Services
Psychodynamic Therapy
Our psychodynamic therapy explores unconscious patterns from past experiences affecting current behavior. This approach helps clients understand deep-seated emotional conflicts, improve self-awareness, and develop healthier relationship patterns. Research shows lasting benefits for personality disorders and complex trauma recovery.
Psychological Evaluations
Comprehensive evaluations combine clinical interviews with standardized testing for accurate diagnosis. We assess cognitive abilities, personality traits, and emotional functioning to create tailored treatment plans. Our 20+ page reports include evidence-based recommendations for therapy, medication, and academic accommodations.
ADHD Assessments
Specialized evaluations identify ADHD symptoms across the lifespan using validated measures. We examine executive functioning, attention patterns, and co-occurring conditions. Results guide personalized interventions for home, school, and workplace environments, including formal accommodation documentation.
Trauma Treatment
Our trauma-informed therapy addresses complex and intergenerational trauma using evidence-based approaches. Treatment focuses on symptom reduction, emotional regulation, and rebuilding trust in relationships. We specialize in treating dissociative disorders and attachment-related difficulties stemming from traumatic experiences.
Educational Testing
Neuropsychological assessments identify learning differences and cognitive strengths for academic planning. We evaluate IQ, processing speed, and academic achievement to develop 504/IEP recommendations. Special expertise in twice-exceptional learners and neurodiverse profiles supports educational success.
