If your child is struggling to focus, learn, manage emotions, or get along with others, psychological testing can help.
I specialize in personalized, strengths-based psychological testing and evaluations for children (ages 5 and up), teens, and college students. Psychological testing will uncover your child’s unique strengths, explain their challenges, and provide you with a roadmap to set your child up for success.

Is having trouble learning to read, write, or solve math problems.
-
Is having learning problems that are not getting better, even with extra help.

Struggles with social interactions or making and keeping friends.

Learning disorders, such as dyslexia, dysgraphia, and dyscalculia

What are the benefits of psychological testing?
Get a clear picture of your child’s strengths.
Learn why your child is struggling and if their challenges are due to a diagnosable condition, such as ADHD, a learning disorder, autism, or a mental health condition.
Fully understand what your child needs so you can focus your efforts on the right treatments and get results faster.
Help your child qualify for extra support or accommodations in school, such as a 504 plan or IEP.
Give your child's pediatrician, therapist, or psychiatrist important information about your child so they can provide the best treatment.
Types of evaluations
I offer a variety of evaluations to meet your child’s needs. We will work together to decide which type of evaluation is the best choice for your child.
Psychoeducational Evaluation:
Ideal if you suspect your child has an attention disorder (ADHD), learning disorder (such as dyslexia, dysgraphia, or dyscalculia), or another challenge that is impacting them in school. This evaluation provides important information about your child’s intellectual abilities, attention and executive functions, reading, writing, math, learning, and memory. A psychoeducational evaluation will give you a personalized plan for the best interventions for your child and can help your child qualify for extra support and accommodations in school. Cost: $3,800
Social-Emotional Evaluation:
Ideal for children who are having trouble with social interactions, emotions, or behaviors, including children who may have autism spectrum disorder or a mental health condition. This evaluation provides important information about your child’s emotions, personality, social skills, and relationship patterns. A social-emotional evaluation can help your child’s care team provide the best treatment possible. Cost: $3,800
Comprehensive Psychological Evaluation:
Perfect for getting a full picture of your child's strengths and challenges. This evaluation includes all elements of the psychoeducational and social-emotional evaluations, providing the most complete and thorough understanding of your child. A comprehensive psychological evaluation is useful for children who have a combination of attention, learning, social, and emotional difficulties. This evaluation will give you a personalized treatment plan for your child and can help your child qualify for extra support and accommodations in school. Cost: $4,500
