Strength-based comprehensive diagnostic Autism, ADHD, and Learning evaluations.
Psychological Services for Autism and Behavioral Needs
Strength-based comprehensive diagnostic Autism, ADHD, and Learning evaluations.
Knowing your child needs help is one thing. Knowing what kind of help they need is much harder.
- “You are receiving different opinions from teachers, providers, and family members.”
- “Your child is bright, but their performance doesn’t reflect their abilities.”
- “You have tried tutoring, therapy, accommodations, or behavior strategies without fully understanding the underlying problem.”
- “You are worried about choosing the wrong intervention or losing valuable time.”
Clarity begins here:
1. Start with a consultation
Tell us what you are noticing, and we will help determine whether an evaluation is the appropriate next step.
2. Complete a comprehensive evaluation
Your child participates in thoughtfully selected testing based on the specific referral questions.
3. Leave with answers and a plan
You receive a clear report, personalized feedback, and practical recommendations for home, school, treatment, and accommodations.
Thoughtful support for the questions and transitions that matter most.
You do not have to figure it out alone. Tell us what you are noticing, and we will help you identify the most appropriate next step.

Services
Assessments
We offer the following comprehensive diagnostic evaluations:
- Autism evaluations
- ADHD evaluations
- Learning disability and dyslexia evaluations
- Psychoeducational evaluations
- College and testing-accommodation evaluations
- Adult autism and ADHD evaluations
Our evaluations bring together developmental history, standardized testing, observations, records, and input from the people who know your child best. We look beyond a single score or diagnosis to understand your child’s complete profile. We provide school-based recommendations that support IEP or 504 eligibility and accommodations for standardized tests such as SAT, GRE, MCAT, and CA BAR.
Behavior Consultation
Expert behavioral consultation services for families facing barriers at home or in the community, particularly those impacted by Autism. Our approach is rooted in the principles of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) to understand the function of behavior. We develop practical, individualized strategies tailored to each child and family, including psychological assessments to identify specific needs. Our evidence-based interventions promote positive, lasting behavioral change, while also helping to enhance social skills. We provide collaborative, compassionate support to empower students, parents and caregivers, focusing on building confidence, connection, and long-term success for families.
Counseling
Individualized counseling services for children, adolescents, and young adults, including those on the Autism Spectrum. We offer support for a range of concerns such as anxiety, life or school transitions, and relationship challenges, as well as behavioral consultation to enhance social skills. Our safe, welcoming environment fosters trust and emotional growth, guided by clinicians with deep experience and a compassionate, client-centered approach. We focus on developing emotional resilience, healthy coping strategies, and personal insight, grounded in evidence-based practices like CBT to ensure effective, lasting outcomes. Our services are designed to support well-being, strengthen relationships, and promote meaningful change. WE ARE NOT TAKING COUNSELING CLIENTS AT THIS TIME.
