Overview of Assessment Approach

We understand that the idea of a psychological assessment can feel overwhelming—especially if you’re unsure what to expect or think it’s something only children need. In reality, assessments can be incredibly helpful for people of all ages, offering a deeper understanding of what’s going on beneath the surface and how to move forward with clarity and confidence.

A psychological assessment is more than just a set of tests—it is a comprehensive process designed to understand your unique strengths, challenges, and needs. Whether for yourself or your child, it’s an opportunity to be truly seen, with thoughtful insights that go beyond a diagnosis. Our goal is to provide clear, focused recommendations that make sense in the context of your life and support your long-term well-being.

We use evidence-based tools and gold-standard methods—meaning our evaluations are grounded in the latest scientific research. But we never take a one-size-fits-all approach. Each assessment is carefully tailored to capture the full picture, not just a label. We believe that a great assessment can be the starting point—the springboard—for meaningful growth, self-understanding, and targeted support.

All assessments are conducted by licensed clinical psychologists and are individualized to meet each client’s unique needs.

What to Expect from an Assessment

The assessment process typically includes:

  1. Intake & planning to understand referral questions

  2. Testing sessions tailored to the individual

  3. Comprehensive feedback and a detailed written report with clear recommendations

We prioritize clarity, collaboration, and respect throughout the process.

Assessment & Testing Packages

  • ADHD assessments help determine whether attention, hyperactivity, or executive functioning difficulties are present and how they impact daily life. We evaluate ADHD across the lifespan (children, teens, and adults).

    ADHD testing may assess:

    • Attention and impulse control

    • Executive functioning

    • Academic or occupational impact

    • Co-occurring concerns (e.g., anxiety)

    Results can help guide treatment, school and workplace supports, and accommodations.

  • Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) assessments are designed to help clarify social, communication, sensory, and behavioral differences. We provide autism evaluations for children, adolescents, and young adults.

    Autism testing typically includes:

    • Comprehensive clinical interview

    • Developmental history

    • Autism-specific measures (e.g., ADOS-2)

    • Cognitive and psychological testing

    These evaluations can support self-understanding, guide treatment, and help access accommodations or services.

  • (Combined Evaluations)

    Comprehensive testing integrates multiple assessment areas to provide a full, nuanced understanding of an individual’s cognitive, emotional, academic, and neurodevelopmental profile. This option is often recommended when concerns are complex, overlapping, or unclear.

    Comprehensive evaluations may include a combination of:

    • Autism testing

    • ADHD testing

    • Educational testing

    • Emotional and behavioral assessment

    This approach is especially helpful for individuals who have multiple concerns, have not received clear answers in the past, or are navigating academic, workplace, or mental health challenges.

  • Educational evaluations focus on learning (e.g., WIAT), academic skills, and cognitive abilities (WPPSI, WISC, WAIS). These assessments are often used to identify learning disabilities, clarify academic strengths and weaknesses, or support educational planning.

    Common referral questions include:

    • Reading, writing, or math difficulties

    • School performance not matching potential

    These evaluations are frequently used to support IEPs, 504 Plans, and academic accommodations

  • Giftedness assessments help identify advanced cognitive abilities and strengths. These evaluations may be used for school placement, enrichment planning, or to better understand a child’s intellectual profile.

    Giftedness testing can be especially helpful for children who are:

    • Highly curious or advanced learners

    • Understimulated or bored at school

    • Both gifted and experiencing learning or emotional challenges

  • Psychological or psychodiagnostic evaluations help clarify emotional and behavioral concerns. These assessments may be recommended when symptoms are complex or when diagnosis is unclear.

    They can help assess for:

    • Anxiety disorders

    • OCD

    • Mood disorders

    • Trauma-related concerns

    • Personality or behavioral patterns

    Results provide diagnostic clarity and practical treatment recommendations.

  • We currently have no waitlist for School Admission Testing!

    Same-Day School Admissions Testing: Many private schools and giftedness programs often require cognitive testing for admission. The requirements vary by school, but this typically involves a Wechsler tests (WPPSI or WISC). This testing is an abbreviated version of a cognitive evaluation and is completed within one day. Testing involves one appointment that lasts about two hours depending on the age of your child. We will meet with your child to complete Weschler testing, and provide you with the results approximately 30 mins following testing. We will also provide you with a written copy of the results.

Please note: we do not provide forensic evaluations or evaluations for custody purposes.
