I am a clinical psychologist providing psychological diagnosis, evaluation, and brief therapy in Boerne, Texas. Correct diagnosis and assessment can improve your life! You can understand yourself better, boost your academic performance, stimulate work success, deepen your relationships, and even improve your physical health. Brief therapy gives us time to explore treatment recommendations, dissolve resistance to change, target specific problems, or adopt new skills. I also help with emotional challenges of physical illnesses, like diabetes, chronic pain, or autoimmune disorders.

Life is not easy. There are constant worries, so much to do while not enough time, and it’s easy to feel lost or alone. Despite wanting to change, many people find themselves stuck, feeling sad, anxious, and lonely. Figuring out how to communicate, feel more connected, and get your needs met in a relationship often takes more understanding of yourself and learning some new skills. Feelings of anxiety, worry, stress, and sadness may signal the need for a change. Navigating change and the mix of emotions is stressful enough; it does not have to be lonely. Sharing the burden and journey of change makes an incredible difference.

Clients who work with Elite Performance Counseling, PLLC (EPC) want to regain their performance edge. High-achievers often struggle with anxiety—it comes with the territory. Those who achieve a lot of success in life, however, are often assumed to “have it all together.” The truth is high-achievers deal with enormous amounts of pressure to achieve bigger and better, which frequently results in unhealthy levels of stress, anxiety, depression, and ultimately a drop in quality of life. Our ability to feel healthy is impacted by how well we can leverage the mind & body so that stress can be managed and power/potential can be maximized.

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.
