Testing and Assessment

Assessments (testing) are conducted for many reasons. Perhaps there are struggles in a relationship, family or financial stress, parenting difficulties, problems with work or school, addiction or substance abuse, mood problems, post-traumatic stress, or anxiety...just to name a few. Parents generally seek psychological evaluation and treatment for children because of behavior problems, poor grades, socialization concerns, or developmental delays. Family doctors or school officials may also recommend an evaluation for a child who seems depressed, angry, defiant or aggressive.

All of our assessments include a detailed clinical interview, a review of pertinent records, standardized testing only with empirically validated instruments, a feedback session to understand the results of the testing, and a written report of the evaluation that includes treatment recommendations.
