Autism Spectrum Disorder
I have a dedicated focus on neurodiversity and specialize in Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), with over a decade of experience providing personalized, evidence-based care. My training at Kennedy Krieger Institute and the MGH Bressler Program for Autism has equipped me with the expertise to address the complex and evolving needs of autistic individuals across every stage of development.
Autism is multidimensional, and addressing it requires a collaborative approach. I partner closely with families and other professionals to create tailored, holistic care plans that address social, emotional, and functional growth. Continuity of care is also at the heart of my approach. I firmly believe that children with autism thrive when their care transitions seamlessly into adulthood. That’s why I provide comprehensive support from early childhood through adulthood, ensuring that each individual’s growth is nurtured at every phase.
My goal is to empower individuals on the autism spectrum and their families, offering the tools and guidance needed to navigate their journey with confidence, independence, and hope.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are you a board certified psychiatrist?
I am double board certified by the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology, in both General/Adult Psychiatry and Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, and I hold the designation of Diplomate of the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology (DABPN).
Where did you go for your medical training?
I completed my medical training at FMH College of Medicine and Dentistry in Lahore, Pakistan. Following that, I pursued General Psychiatry training at Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center in El Paso. I then further specialized by completing a Fellowship in Child and Adolescent Psychiatry at The Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore, Maryland, where I also worked at the Autism Center within the Kennedy Krieger Institute. Additionally, I hold a Master’s in Public Health from Texas A&M University, which has enhanced my ability to integrate research with clinical practice.
Currently, I am affiliated with Massachusetts General Hospital and contribute to the Bressler Program for Autism Spectrum Disorder. I also serve as a clinical instructor at Harvard Medical School.
Do you accept insurance?
Our practice operates on a private pay, out-of-network basis and does not accept insurance. This approach allows us to provide highly personalized, accessible, and comprehensive care without the limitations imposed by insurance. As a result, we can dedicate more time to you, create tailored treatment plans, and offer greater flexibility in services.
While we do not bill insurance directly, we provide a detailed superbill that you can submit to your insurance company for potential reimbursement. This way, you can utilize your out-of-network benefits while receiving the exceptional care you deserve. Feel free to contact us with any questions about this process!
Choosing an out-of-network psychiatrist offers several advantages:
Privacy: Insurance companies typically require detailed documentation to process claims, including session notes and psychiatric diagnostic codes. By opting for an out-of-network provider, you avoid having to share this sensitive information, ensuring enhanced privacy for your mental health care.
Flexibility: Your treatment is not restricted to services deemed billable by insurance, allowing for longer or more frequent sessions and a broader range of treatment options.
Can I Use My Out-of-Network Benefits to See You?
If you have a PPO insurance plan, you may be able to use your out-of-network benefits for partial reimbursement. After meeting your out-of-network deductible, your insurer may cover a percentage (typically 40–80%) of the “maximum allowable amount,” determined by your insurance provider and may be lower than the full cost of services. HMO and EPO plans typically do not include out-of-network benefits
Do You Provide Superbills for Insurance Reimbursement?
Yes, we provide superbills for patients seeking reimbursement through their out-of-network insurance benefits. A superbill is an itemized receipt that includes all the necessary information your insurance company requires to process a claim, such as diagnosis codes, procedure codes, and payment details.
How Can I Contact My Insurance for Potential Reimbursement?
Please reach out to us at ghummanpsych@gmail.com and we will email you a step-by-step guide to help you navigate the process.

What is a psychiatrist?
A psychiatrist is a medical doctor (M.D.) specializing in diagnosing, treating, and preventing mental health conditions. With expertise in both medicine and psychiatry, they are uniquely qualified to address the interconnected aspects of mental, emotional, and physical health. Psychiatrists can prescribe medications, provide psychotherapy, and create individualized treatment plans to meet each patient’s unique needs. Those trained in integrative psychiatry adopt a holistic approach, addressing conditions such as anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, and addiction to promote lasting healing, personal growth, and overall well-being
What is a Child and Adolescent Psychiatrist?
A child and adolescent psychiatrist is a medical doctor (M.D.) specializing in the diagnosis and treatment of mental health conditions in children, teens, and young adults. With advanced training in psychiatry and child development, they are uniquely equipped to address young people’s emotional, behavioral, and psychological challenges. They provide care for a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, and developmental issues, offering personalized, evidence-based treatment plans. Through medication management, therapy, and family-centered support, child and adolescent psychiatrists help nurture emotional well-being and empower young individuals to thrive in their unique environments.
What is the difference between a psychiatrist and a psychologist?
A psychiatrist is a medical doctor who has completed medical school and is qualified to prescribe medications for various mental health conditions. Psychiatrists undergo extensive training, including 4 years of medical school, 4 years of residency, and optional 1-2 year fellowship programs. This medical background allows them to assess patients from biological/medical and psychological perspectives. In contrast, psychologists complete graduate or doctoral training in psychotherapy but are not medical doctors and, in most states, cannot prescribe medications.

In our practice, I provide comprehensive psychiatric for the following groups:
Children (ages 3–12)
Adolescents (ages 13–17)
Young Adults (ages 18–24)
