Psychological Assessment Services
Are you a parent feeling stuck with how to best help your child? Does your child appear distractable, forget to complete homework or chores, or need constant reminders for simple daily tasks? Is your child struggling in school with retaining information, feeling frustrated by classwork, or falling behind academically?
Do you experience feelings of low mood, lack of motivation, or feelings of nervousness or worry? Perhaps you struggle to control your emotions, and at times feel like your emotions are in control of you or keep you from living the life you want.
Psychological and Psychoeducational Assessments May Help!
Our psychologists specialize in conducting comprehensive assessments quickly and efficiently to ensure our clients have an overall understanding of their emotional and cognitive functioning. Assessments are useful in determining the most effective treatments, along with providing resources, interventions, and necessary accommodations at school or work.
Our doctors provide comprehensive psychological and psychoeducational assessments for children and adults, ranging from ages 3-89. We offer one competitive price with sliding scale options, which covers the entirety of the assessment process. We complete assessments either in the Growth Psychology office or at the child’s school or adult’s workplace, depending on the needs of the individual.
We Provide Comprehensive Assessments for the Following Areas:
ADHD
At Growth Psychology, we offer comprehensive evaluations to assess for and diagnose Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder.

On the day of the assessment, the client can expect up to 4 hours for the completion of the different measures, though the time may vary depending on the client’s needs.
Step 3: Review the Comprehensive Report
Once the assessment is complete, the psychologist will reach out within 2 weeks to schedule a 50-minute feedback session to review the comprehensive report. The client will receive a hard copy and PDF version of their assessment.

At the request of the client, the psychologist may provide follow-up clarification or recommendations on the implementation of accommodations to teachers, employers, doctors, or therapists, at no additional charge.
