Psychological Assessments
Our comprehensive psychological assessments identify cognitive strengths and challenges through standardized testing. We evaluate emotional functioning, developmental milestones, and academic capabilities to create targeted treatment plans. Services include diagnostic clarification and evidence-based recommendations for home, school, and clinical settings.
Anxiety and OCD IOP
This structured program delivers intensive CBT and ERP therapy for severe anxiety disorders and OCD. Patients receive 3-10 weekly sessions combining psychoeducation, exposure therapy, and skill-building exercises. Treatment occurs in-office, telehealth, or community settings with family involvement as needed.

We conduct Wechsler Scale testing to determine gifted program eligibility for school placement. Evaluations measure verbal/nonverbal reasoning, working memory, and processing speed with detailed reports meeting Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach County requirements.
