Assessments

Struggling with focus, learning, or mental health concerns? A psychological assessment can be an important step toward a formal diagnosis, accessing supportive resources, and understanding yourself better.

Get Started

What is an assessment?

A psychological assessment provides a detailed understanding of how your brain functions in key areas, such as:

  • Memory

  • Attention

  • Language

  • Problem-solving

  • Emotional regulation

These assessments can help clarify diagnoses, guide treatment planning, and document cognitive changes over time. My in-person diagnostic services provide clarity and actionable steps—whether for understanding neurodivergence, personal growth, or supportive accommodations.
