We offer professional assessments for a variety of special situations. In each case, we conduct our assessments using the most up-to-date testing methods. We apply expert knowledge based on thorough familiarity with the subject and extensive practical experience.
Mindfulness-based Interventions
Mindfulness-based therapies are effective because they alter emotional responding by modifying thoughts and feelings that affect negative self-beliefs. By regular practice of the techniques in these structured sessions, you can reduce emotional reactivity and enhance emotion regulation.
Neuropsychological Assessment
Unlike CT or MRI scans, which show what the structure of the brain looks like, neuropsycho-logical testing evaluates problems in brain functioning, examining how well the brain is working when it performs certain functions (for example, learning or remembering).
Therapy for Children, Families, and Teens
Counseling can help kids feel better about themselves, teach them skills to get along better with others, help them develop mature self-control, and improve ability to solve problems. Counseling can also help parents learn to understand their child’s feelings and behavior, deal more effectively with negative behavior without over-reacting, and help kids manage stress and frustration better.
Couples Counseling
When a couple comes to couple’s therapy for the first time, emotions are often intense. I approach the first session with an attitude of “no blame.” Using a combination of questionnaires that assess your relationship strengths and problem areas, plus individual interviews with each partner, I will then provide feedback to help create a treatment plan that incorporates your goals for your relationship.
