Psychological Testing and Evaluation Therapists in Benton, TN

I offer expert and comprehensive Psychological Evaluation Services for children and adults. Diagnosis and defining the problem accurately are the first steps to effective intervention and why assessment is so important to your treatment journey. A comprehensive evaluation and an evidence-based intervention plan can increase understanding of your mental health and learning difficulties as well as provide the proper direction and accommodations needed to succeed not only in treatment, but in academics, work, and everyday life.

Watching your child struggle behaviorally, emotionally, or academically, can be a very scary thing for a parent. You may feel lost and insecure, or you may feel like you have tried everything and nothing seems to work. Additionally, you may have struggled as a kid yourself but have never been able to pinpoint why. I believe through evaluation, one can better understand who they are, how to build on existing strengths, and how to target areas for growth.

When we know something needs to change, it can feel overwhelming. Where do we even start? Some problems can feel so daunting that no matter how much we want to change without the right tools it may feel hopeless. My therapeutic practice, which has been informed by my neuropsychological work, focuses on adults and older adults mitigating life transitions. This therapeutic collaboration may focus on various medical and behavioral health conditions, or a change that has impacted your life in a significant way.

Making the decision to seek therapy is not an easy one, and choosing the right therapist to meet your needs can be even more daunting!

I strive to provide tailored support for my clients as they address issues like anxiety, depression, addiction, past trauma, communication issues, anger management, symptoms of serious mental illness, adjustment and decision-making issues, and relationship problems.

Finding a therapist that is a good fit for you is pivotal to a beneficial and meaningful experience in therapy. A strong therapeutic relationship is the vehicle for change and the strongest predictor of treatment success. My international education encouraged me to adopt a flexible, curious, and inclusive perspective on the factors that contribute to one's identity and difficulties (e.g., religion, ethnicity, culture, gender, sexual orientation, etc.). I strive to create a safe and non-judgmental space to support clients' introspective journeys, exploration of identities, and understanding of the self, others, and the world.

I know that seeking help can be overwhelming and there are many qualified individuals who could help you, but you need a therapist who is a good fit for you. Consider if I am this "good fit". I believe I have the unique ability to connect with my clients, and they with me. This can be done through empathy. Empathy is the experience of understanding another persons thoughts, feelings, and conditions from their point of view. I work hard at doing this with every individual and their unique experiences.

I have had a passion for working with children since I first decided to go into the field of psychology. This was due to the natural relationship that I have always had with children and the desire to see them and their families have better lives. If you have a child who is struggling with anxiety, depression, anger, low self-esteem I can offer practical solutions to help. If you are confused by what is going on with your child and need answers, then I can help. I am a naturally curious person who will never stop working to discover your child's needs and to offer effective and efficient treatment advice.

Everyone wants to be themselves, to be “seen,” and to be valued for their uniqueness. We’re wired to need safe and affirming relationships and connection with others. When we’re struggling, it’s usually because something has gotten in the way of these things - not because we’re somehow "defective" or "flawed." I value authenticity, and strive to help clients feel and honor emotions that may seem “wrong" or unacceptable.

There is no greater pain than watching your child struggle. You've read the blogs, asked your doctor, consulted with friends, but you feel no closer to understanding what is going on or how to help. You need answers and you need a roadmap to stop the suffering and get things back on track. I'm here to guide you through the darkness and uncover what your child needs to achieve their true potential. My unique approach involves identifying your child's strengths in addition to their areas of vulnerability so you know exactly what they need to thrive.

Do you need support in learning other ways to manage life and life stress? I have over twenty years of experience in working with both acute and chronic stressors. I help clients get from where they are to where they would like to be using talk therapy, behavioral modification, and cognitive strategies to see the world from new perspectives. Let's connect!

My ideal client is one who is curious about his/her emotional life. My treatment philosophy is to engage a person in an exploration of their problems in ways that can lead to better relationships, feelings about themselves, and overall day-to-day functioning. My patients should find relief from their symptoms - whatever they may be - while making changes that will help them stay emotionally healthy and symptom-free in the long-term. It is my belief that therapy is a growth process that can only happen by collaboration and genuine trust between patient and therapist.
