Services
Neuropsychological Assessments
Our neuropsychological evaluations assess cognitive, academic, and emotional functioning for toddlers to young adults. We identify learning disabilities, ADHD, autism-spectrum disorders, and medical conditions through direct testing, behavioral ratings, and school observations. Results guide personalized interventions for academic accommodations, therapeutic strategies, and family support systems.
Individual Psychotherapy
Tailored therapy sessions address anxiety, social challenges, and emotional regulation difficulties in children and adolescents. We specialize in treating clients with chronic medical conditions like epilepsy or migraines using age-appropriate interventions that build coping skills and improve quality of life through evidence-based therapeutic techniques.
Cognitive Coaching
This service develops organizational skills, time management, and working memory through structured coaching. We target cognitive inefficiencies associated with ADHD, anxiety, and learning disabilities, providing practical strategies for academic success and improved task completion in school or vocational settings.
Biobehavioral Coping Strategies
We teach biofeedback, relaxation techniques, and guided imagery to manage stress, pain, and anxiety. These interventions help children and teens cope with medical conditions, test anxiety, or social stressors through physiological self-regulation methods that complement traditional therapeutic approaches.
School Consultations
Our consultation services include classroom observations and collaboration with teachers to implement assessment-based interventions. We develop individualized education plans, provide teacher training on neurodevelopmental disorders, and facilitate accommodations for students with learning or behavioral challenges.
