When we work together we’ll discuss your concerns and how it’s impacting your life. We’ll focus on building both insight and skills to help you create the change you’re looking for. While we may discuss difficult topics and have impactful conversations in session, I believe a lot of change happens between the times that we meet. I often give something to do/try/think about in-between sessions. I find that honest feedback from you on those skills or ideas is important, and while that can be easier said than done, I find that the most successful sessions are ones where we are both honest with each other.

When you’re used to being the one who steps in, takes care of things, and makes sure everyone else is okay, it can be hard to notice when you’ve reached your own limit. Maybe you’re navigating a big life change, feeling disconnected from yourself or your relationships, or struggling to keep up with everyday demands. Your mind may feel constantly busy, making it hard to focus, get organized, slow down, or follow through. The pressure to keep up may leave you feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or emotionally drained. If this resonates, you deserve a space to slow down, feel understood, and find strategies that work for you.

Are you often the one others rely on to keep the peace, solve the problems, and stay strong no matter what? If so, you know how heavy that role can feel. After years of putting others first and staying attuned to everyone else's needs, it can be be difficult to recognize your own. On the outside, you may seem like you're holding it all together, while inside you're exhausted, weighed down by old wounds, or wondering why life feels so overwhelming.

FAQ - Psychological Testing and Evaluation
What is a psychological evaluation?
A psychological evaluation is a test or assessment most commonly administered by a trained psychologist that is intended to be used in the diagnosis of specific psychological conditions, such as ADHD, mood disorders, personality disorders, dementia or Alzheimer's, and learning disabilities. Psychological evaluations can help inform future treatment decisions and help direct clients to professionals and resources that may be most helpful, such as potential therapy options or additional school supports.
Can psychological evaluations be done on individuals of any age group?
Psychological evaluations are conducted on individuals of all ages and can be beneficial to individuals across the lifespan. However, specific types of evaluations may be most frequently conducted on individuals of certain age groups. For instance, ADHD or learning disability testing is often conducted in children ages 4-12--the period of time when ADHD symptoms most commonly emerge. In contrast, cognitive functioning assessments, such as those conducted to diagnose dementia, are most commonly conducted in elderly individuals. Clients should ensure that the psychologist they are seeing has specific expertise in conducting evaluations in their age group to ensure they receive a correct diagnosis.
Who conducts psychological evaluations and assessments?
Psychologists are the primary professionals who perform psychological evaluations and assessments. Such psychologists hold a doctorate-level degree (PsyD or PhD) in the field of psychology and thus have extensive knowledge of the diagnostic criteria for various psychological conditions. In some cases, clients may seek a psychiatric assessment—typically conducted by a Medical Doctor (MD) specializing in Psychiatry or a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP)—which are more focused on potential medication management for mental health conditions.
How long does a psychological evaluation take?
Psychological evaluations vary in length depending on the test being administered and the goals of the evaluation; however, most evaluations are 2-4 hours in length. Some evaluations may take as long as 8 hours but can often be spread across multiple days. In some cases, clients will also attend an intake session or interview, which can help the psychologist assess client functioning outside of the testing environment.
How should I prepare for a psychological test and evaluation?
Individuals do not need to prepare for psychological tests or evaluations in most cases, as they are intended to measure a client's baseline psychological status without test-specific preparation. However, clients may want to brainstorm a list of questions for their psychologist about any tests they are receiving prior to the assessment, including what potential outcomes may mean for what next steps the client should take.
