Does Dr. Erica Aten offer online therapy in Washington State?

Yes. Dr. Erica Aten is licensed in Washington State and provides fully online therapy to adults across the state. All sessions are conducted via a secure telehealth platform, which means you can access specialized neurodivergent-affirming care from your own home — no commute, no waiting rooms, and a sensory environment you control. If you live anywhere in Washington and are looking for a psychologist who specializes in late-diagnosed autism, OCD, anxiety, or trauma, Dr. Aten is accepting new clients.

What does therapy with Dr. Erica Aten focus on?

Dr. Aten specializes in therapy for neurodivergent women and AFAB individuals, particularly those who are late-diagnosed or self-identified as autistic or AuDHD. Her clinical focus areas include OCD (using ERP and I-CBT), anxiety disorders, trauma and PTSD (using Cognitive Processing Therapy and Prolonged Exposure), and the process of integrating a neurodivergent identity after a late diagnosis. She works with a lot of high-achievers, perfectionists, and burned-out people-pleasers who are ready to stop masking and start building lives that actually fit how their brains work. She also supports perimenopausal women and parents of newly diagnosed neurodivergent children who are connecting the dots about themselves.

Does Dr. Aten offer autism or ADHD testing for adults?

Yes. Dr. Aten provides comprehensive psychological evaluations for autism and ADHD in adults, with a specific focus on women and AFAB individuals who have been missed or misdiagnosed. Her assessment process is informed by both clinical expertise and lived experience — she understands the ways autism and ADHD present differently in women, including the masking strategies that often lead to delayed diagnosis. Evaluations are available to Oregon and Washington residents via telehealth.

Is Dr. Erica Aten licensed in Oregon?

Yes. Dr. Erica Aten holds a license with the Oregon Board of Psychology (License No. 3170) and is a Licensed Clinical Psychologist in Oregon. She provides online therapy to adults throughout Oregon, including Portland and the surrounding metro area. Her services are fully virtual, so you can access specialized neurodivergent-affirming care from anywhere in the state.
