What should I expect when undergoing psychological testing?
An initial consultation will take place first either in my office or over telehealth to determine what type of testing will be necessary and determine what questions you would like answered during the evaluation. After the initial consultation, there may be multiple sessions scheduled to complete necessary testing. Once testing is completed, a final session or several sessions will be scheduled to provide comprehensive feedback and recommendations. All evaluations will commence with a report of findings.
I have extensive experience in the following types of testing:
- Psychological Testing
- Psychoeducational Evaluation
- Gifted Testing
- ADHD Assessment
- Autism Evaluation
- Neuropsychological Testing
- Career/ Aptitude Testing
Testing may be considered to:

- Identify the caused of behavioral, emotional, or academic changes
- Help individuals who are ‘stuck’ in life or in psychiatric treatment
- Qualify for extended time on standardized testing or in the classroom
- Rule in or out ADHD and provide targeted, highly personalized treatment recommendations
- Measure impairment from a traumatic brain injury, stroke or concussion and track progress throughout cognitive rehabilitation
- Help advise high school students on what majors or careers to pursue based on personality traits and aptitudes
- Measure intellectual functioning and qualify for disability in the cases of intellectual impairment
- Assess eligibility for school programs such as gifted or special education
- Guide schools and parents on returning back to school following a crisis or psychiatric hospitalization
