If you’re looking for these types of testing, give me a call to discuss your needs!.
You may be here because you’re feeling down, stuck, or lost. Maybe you're trapped in a web of worry, struggling with irritability or anger, or feeling depressed or numb. Whether you’ve faced a life-changing event or you're struggling with daily stresses that pile up, I want you to know that you’re not alone. You’re in the right place, and therapy can help. I welcome adults, teens, children, and families for therapy in my office in South Miami. For adults, I also offer online therapy (you may have heard the term "teletherapy") using video conference, so if you live elsewhere in Florida or have a busy schedule, help is still in reach.

I have conducted evaluations of various types to a broad range of clients, ranging from toddlers all the way up to patients in their 80 and 90s.
My interest in evaluations, especially psychoeducational evaluations, stemmed from the time I was a grad student. I evaluated a child with suspected learning disabilities and provided feedback to his parents. To my surprise, the parents brought their son back to the clinic for a re- evaluation by the time I was an intern. The difference in how they presented between the first and second intakes was night and day. As evaluators, we almost never receive feedback about how our evaluations positively impacted our clients’ lives. In the rare events we do hear back from them, it fills us with great satisfaction. This is what motivates me.

She does not provide a one-size-fits-all approach to evaluations.
My approach is neurodiversity affirming. My role as an evaluator is to listen, understand, & accept a client's lived experience & help identify their struggles, as well as identifying their strengths and aspirations. The evaluation process is a collaborative one in which clients, regardless of age (youths get to be truly heard), have an opportunity to share experiences without time constraints & without having to be viewed solely through a set of test data & questionnaires. While these tools can help clients communicate concerns, test data alone is not the best method in truly understanding one's unique experiences & circumstances.

Testing and Evaluation Therapists

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.
