Education and Learning Disabilities Therapists in Olathe, KS

I’m Cassidi and I am a Licensed Master level Psychologist (LMLP), as well as a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC). Primarily I do neuroeducational and psychological testing for ADHD, autism, dyslexia, learning disorders, and personality disorders. For therapy, I specialize in first responders, trauma and currently working on my eating disorder specialist certification. I previously held the Neuro Psychometrist positive at KU Med but am currently in private practice at Midwest Neuroeducational Services in Overland Park, KS for testing and Embark Counseling Services in Lenexa, KS for therapy!

I specialize in psychological assessment, including assessment of attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and learning disabilities, such as dyslexia, problems with math, and problems with writing. I provide autism evaluations, as well as assessments for many other types of behavioral and emotional concerns. I also specialize in evaluations to assess for giftedness and am involved with a variety of gifted groups. I conduct testing necessary for private school admissions and for accommodations on standardized tests (SAT, ACT, LSAT, etc) and in higher education settings. I work with clients of all ages, from young children to adults.

I focus my practice on providing high quality assessments to address questions related to learning and learning disabilities, testing for standardized test accommodations, and attention problems. Questions I help answer include: Do I or a loved one have ADHD or is something else like anxiety or depression getting in the way of my ability to focus? Do I or a loved one have dyslexia, a reading/math/writing learning disability, dyscalculia? What evaluation is needed to apply for standardized test accommodations?

I believe I am effective working with individuals impacted by anxiety, life transitions and trauma, joining you as you heal and grow. Also, I have experience with families and parents looking for support as they navigate ADHD and learning disabilities in their children. I enjoy working with couples to enhance their relationship, working through difficulties and adding meaningful interactions back into their lives. I also can be helpful working with parents that are considering or have completed a separation but would like to optimize their coparenting to lessen the effects on their children.

I work with individuals who have a desire for change with their mental health or are seeking quality of life improvements. Clients who are seeking to improve their lives and are seeking positive change or consultation. Clients issues can range from mental health needs, relationship issues, personal issues, medical disorders or problem-solving life issues. Clients desire long-term or short term change for the issues they are facing. Accountability for goals, desire for change, seek to problem solve, by learning coping strategies or finding solutions to satisfy one’s self-determination.

I am currently only accepting new clients for Assessments (ADHD, learning disabilities, mood disorders, etc). Do you feel stuck, or at an impasse in your current life? Perhaps the use of a substance or a behavior has become a larger piece of your life than you wanted it to. It could be that anxiety or depression have kept you from achieving what you want, or being who you want to be. Maybe you’ve had a change in your life that’s been difficult to handle. Perhaps your child/teen is having difficulty at home or in school. I have experience working with clients of all ages, and tailor my approach to each individual.
