Dr. Cogorno (formerly Sharp) leads Monarch Behavioral Health, where she provides compassionate, evidence-based care for children, teens, adults, and families. Since 2015, she has specialized in psychological assessment and therapy grounded in a strengths-based, trauma-informed, and culturally responsive approach. She’s known for warm, precise evaluations and clear, actionable reports that both support areas of vulnerability and amplify existing strengths. As founder, she pairs clinical excellence with community partnership to expand access to care across San Antonio.
Our comprehensive testing services are designed to help individuals of all ages gain a deeper understanding of their strengths, challenges, and needs. Whether you’re seeking clarity for academic struggles, mental health concerns, or professional readiness, we offer evaluations tailored to your unique situation.
Evaluations consist of 3 appointments: intake consisting of an interview regarding functioning & developmental/background history; assessment appointment; & feedback session to review results, discuss any questions, & review recommendations. At Monarch Behavioral Health, we see testing not as a label, but a as a tool for empowerment.
