Our ideal client is a child, teen, adult, or family seeking accessible, high-quality mental health care for anxiety, depression, ADHD, Selective Mutism, trauma, or life stress. They want clarity, hope, and practical solutions—not guesswork. Their goals are emotional stability, improved daily functioning, and long-term resilience. They choose Pinnacle Counseling and Testing Center for compassionate, evidence-based therapy, accurate psychological assessment, personalized treatment plans, and a supportive path toward feeling better, functioning stronger, and having more good days.
Our psychologists have specialized training in the treatment of anxiety, trauma, OCD, and Selective Mutism. We also provide psychological testing for ASD, ADHD, Learning Disabilities, and more for people of all ages. We are passionate about what we do and the people we serve, helping our clients to have more good days.
At Pinnacle, we take pride in making a personal connection with all of our potential clients. Our 15-minute free consultation will allow us both to ensure that our therapy or testing is a good fit for you. If anxiety seems too big to face on your own, reach out to our office. We'll work together to help you have more good days.

We know how limiting insurance can be. We determine your treatment based on your needs; not what your insurance decides. For those wanting to use insurance, we provide a superbill for PPO/OON plan reimbursement. We also accept HSA/FSA, and offer 6 months interest-free financing with CareCredit.

We work with clients struggling with issues that live beyond the walls of a therapy office. After mastering skills in-office, we use Exposure Therapy in the community, where appropriate. We also have an Autism specialist on our team who specializes in testing and counseling. We meet with each client to develop an individualized plan forward so that you can get back to enjoying life.
