Psychological Assessment

Psychological assessments offer insight about your child's specific pattern of development. You'll discover your child's unique strengths as well as her vulnerabilities. You'll learn how your child thinks and feels, why she has trouble with some tasks, and what she needs to be successful.

Psychological assessments are a collaborative process involving the child, family, teachers and school supports, and other care providers in your child’s life. I am happy to engage with anyone invested in your child’s success.

I will keep your questions and goals in mind throughout the assessment process and work to provide meaningful information and develop feasible recommendations for you and your child.

I will work with you for one year following the assessment to help implement recommendations, monitor how they are working, and help you adjust as needed.

Therapeutic Consultation

Some children have had multiple assessments and involvement with numerous service providers. Despite this, they continue to struggle and families are left navigating a sea of services and a laundry list of recommendations.

Sometimes, more testing is not needed. Instead, I work with families to sort through their child’s history and presenting concerns, conceptualize primary and secondary issues, and prioritize treatment. We create an intervention plan that outlines priorities and responsibilities for each care provider (e.g., parents, teacher, therapist) and setting (e.g., home, school, community).

Therapeutic consultation means that I do not work directly with your child. Instead, I work with families to sift through information, develop a roadmap for care, and offer ongoing support and advocacy (e.g., attend school meetings, consult with therapist).
