Testing and Evaluation Therapists in Wexford, PA
The worry doesn't clock out when you do. You lie down and your mind starts its night shift: replaying the conversation, rehearsing tomorrow, scanning for the thing you forgot. Maybe it's a racing heart in the checkout line, a flight you won't book, a call you keep not making. You're good at looking fine, so most people have no idea. But you're tired. Tired of the effort it takes to hold it together, tired of talking yourself down from things that shouldn't feel this hard. You've tried to think your way out, and the worry just rearranges the furniture. You don't have to white-knuckle this forever.

At times, clients may benefit from psychological testing to answer specific questions about diagnosis or symptoms.
I enjoy working with children, adolescents, families, and adults (preschool-age 80+). I am fortunate to have helped individuals over the past 20+ years as they strive to overcome life's challenges and access life's joys. While a variety of therapy techniques that I am trained in can be of value, clients and I select the ones that will be most helpful to them personally.

You’ve spent a long time wondering if you were just missing something. Maybe you’ve worked hard to keep up — at school, at work, in relationships — but things still feel harder than they should. You’ve been told to stay calm, get organized, try harder. But deep down, you’re asking: is it ADHD? Autism? Trauma? Or something else entirely? You’re not broken or making excuses — and you deserve answers. My work is about helping people finally understand what’s really going on, with clarity and care.

You miss your old, capable self. Your days are now busy with appointments, interrupted by the side effects of your disease or treatment, and flooded with emotions. Life is sometimes difficult, but chronic illness has made your circumstances even more complicated. You're so tired of feeling lost and waiting for life to return to normal. As others dismiss your concerns with well-meaning statements of hope or offers of vague promises of help, your isolation grows. Hopelessness and fear creep in. You know you need support or guidance, but figuring out who or what will be helpful feels overwhelming. Where do you even begin?

Some burdens don’t show on the surface. You hold it together at work, with your family, even in front of friends — but under it all, something feels off. Maybe it’s the weight of unspoken grief, the mental tangle of ADHD, or the stress of navigating a diagnosis (or lack of one). At Dean Psychological & Well-Being Associates, we understand how layered it can be. You don’t have to explain everything — and you don’t have to carry it alone.

Clients with Alzheimer's or other neurodegenerative diseases often feel as if their needs are forgotten, once they have been diagnosed. They, along with their care-partners, need empathy, understanding, and practical guidance on how to manage symptoms, enhance communication, and maintain quality of life. My work with people in the early stages of these diseases is to empower them to identify practical ways that fit with their own values and goals and help them find ways to live more fulfilling lives. People who are dealing with depression, anxiety, ADHD, and other mental health conditions also need validation of their experiences.

Consultation is not the same as therapy or treatment. Consultation services may be helpful for a family that feels stuck, or wants

Each of us is a complex product of our past and present environments and experiences. Generally, we act or cope in ways that are adaptive or necessary under given circumstances. When our default methods of coping are no longer effective or our circumstances change, we begin experiencing distress in specific realms of our lives. This distress might manifest as anxiety, depression, anger, pain, relationship or sexual difficulties, social isolation, declining performance and/or impairment in daily functioning. As there is an undeniable connection between our psychological and physical wellbeing, I approach treatment in an integrative, collaborative and personality-based manner.

Testing and Evaluation Therapists
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.
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.
