Cathy Longa

Hey there! I’m Dr. Cathy Longa (she/her), a licensed psychologist in Florida and authorized to work with clients in most states through PSYPACT. I have over 15 years of experience providing psychological evaluations related to autism and other neurodevelopmental differences across the lifespan. My goal is to help clients feel at ease while we take a clear, thoughtful look at their experiences and the patterns they may reveal.

What truly draws me to psychological evaluations is a curiosity about the many ways people make sense of the world. My clients are generally open to exploring how their unique patterns and interactions shape their lives. For many, the process of stepping back and seeing their experiences more clearly can be incredibly valuable. That process of discovery is something I value, and it’s what keeps me committed to this work.

To me, being affirming means recognizing neurodiversity as a natural part of the human experience. My aim is to create a supportive space where clients feel comfortable sharing their story, without judgment. The evaluation process is clear, collaborative, and evidence-based. We focus on understanding their history and experiences through in-depth conversation, exploring both their strengths and any areas of difficulty. My hope is that clients will leave with a better understanding of themselves, their positive traits, and their unique needs.
