Getting to know Jessica Ovalle
*The practice does not accept Medicaid.*
Serving the New York, NY community, Jessica Ovalle, LMHC, provides comprehensive pre-surgical psychological evaluations and diagnostic assessments for autism and ADHD.
The practice offers a highly specialized, concierge-style evaluation experience for individuals seeking surgical clearance, diagnostic clarity, or formal documentation. Pre-surgical services include bariatric surgery evaluations, spinal cord stimulator (SCS) evaluations, chronic pain management assessments, and cosmetic procedure clearances.
Ms. Ovalle holds a Master’s degree in Mental Health Counseling from the University at Buffalo and is trained in administering structured, evidence-based evaluations. She utilizes validated tools, including the MBMD (Millon Behavioral Medicine Diagnostic), to ensure consistency, accuracy, and alignment with medical and surgical program requirements.
For autism and ADHD evaluations, she utilizes gold-standard instruments such as the ADOS-2 and ADI-R to provide thorough, developmentally informed diagnostic clarity.
Her approach is structured, detail-oriented, and patient-centered, with an emphasis on professionalism, clear communication, and timely reporting. She is committed to creating a supportive and comprehensive evaluation experience.

What is your typical process for working with clients?
My work with pre-surgical and autism evaluation clients is grounded in a comprehensive, compassionate, and evidence-based approach. I understand that surgical procedures are not simply medical decisions—they are significant life transitions that can impact emotional well-being, relationships, identity, and daily functioning. Similarly, seeking an autism evaluation is not just about obtaining a diagnosis, but about gaining clarity, understanding patterns, and identifying meaningful supports.
As part of the evaluation process, you will complete structured psychological measures tailored to your needs. For pre-surgical evaluations—including bariatric surgery, spinal cord stimulator (SCS), chronic pain management, and cosmetic procedures—I utilize evidence-based tools such as the MBMD (Millon Behavioral Medicine Diagnostic) to assess emotional functioning, coping strategies, stress management, and overall readiness.
For autism evaluations, I use gold-standard instruments such as the ADOS-2 and ADI-R, along with comprehensive clinical interviews and structured measures, to ensure diagnostic clarity aligned with DSM-5-TR criteria.
Evaluations are available both in person and via secure telehealth, depending on clinical appropriateness.
During pre-surgical assessments, I evaluate emotional readiness, support systems, behavioral patterns, and the ability to adapt to long-term lifestyle changes. For autism evaluations, I examine developmental history, social communication, sensory processing, emotional regulation, and overall functioning.
My goal is not to “pass or fail,” but to provide clarity, informed recommendations, and a supportive, professional experience. All evaluations are conducted collaboratively, without judgment, and in alignment with medical and diagnostic standards.
