Evaluations & Therapies
We provide comprehensive, whole-picture evaluations that rule things in and rule things out, giving your family one complete report, one clear path forward, and everything you need to support your child at school and beyond.
Psychoeducational Evaluations
Most families come to us wondering if their child has ADHD, dyslexia, or something else. The answer is often more nuanced than a single label. Our psychoeducational evaluations look at the full picture: how your child thinks, learns, reads, focuses, and feels. All at once. One evaluation. One report. All the answers.
ADHD Testing
Comprehensive ADHD evaluation using parent, teacher, and standardized measures, not just a checklist. We assess attention, executive function, and rule out overlapping conditions.
Dyslexia Testing
We assess reading, phonological processing, and language skills to understand exactly how your child processes written language, with clear next steps for school and home.
Neuropsychological Evaluations
For children with complex medical histories (including concussion, epilepsy, TBI, and conditions affecting the brain), we provide in-depth evaluations to guide medical providers, schools, and families.
Anxiety Treatment
CBT-based therapy that gives children and teens real, lasting tools for managing worry, perfectionism, and avoidance, tailored to each child's specific experience and needs.
OCD Treatment
Using ERP, the gold standard for OCD, our team delivers compassionate, structured treatment that helps children break free from obsessions and compulsions for good.
children will experience a mental health challenge before age 18. Most families wait years before getting the answers they need.
"Our mission is to provide compassionate, comprehensive psychological evaluations and evidence-based treatment to children, teens, and college-age youth while fostering their emotional well-being and empowering them to reach their full potential."
Dr. Erika Doty — Founder Our MissionParents reach out to us when their child is...
Falling behind at school
Despite working hard and trying their best
Anxiety, worry, or big emotions
That feel impossible to manage
ADHD, dyslexia, or a learning difference
That hasn't been formally identified yet
Behavioral challenges
At home, in class, or in relationships
In need of answers before the next big step
A new school year, a major transition, or simply knowing what's really going on
You know something is off. You just need someone to help you figure out what, and what to do next. That's exactly what we do.
Find the right evaluation for your child
Not sure which evaluation fits your situation? Here is a quick guide. Most families start with a psychoeducational evaluation, which covers the full picture. If your child has a medical condition affecting the brain, a neuropsychological evaluation may be the right fit.
Psychoeducational Evaluations
Our most comprehensive evaluation, designed to build the full picture of how your child learns, thinks, focuses, and feels. Rather than testing for one thing in isolation, we assess everything together so nothing gets missed and no second appointment is needed.
- ADHD (inattentive, hyperactive, and combined)
- Dyslexia & reading/language disorders
- Learning disorders
- Anxiety, mood & emotional concerns
- Twice-exceptional profiles
- Executive functioning
Includes a detailed report and feedback session
Neuropsychological Evaluations
When a child's challenges are connected to a medical condition affecting the brain, a neuropsychological evaluation provides a deeper, medically-oriented look at memory, attention, processing speed, and executive functioning to guide schools, families, and medical providers together. While most of our testing uses neuropsychological measures, the key difference from a psychoeducational evaluation is the lens: neuropsychological evaluations focus specifically on medical conditions affecting brain function.
- Concussion & post-concussive syndrome
- Traumatic brain injury (TBI)
- Epilepsy & seizure disorders
- Medical conditions affecting the brain
- Cerebral palsy & neurological conditions
