Assisting clients seeking psychological assessment to better understand their cognitive profile, learning style, neurodivergence or mental health.
Our assessment process is collaborative and respectful, with a strong focus on clear feedback and practical recommendations, including learning strategies and supports that can be applied at home, school, work, or in daily life. Clients are often drawn to PAWS Psychology because of our calm, nature based setting and the option of animal assisted therapy.
PAWS Psychology offers a range of psychologists who combine warmth and respect with evidence based practice. Our landscaped outdoor spaces, walk & talk options, and the gentle presence of therapy animals can help many people feel more at ease, and open to engaging in therapy—particularly those who don't want more traditional clinic settings.
