clients, depending on location. Some coaching and group activities are also available in-person.
Getting Started
How do I get started?
Just reach out through our contact form or email. We’ll ask a few questions about what you’re looking for and your location, then connect you with a clinician for a complimentary 15-minute consultation when possible.
Do you have a waitlist?
We don’t maintain formal waitlists. Instead, we connect you with currently available clinicians who match your needs. If a specific provider isn’t available, we’ll offer strong alternatives. There may be a waitlist for reduced fee services.
Can I choose my clinician?
Yes. We’ll suggest a few options based on your goals, and you can choose who feels like the best fit.
What if I’m not sure what I need — therapy, coaching, or an evaluation?
Totally okay. Tell us what you’re experiencing and what you’re hoping for. We’ll help you decide whether therapy, coaching, an evaluation, or a combined approach makes the most sense.
Rates + Reduced-Fee Program
What are your rates?
Rates vary by clinician and service type. Most therapy and coaching sessions fall between $200–$350/hour. Psychiatric medication management is typically $400/hour. Evaluation work is billed hourly and usually requires multiple hours (see below).
Why do you charge standard private-practice rates if you’re a nonprofit?
We operate with a mixed-access model. Standard-rate services allow us to sustain high-quality care, pay clinicians fairly, and reinvest into scholarships and reduced-fee slots. All revenue supports our nonprofit mission: expanding access, education, and community programming for neurodivergent people.
Do you offer reduced-fee or sliding-scale spots?
Yes. We reserve limited reduced-fee spots through a structured application process. This helps us allocate reduced-fee care fairly and sustainably, without putting clinicians in the position of making financial decisions in session.
How do I apply for a reduced fee?
Just let us know you’d like the application and we’ll send it over. Approval depends on availability and financial need. If approved, the reduced rate applies to new and/or continuing services as outlined in your plan.
Insurance + Superbills
Do you take insurance?
We are out-of-network and do not bill insurance directly. We can provide a superbill so you can submit for possible reimbursement if you have out-of-network benefits.
What’s a superbill?
A superbill is a detailed receipt that includes the clinical and billing information insurance companies typically require for reimbursement. You submit it to your insurance plan directly.
Can you help me figure out out-of-network coverage?
Yes. If helpful, we can connect you with a third-party service that can check your benefits and walk you through the reimbursement process.
Evaluation Details
How long do diagnostic autism/ADHD/OCD evaluations take?
It depends on what you’re needing, but most diagnostic evaluations take about 10–16+ hours total, including interviews, questionnaires, clinical scoring, collateral review when relevant, report writing, and feedback.
How much do evaluations cost?
Evaluation work is billed hourly. Rates vary by clinician and range from $250/hour for working with a graduate student extern, to $550/hour. We’ll share an estimate up front once we understand your goals.
What kinds of outcomes do you provide?
You’ll receive:
a clear diagnostic and narrative formulation (if appropriate),
a strengths-based understanding of your neurotype, and
tailored recommendations for supports, accommodations, and next steps
- referrals for therapy and coaching, if appropriate.
Scheduling + Policies
How often are sessions?
Most clients meet weekly or biweekly, but frequency depends on your goals, budget, and clinician availability.
What is your cancellation policy?
Cancellations with less than 24 hours’ notice are typically charged at the full session rate.
Do you offer brief or one-time consultations?
Yes. Many clinicians offer brief consultations or targeted short-term work depending on fit and goals.
Privacy + Safety
Is telehealth secure?
Yes. We use HIPAA-compliant platforms for all clinical services and protect your data carefully.
What if I’m in crisis?
IMF is not an emergency service. If you are in immediate danger or need urgent help, please call 911, go to your nearest emergency room, or contact a crisis line in your area. If you’re an existing client, you can also let your clinician know what’s happening as soon as you’re safe.
Know Your Neurotype™ Initiative
What is Know Your Neurotype™?
Know Your Neurotype™ is our education and community program designed to help people understand their cognitive, sensory, emotional, and relational profile through a strengths-based lens. It includes self-guided tools, groups, individualized mapping sessions, and professional training.
Do I need a formal diagnosis to participate?
Not at all. You don’t need a diagnosis to learn about your neurotype. Many people use the program to build clarity and self-understanding regardless of diagnostic status.
Is Know Your Neurotype™ therapy?
It can complement therapy, but it’s not the same thing. Think of it as a structured learning and integration framework that can stand alone or support your therapeutic work.
Contact + Next Steps
How do I contact you?
Email us or use the contact form on our website. If the contact form ever misbehaves, feel free to send a direct email to info@inclusivemindsfoundation.org we’ll take care of you either way.
What happens after I reach out?
We’ll respond with a few quick questions about what you’re seeking and your location, share clinician options and rates, and help you set up a complimentary consultation.
