Psychological Assessments and Evaluations.
Psychological testing & assessments are diagnostic tools that aid in the identification, diagnosis, and proper treatment of attentional, learning, and mental health related challenges. Assessment measures allow clinicians to provide specific treatment recommendations tailored to your individual needs.​
Adult attention-deficit and hyperactivity disorder evaluation
(Children and Adult)
Do you have difficulty focusing on one task at a time? Find yourself easily distracted? Have difficulty meeting deadlines, with a tendency to procrastinate? Have trouble keeping your life organized? Find yourself acting without thinking? Struggle to develop plans to complete tasks? If you answered “yes” to any of these questions, then you may have an undiagnosed attentional disorder. We offer diagnostic evaluations for adults, to assess for a possible attentional disorder, such as Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). The evaluation assesses an individual’s memory, cognitive abilities, and executive functioning skills. The results of the evaluation can be used to obtain appropriate accommodations for college and standardized testing, such as the GRE, LSAT, etc.

Autism Spectrum Evaluation (Child and adult)
Children and adults with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) present with deficits in social interaction, verbal and nonverbal communication, repetitive behaviors or interests, and may present with unusual responses to sensory experiences. Since these disorders are usually diagnosed early in a child’s development, they are referred to as developmental disorders. Some children have severe deficits in these areas and some have mild deficits. Autism treatments vary depending on where a child lands on the spectrum. Additionally, treatment is tailored to the unique needs of that individual.
