Education and Learning Disabilities Therapists in Portland, OR

Immediate availability (within two weeks) for psychological assessment. I am currently accepting new clients for assessment. My psychological assessments are comprehensive and address the multifaceted aspects of each person I evaluate. Each assessment includes recommendations and individualized feedback. Testing can help to clarify treatment goals, improve therapeutic outcomes, increase self-awareness, and provide recommendations for accommodations at work and/or school.

We are a psychological assessment clinic that specializes in conducting assessments for children, teens, and young adults including those for learning disabilities (such as Dyslexia), Autism, ADHD, giftedness, anxiety, and depression. Our approach is compassionate, collaborative, and thorough. One of the goals of the assessment is to provide an in-depth understanding of the young person’s strengths and to uncover the causes of their challenges. Another goal is to provide families, teachers, and other individuals who work with the student with evidence-based recommendations so that they can succeed and thrive in their life.

We are a psychological assessment clinic offering a full spectrum of testing, assessment, and consultation services. At MindSights, we believe that seeing and understanding the complexity of unique minds gives those minds a better chance to thrive.

Raising healthy and happy children with ADHD can be a big job, but the good news is that you do not have to do it alone. There is a lot that can be done to help! ADHD is a complex neurodevelopmental condition that impacts each child differently. ADHD has little to do with how "smart" your child might be, but it has a lot to do with your child's ability to regulate their attention, mood, and behaviors. When symptoms of ADHD lead to lower self-esteem, mental health concerns, behavioral challenges, or academic struggles, it is a good time to seek professional help.

I have been a licensed Clinical Psychologist in Oregon for over 25 years. The origins of my orientation to psychotherapy lie in the Client Centered work of Carl Rogers where empathy, unconditional positive regard, genuineness and acceptance guide the therapeutic pathway toward personal growth. Along the way I've studied Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), all of which inform my clinical approach to treatment, and are especially useful in the treatment of anxiety and mood disorders, e.g. Social Anxiety and OCD.

When it is a hard time to be a human, it is exponentially more difficult to be a caregiver. The good news is that you don’t have to do it alone. Reaching out for support can bring more ease and joy to your relationship with your child (or children). You might be interested in making sense of challenging or confusing behaviors; discipline & confident limit setting; understanding & responding to your child’s crying or tantrums; supporting play, independence & learning; clarifying your values & developing a caregiving approach; setting up a supportive environment; working with your own triggers, and/or carving out time for self care.

Seeking support for your young child's psychological or developmental needs? As a licensed psychologist, I specialize in providing comprehensive psychological services for children 18 months to 7 years, including evaluations for autism, ADHD, learning disorders, and more.

I also offer practical tips and tricks for improving sleep and potty training.

As a clinical psychologist trained as an integrationist, I enjoy working with people from a holistic perspective. I believe it is important to consider not only what is going on in the present, but also what has happened developmentally, biologically, interpersonally,and cognitively. In addition to conceptualizing our experiences as people from a systems perspective, I conduct individual, group, and family therapy using a DBT-informed frame of practice. What this means is that change comes about by learning new behaviors in a variety of contexts while balancing the reality of a person's situation and skill level with acceptance.

I provide psychological assessments for children, teens, and adults. I assist clients who are experiencing a range of presenting concerns. Common concerns include: autism, intellectual and learning differences, anxiety and depression, trauma-related presentations (e.g., posttraumatic stress disorder or PTSD), life transitions (e.g., high school to college), obsessions and compulsions, and executive functioning differences.
