Psychological Evaluations
Our comprehensive psychological evaluations use evidence-based tools to diagnose ADHD, autism spectrum disorder, PTSD, and learning disorders. We prioritize collaborative assessment of both challenges and strengths, providing detailed treatment guidance. Each evaluation includes three sessions totaling 5-6 hours with personalized written reports.
Trauma Counseling
Specialized trauma treatment using EMDR, Cognitive Processing Therapy, and trauma-focused CBT addresses PTSD and complex trauma impacts. Our providers focus on rebuilding emotional resilience through evidence-backed modalities tailored to individual needs.
Spiritual Care
Chaplain services offer spiritual life coaching for grief, relationship stress, and trauma recovery. While not clinical counseling, these sessions provide complementary support through pastoral care and values-based guidance.
College Accommodations Assessments
We evaluate learning disorders affecting academic performance to determine eligibility for ACT/SAT accommodations. Our assessments document cognitive patterns and provide specific recommendations for educational support systems.
Group Therapy
We offer social skills groups for neurodivergent adults, trauma survivor circles, and mindfulness-based groups. These evidence-supported groups create peer connection opportunities while addressing specific therapeutic goals through structured programming.

Questions
What types of psychological evaluations do you offer?
We provide ADHD assessments, autism spectrum evaluations, trauma impact assessments, learning disorder diagnoses, and pre-surgical psychological evaluations using standardized tools like ADOS-2.

While we do not bill insurance directly, we provide super bills for potential out-of-network reimbursement. Our providers are not contracted with insurance panels to maintain treatment autonomy.
What makes your evaluations different?
Our evaluations combine evidence-based tools with a strengths-focused approach, offering detailed reports with actionable treatment recommendations rather than simple screening assessments.
Are services available for children?
We specialize in services for teens (16+) and adults. For younger children, we recommend connecting with local pediatric providers for specialized care.
What crisis resources are available?
For emergency situations, we direct clients to 911 or local emergency rooms. The National Suicide Prevention Lifeline (1-800-273-8255) also provides immediate support.
