What We Do
Evaluations
Evaluations give you and us a better understanding of your concerns and what your goals are. Sometimes evaluations involve
only an interview with the client alone or with other people who know the client well, such as family or others who can provide
background information. Sometimes evaluations involve tests that are administered by the clinician or completed by the client.
Specialized Evaluations:
Testing and recommendations for interventions for learning disabilities, developmental delays, behavioral problems.
Child custody evaluations, other legal consultations for child related matters.
Psychiatric evaluations and consultations to determine the need for medication as a treatment option.
Treatment
After your goals, concerns, and current resources are identified,
we will provide specific interventions. A psychiatrist is available to identify any medications that would be helpful. The
psychologists can help to change upsetting thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that are interfering with your goals or those
of a family member.

Case consultations can be one time calls or ongoing for an individual or an office.
Training and workshops are available to professionals on a wide variety of topics, including: How to Work with Difficult
