The psychologists and therapists at Horizon provide counseling and therapy services to children, adolescents and adults, as well as psychological testing services for the evaluation of ADHD, autism, and learning disabilities.
Taking the first step is the hardest part. A consultation lets you share what's on your mind and find out if we're the right fit.
We match you with a therapist who understands your goals and can help you move forward.
Work toward real change with a clear plan designed around your life and needs.
Autism spectrum disorder is more common than many families realize. The CDC estimates that 1 in 36 U.S. children has been identified with autism spectrum disorder, a figure that has risen alongside improved recognition and expanded diagnostic criteria. In a community like Cornelius — with growing school populations and a diverse range of family backgrounds — children who present as bright but socially complicated, intensely focused on narrow interests, or persistently misread by teachers and peers may be waiting longer than necessary for an evaluation that could reframe everything.

Horizon Psychological Services conducts autism evaluations using gold-standard tools and a multidisciplinary approach. Our assessments draw on structured clinical observation, caregiver and teacher input, developmental history, and standardized instruments to produce a comprehensive picture of how a child is functioning across social, communication, sensory, and behavioral domains. We evaluate children of all ages and recognize that autism presents very differently depending on a child’s profile, gender, and history.
We serve families throughout the Lake Norman region from our Cornelius office. Following an autism evaluation at Horizon, families receive a detailed written report and a full feedback session that explains findings in clear language, outlines eligibility for services, and provides practical guidance on next steps — including school-based supports, therapy options, and community resources. You will leave with both clarity and a direction forward.
