Psychological Testing
ADHD Testing
We offer comprehensive ADHD testing for children, teens, and adults to help identify attention, focus, and impulsivity concerns. Our evaluations explore both behavioral and cognitive patterns, using clinical interviews, rating scales, and standardized testing to determine whether ADHD is present and what supports are most appropriate. We also help differentiate ADHD from other concerns such as anxiety or learning issues.
Autism Spectrum Disorder Testing
Our autism assessments are designed to identify or rule out autism spectrum disorder (ASD) across age groups. We use evidence-based tools to evaluate communication, social interaction, restricted interests, and sensory sensitivities. Our goal is to provide clear answers and practical guidance for next steps in treatment, education, daily living, and self-understanding.
Learning Disability Testing
We assess for reading, writing, and math-based learning disabilities (such as dyslexia or dyscalculia) using standardized achievement tests and cognitive measures. These evaluations are can often be used to support accommodations for learners of all ages. Our reports clearly outline learning strengths and challenges, helping families and schools better understand how to support the student’s success.
Pre-Surgical Psychological Evaluations
We offer psychological evaluations required before certain medical procedures, such as bariatric surgery or spinal cord stimulator implantation. These evaluations assess emotional readiness, coping strategies, and any factors that may impact post-surgical adjustment. Our reports are tailored to meet surgical program requirements and are typically completed in a timely and supportive manner.
Mental Health Evaluations
We provide psychological assessments to clarify complex or longstanding mental health concerns. These evaluations can help distinguish between anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, trauma-related concerns, and personality patterns. Through clinical interviews and evidence-based questionnaires, we help individuals and providers (counselors, doctors, and psychiatrists) arrive at a more accurate diagnosis and effective treatment plan.
Admissions and Accommodations Testing
Admissions and academic testing can help clarify learning strengths and weaknesses for students pursuing higher education or specialized programs. Our evaluations provide documentation that may be required for standardized testing accommodations (such as SAT, ACT, GRE, etc.), as well as for academic supports in college and graduate school. Recommendations are individualized and can also be used to guide accommodations through schools, 504 plans, and individualized education programs (IEPs).
