We are all parents and we understand how important it is to feel that the person evaluating your child truly sees and understands them, not just their test scores. We approach every evaluation with the same care, thoughtfulness, and attention we would want for our own children, with the goal of giving your family meaningful answers and a clear path forward.

• One Psychologist, Start to Finish
  From your first conversation through your feedback session, your family works with the same psychologist. The psychologist who gets to know your child is also the one sitting beside them throughout testing and interpreting their results.

• We Listen First
  You know your child best. Every evaluation begins with an in-depth parent conversation so we can hear your concerns, understand the whole picture, and make sure testing is truly the right next step for your child.

• Testing That Feels Comfortable for Kids
  We want children to feel relaxed, encouraged, and successful while they are with us. We also schedule testing as efficiently as possible to minimize missed school and make the process easier for your whole family.

• Reports Without the Long Wait
  We know that once testing is complete, families are eager for answers. You’ll meet with the psychologist to review the results and receive a thoughtful, detailed written report within 2–3 weeks of testing.

• Clear Answers and a Path Forward
  Our goal isn’t simply to give your child a diagnosis or a set of scores. We want you to leave truly understanding your child, their strengths, their challenges, and what they need to thrive, with personalized recommendations and resources.

• Because Every Child Is Different
  No two children are the same, and no two evaluations should be either. Our evaluations are comprehensive and designed to look at the whole child, exploring not only the areas of concern, but also the cognitive, academic, attention, executive functioning, social-emotional, and developmental factors that may be contributing. We thoughtfully tailor each assessment to your child so that you leave with a complete understanding of their unique strengths and challenges, and answers and recommendations that are meaningful, practical, and specific to them.

A special focus of our practice is providing timely, comprehensive psychological and psychoeducational evaluations for children of all ages, from toddlers and preschoolers through school-age children and adolescents. We evaluate young children when parents, pediatricians, or teachers have concerns about developmental delays, autism spectrum disorder, behavioral or emotional difficulties, attention, or challenges in daycare or preschool.  We evaluate older children and adolescents who are experiencing difficulties with attention and focus, ADHD, learning and academic achievement, executive functioning, behavioral regulation, anxiety, mood, adjustment, or social-emotional functioning.

We understand how important it is for families to have clear answers about their child, which is why every evaluation follows best-practice guidelines and is thoughtfully tailored to the child’s age, history, strengths, and individual needs. Our goal is to understand not only what a child is struggling with, but why, and to give families meaningful answers, practical recommendations, and a clear path forward.

While it is common for children to have problems as they grow and mature, therapy can be helpful for children who are experiencing emotional distress that is disrupting daily functioning, is overwhelming, or is interfering with the achievement of age-appropriate developmental milestones. Therapy may also be warranted when a child’s difficulties are interfering with normal family functioning. With each child that we see, we work with the parents to develop an individualized treatment plan that addresses the child’s specific needs. Parental involvement is a crucial component of every child’s treatment and we work together to form treatment goals, develop strategies for change, help the child to practice coping skills, and evaluate the effectiveness of interventions. We are committed to providing empirically-based treatments including behavioral family therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy. We specialize in treating:

​​

• Behavioral Problems/Noncompliance

• Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder

• Anxiety

• Autism Spectrum Disorder

• Social/Emotional Concerns

Parenting can be the most rewarding job in the world. But also the most challenging.  Whether its managing toilet training, sleep problems, tantrums, or picky eating, we all need a little help sometimes.  We know first hand that it can be overwhelming to find the right solutions in a sea of books, websites and plentiful advice from family and friends.  Every child is different, and we will work with your family to identify areas of concern as well as strategies and solutions that will work best for your family.  Initial appointments are 1 hour and 15 minutes, and 1 hour follow-up appointments are available to problem-solve continued difficulties and practice skills in real time.
