Why Choose a Diagnostic Psychological Evaluation?
Psychological evaluations help uncover the unseen. They go beyond symptoms to understand what’s really happening—and how best to help.
Our evaluations can help:
- Diagnose mental health conditions (e.g., ADHD, autism spectrum disorder, anxiety, mood disorders)
- Evaluate cognitive and academic strengths and weaknesses
- Support eligibility for school accommodations (IEPs or 504 Plans)
- Clarify treatment direction for therapy or psychiatric care
- Provide peace of mind when facing complex behavioral or emotional concerns
Each evaluation is tailored to the individual, guided by clinical expertise and compassion.
