Comprehensive assessments identify learning disabilities, giftedness, and academic challenges through interviews, testing, and behavioral observations. Results guide personalized remediation plans for students in public, private, or specialized schools. Our process includes parent conferences and ongoing progress monitoring to ensure effective educational strategies.
Psychological Services
We address emotional, social, and behavioral issues affecting children, adolescents, and adults through diagnostic evaluations and therapy. Services include individual and family psychotherapy, parent training, and group sessions for conditions like ADHD, anxiety, and depression. Treatment plans focus on improving relationships and daily functioning.

Board-certified analysts provide Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) to address challenging behaviors and developmental concerns. Interventions promote skill-building in communication, social interaction, and self-regulation for individuals with autism or behavioral disorders across home, school, and community settings.
