Psychological Assessment

Psycho-Educational Testing for Children and Adolescents
We provide assessments for children of all ages to understand their emotional, learning, and/or neurological strengths and weaknesses in order to develop a plan for success. There may also be concerns about a child's behavior or academic performance and a thorough assessment can help answer questions about why they are having difficulty and what types of accommodations may best support the child and their family. As part of the assessment process, we will collaborate with your child's academic team at school, the family and all of those that are involved in the child's life to help support them and create a fostering environment that will lead to success.


Diagnostic Testing for Adults, Children and Adolescents 
This type of testing will look at a person's cognitive, academic, social-emotional and executive functions. The assessment specialist will analyze the strengths and weaknesses from all of these areas to help the patient answer questions they have about difficulties they have at work or in relationships. Psychological diagnostic assessment delivers critical information necessary for accurate diagnosis and treatment planning. By using reliable testing instruments and employing a comprehensive approach (extensive interviewing, information gathering and battery of tests) we can help answer difficult diagnostic questions.


Issues We Commonly Address:
· Learning disabilities
· Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)
· Behavioral problems
​· Impaired cognitive functioning
· Psychotic disorders
· Anxiety or panic disorders
· Depression and other mood disorders
