Psychological Testing
I provide a wide range of testing services across the lifespan, including standard psychological testing, neuropsychological testing, and psychoeducational testing.

Testing can be a vital part of the assessment and diagnosis of a wide variety of problems, from Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADD/ADHD) and Learning Disability (LD) to geriatric depression or dementia.

Testing often takes ten or more hours of face-to-face assessment, after which test data is scored, interpreted, and organized in a comprehensive written report. The findings are then reviewed in a detailed feedback session.
