We're honored to share some exciting news with our community.
Lotus Bloom Psychology has been recognized by Medical Care Review as the Top Neuropsychological Testing & Individual Therapy Practice 2026. The publication also featured our founder and CEO, Dr. Ashley Houchin, in an article highlighting our unique approach to neurodivergent care and the mission that drives everything we do.
A Recognition That Reflects Our Mission
Awards are meaningful, but what matters most to us is why we received this recognition.
According to Medical Care Review, the award recognizes the trust Lotus Bloom Psychology has earned through nominations from its subscribers and an evaluation by a panel of medical experts, industry peers, thought leaders, and its editorial board.
For our team, this recognition belongs to every family who has trusted us with their journey, every child who has discovered new strengths, every adult who has finally found answers, and every parent who has felt seen and supported.
Building a Connected Model of Neurodivergent Care
In the featured article, Dr. Houchin discusses what makes Lotus Bloom Psychology different.
Too often, families find themselves repeating their story to multiple providers, trying to connect the dots between evaluations, therapy, school recommendations, and home life.
We believe care should feel connected from the very beginning.
That's why we've built an integrated model where psychological evaluations, therapy, and parent support work together rather than in separate silos. Our clinicians collaborate, assessment findings directly inform treatment, and families remain active partners throughout the process.
As Dr. Houchin shares in the article:
"We take a highly personalized approach to the care that we provide. From the very first interaction, we work to understand each client's preferences, needs and circumstances so we can connect them with the right provider."
More Than a Diagnosis
Comprehensive psychological testing is about much more than answering the question, "Does my child have ADHD?" or "Am I autistic?"
Our evaluations help uncover:
Cognitive strengths
Executive functioning skills
Learning profiles
Emotional and behavioral patterns
Areas where support can make the greatest difference
This deeper understanding allows us to create practical recommendations for home, school, work, and everyday life that are individualized to each client. As highlighted in the article, our goal is to understand the whole person, not simply assign a diagnosis.
A Neurodiversity-Affirming Approach
Everything we do is grounded in a neurodiversity-affirming philosophy.
Rather than trying to change who someone is, we work to understand how their brain works, celebrate their strengths, and develop strategies that help them thrive.
Whether we're working with children, teens, or adults, our focus is on building skills, reducing barriers, and improving quality of life in ways that respect each person's unique way of experiencing the world.
Supporting Families Every Step of the Way
We know that meaningful progress doesn't stop when a therapy session or evaluation ends.
Parents and caregivers play an essential role, which is why we prioritize collaboration, education, and ongoing support. From regular communication with clinicians to our free monthly parent support group, we aim to give families practical tools and confidence as they support their loved ones.
Expanding Access to Care
The article also highlights one of our biggest priorities: making high-quality neuropsychological care more accessible.
In addition to serving clients in our Lombard office, we provide comprehensive virtual psychological evaluations for clients in 43 states through PSYPACT, allowing more individuals and families to access evidence-based assessment without needing to travel long distances.
Thank You
We are incredibly grateful to Medical Care Review for this recognition, and even more grateful to the families, referral partners, schools, physicians, and community members who place their trust in us every day.
This award isn't simply a milestone for our practice. It's a reflection of the compassionate, collaborative care our entire team works to provide every single day.
As we continue to grow, our mission remains the same: Helping neurodivergent individuals and their families find answers, gain clarity, and build on their strengths.
