Annie Holleman, PhD(She/Her/Hers)

Dr. Annie Holleman provides neurodiverse-affirming psychological assessment for children and teens who are struggling. Families often come seeking clarity around attention, learning, emotional regulation, or social development, and may have questions related to ADHD, Autism, or other neurodevelopmental differences. Many have already tried other avenues — pediatricians, school meetings, therapy — and still feel like something is being missed. Her goal is to help families better understand their child's strengths, challenges, and needs, and to offer clear, compassionate guidance for next steps at home, school, and beyond.

Dr. Holleman believes that meaningful understanding comes from looking at the whole child, including their history, environment, relationships, and unique brain-based differences. She combines her clinical expertise with parents' deep knowledge of their child and the child's own voice and perspective, creating a process that feels collaborative and meaningful, not just clinical. Assessments are designed not only to identify areas of need, but to highlight strengths and provide families with practical, usable recommendations that support daily life and long-term development.

Dr. Holleman is a licensed psychologist with a PhD from the University of Texas at Austin and specialized training in child and adolescent assessment. She has experience working across community mental health clinics, hospitals, and pediatric settings, and her work is grounded in evidence-based practice delivered with a warm, accessible, and family-centered approach.

Dr. Holleman offers in-person psychological assessment for children and teens in Asheville, NC. All assessments are private pay, which allows for greater depth, personalization, and confidentiality than insurance-based evaluations. Free consultations are available for families who want to learn more before getting started.
