The purpose of a psychological evaluation is to gain diagnostic clarity for clinical concerns, which is then useful in guiding treatment. I offer psychological evaluation for children and adults for a variety of areas including assessing for neurodivergence (i.e., autism spectrum disorder, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, or nonverbal learning disorder). For some people and families, gaining clarity related to neurodiversity can be transformative in fostering feelings of self-acceptance and/or in facilitating accommodations and interventions.

I also provide assessment related to mood and personality concerns (i.e., bipolar disorder, personality disorders, etc.). If you find treatment for mental health concerns has historically not been effective for you, confirming or ruling out a diagnosis may be beneficial to help guide evidence-based interventions for your specific symptoms.

Psychological evaluation is not one size fits all. For some people, a broad psychoeducational battery is appropriate while for others, testing that is targeted to a specific concern is most beneficial and cost effective. If you have questions as to whether a psychological assessment could be useful for you or your child, I would be happy to discuss. Please feel free to contact me for a complimentary consultation to learn more about the process.
