Psychological evaluations are a deep dive to develop a clear picture of how a person functions and what might help. It results in a detailed report, along with a clear diagnosis and treatment recommendations. Evaluations include formal measures.

I am shifting my practice to focus mainly on testing adults (though ask if you have a child or adolescent in mind). 

I particularly enjoy in working with women to diagnose ADHD, Autism Spectrum Disorder or learning disabilities that may have been missed. The purpose of a diagnosis is as a short-hand to understanding, rather than to pathologize or limit in any way.

Evaluations typically include in-person meetings with the client (about 2 hours each), consultation with other people involved, as appropriate, and a feedback session with a report. More sessions can be scheduled as necessary. There are also questionnaires to be completed at home. The experience can be empowering and fun for the client. 

During evaluations, people are encouraged to be as comfortable as possible. We can dim the lights or choose from fidget toys. I do not insist on sitting still or eye contact, and people can bring their full selves into the room. I strive to create a safe environment where people are accepted completely. Race, culture, gender, sexual orientation, abilities or disabilities are all accepted.

Most testing must be done in-person in my office, but intake and feedback sessions can be scheduled remotely if preferred. 

Fell free to call or email for a sense of how I conduct evaluations and to see if we might be a good match.
