Our Services
Pediatric Neuropsychological Evaluations
Neuropsychological Evaluations focus on understanding how the individual’s brain works and the impact this has on their personality, emotions, and behaviors. Specific areas assessed include cognitive functioning, memory, language, executive skills (problem-solving), visual-perceptual skills, fine motor skills, attention, concentration, academic abilities, behavior, and personality.
What Can Be Accomplished?
- Personalized Insights: Gain a detailed understanding and enable tailored support that maximizes students’ potential.

- Collaborative Support: We work closely with educators, family members, and other professionals to develop cohesive plans that address all aspects of development.
- Empowering Clients: By identifying areas of strength and providing target support, our evaluations empower students to overcome obstacles and reach their full potential.
Individual Therapy
Our team of highly qualified therapists has extensive experience working with youth with trauma and significant mental health concerns. Clients meet one-on-one with an experienced clinician, as defined by their individual treatment plan. Together, they will work towards understanding their feelings and emotions in a safe environment.
