I also offer evaluations under Family Law Practice Note 7, including Parent Risk/Psychological Evaluation, Focused Assessment, Voice of the Child, and Triage.
I obtained a Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology, with a specialization in Law and Forensic Psychology, and have extensive experience and specialized training in the area of assessment, both in clinical and forensic settings. Many of the individuals I work with have never had contact with a mental health professional or found that the previous treatment they engaged in was unhelpful. Many also say they are aware something is "off" but not sure what to do. I enjoy working with clients to clarify the symptoms and concerns they are experiencing through a comprehensive psychological assessment to enhance their well-being.

Looking for an adult autism assessment with a neurodivergent psychologist? Feeling dismissed by people who don’t understand medical trauma or how hard it is to stop masking? You have the right to feel accepted, heard, and believed—even during an assessment! I was “late-diagnosed” and understand how relieving a diagnosis can be after decades of feeling misunderstood and exhausted. My assessments are thorough and the options were entirely designed by autistic people, who I routinely work with to refine things. You can do the entire assessment from home and take the time you need. Do a FREE self-screen on my site here: www.ndpsych.com

At our practice, we support clients who are experiencing anxiety, depression, stress, grief, ADHD, OCD, and trauma. We also offer assessment and diagnostic services. Life can be hard sometimes, and my clients often tell me that they have so much going on in their lives that they're struggling to manage their emotions. Many of my clients identify themselves as being helpers and caregivers and are having a hard time finding balance in their lives. If you're tired of managing alone and want to find some peace or clarity in your life, or feel better emotionally, you've come to the right place. Couples therapy is also offered at EW&S.

It's fairly common to be uncertain about which service would benefit you and where to start. A psychological assessment can help you understand exactly what it is that you're struggling with, while therapy can help relieve your struggle by targeting your exact symptoms with an effective treatment plan.

What is a psychological evaluation?
A psychological evaluation is a test or assessment most commonly administered by a trained psychologist that is intended to be used in the diagnosis of specific psychological conditions, such as ADHD, mood disorders, personality disorders, dementia or Alzheimer's, and learning disabilities. Psychological evaluations can help inform future treatment decisions and help direct clients to professionals and resources that may be most helpful, such as potential therapy options or additional school supports.
Can psychological evaluations be done on individuals of any age group?
Psychological evaluations are conducted on individuals of all ages and can be beneficial to individuals across the lifespan. However, specific types of evaluations may be most frequently conducted on individuals of certain age groups. For instance, ADHD or learning disability testing is often conducted in children ages 4-12--the period of time when ADHD symptoms most commonly emerge. In contrast, cognitive functioning assessments, such as those conducted to diagnose dementia, are most commonly conducted in elderly individuals. Clients should ensure that the psychologist they are seeing has specific expertise in conducting evaluations in their age group to ensure they receive a correct diagnosis.
How long does a psychological evaluation take?
Psychological evaluations vary in length depending on the test being administered and the goals of the evaluation; however, most evaluations are 2-4 hours in length. Some evaluations may take as long as 8 hours but can often be spread across multiple days. In some cases, clients will also attend an intake session or interview, which can help the psychologist assess client functioning outside of the testing environment.
How should I prepare for a psychological test and evaluation?
Individuals do not need to prepare for psychological tests or evaluations in most cases, as they are intended to measure a client's baseline psychological status without test-specific preparation. However, clients may want to brainstorm a list of questions for their psychologist about any tests they are receiving prior to the assessment, including what potential outcomes may mean for what next steps the client should take.
