Autism Assessment, Neurodiversity Support, and Mental Health Care in Brooklyn Heights
Expert Psychological Assessment, Differential Diagnosis, and Therapy for Autism, ADHD, Learning, and Mental Health Concerns
At his Brooklyn Heights practice, Dr. Aaron A. Gubi provides comprehensive neuropsychological and psychoeducational evaluations with a focus on individual and developmental differences. Serving toddlers through adults, I offer individualized, evidence-based assessments that clarify neurodevelopmental, learning, and social-communication strengths and challenges, and guide tailored recommendations.
What we evaluate:
Developmental and intellectual functioning
Attention and executive functioning (including ADHD)
Autism spectrum conditions and social-communication profiles
Learning disabilities (reading, writing, math) and academic skills
Language processing and receptive/expressive abilities
Memory, processing speed, and visual-spatial skills
Social-emotional and mental health well-being
Eligibility documentation for Early Intervention (EI), CPSE, and CSE; IEP, 504, and school transition planning
OPWDD eligibility and adult disability (psychological evaluations)
Evaluations for NYC private school placements, including specialized and therapeutic schools
Standardized testing accommodations (SAT, GRE, LSAT, and others)
Workplace accommodation evaluations for adults
My approach:
Person-entered: Assessments are personalized and tailored to the individual's developmental level, needs, and goals.
Evidence-based: Use of validated standardized measures, clinical observation, and caregiver/teacher interviews.
Multimodal: Integration of cognitive tasks, academic testing, behavior rating scales, and developmental history.
Solution-focused: Reports translate findings into clear, actionable recommendations for schools, families, individuals, and service providers.
Psychological and Neuropsychological Evaluations
Each comprehensive evaluation includes a detailed written report with diagnostic findings, evidence-based recommendations, and documentation formatted to meet the specific requirements of educational institutions, testing agencies, employers, and service providers, including NYC DOE, OPWDD, Early Intervention systems, colleges, or workplaces.
Psychotherapy and Counseling Services
Individualized therapy for adolescents and adults navigating anxiety, life transitions, and relational challenges, grounded in respect for developmental and individual differences, drawing on CBT, DBT, psychodynamic, and acceptance-based approaches.
Why Families and Individuals Choose This Practice
Many families and individuals come to this practice after feeling stuck elsewhere. Common reasons include:
The frustration of a “wait and see” approach when something feels different
Having seen multiple providers without a clear diagnosis or plan
The need for documentation that schools, employers, or other institutions will accept
Uncertainty about whether the underlying concern is autism, ADHD, anxiety, or something else
Feeling like therapy alone hasn’t answered the question of what’s really going on
