Psychotherapy
Compassionate, evidence-based therapy informed by a clear understanding of each client's cognitive profile.
Why it matters
We believe diagnosis is the foundation of every effective intervention. When the diagnosis is wrong or incomplete, treatment can stall, medication can be mismatched, and people can spend months or years without real progress. An accurate diagnosis lets everyone focus on what will actually help.
Questions we help answer
- Is this attention difficulty ADHD, anxiety, depression, sleep problems, or something else?
- Are memory changes part of normal aging, mood-related, or an early sign of a neurological condition?
- Are symptoms after an injury or illness cognitive, emotional, or both?
- Is a learning or developmental condition contributing to current difficulties?
- How much does each of several co-occurring conditions contribute?
Our approach
We combine standardized testing with a detailed history, records review, and validity measures, then compare the full pattern of results against what each possible condition would predict. The result is a diagnosis grounded in data, with a clear explanation of how we reached it.
What to expect
- Initial conversation. We talk through the question you need answered, whether the evaluation is a good fit, and what records will help.
- Interview and records review. We gather history from you and, with your permission, from family, providers, schools, or attorneys, and review relevant medical, educational, or legal records.
- Testing. You complete standardized tests of thinking skills, mood, and behavior. Testing is paced with breaks to get an accurate picture of your best performance.
- Feedback and report. We meet to explain the results in plain language and provide a written report with a clear diagnosis and specific, practical recommendations.
