Child & Adolescent Therapy & Other Interventions Individual Therapy Our treatment approach is tailored to the needs of each individual child. Older children and teens may be seen in individual therapy to help them better understand and accept their challenges related to learning or attention issues and to help build self-esteem. We also provide social skills groups for children who have difficulty interacting with peers. Parent Guidance Typically, we also involve parents in the treatment, providing parent guidance to help them address family problems in a constructive, problem-solving approach. Often, especially in the case of children, we focus on helping parents learn how best to help their child feel and function better. School Consultations By phone or on site.

Child & Adolescent Testing The Center offers psycho-educational and neuropsychological assessments of children, adolescents, and adults. An assessment typically takes place over several sessions including an initial diagnostic interview two testing sessions of 3-4 hours each, followed by a feedback interview to interpret test results and to make recommendations based on those results. Our assessments include what we believe to be the best tests available in order to understand an individual's attention and learning. Psychological screening is a routine part of our assessment protocol. However, more in-depth psychological assessment, including projective testing, is not part of our standard assessment. When emotional/psychological issues are a focus of the evaluation, an additional fee will be charged for projective testing or other psychological testing, based on time spent to administer, score and interpret them. Records can be mailed or faxed in advance so that the psychologist can have time to review them in advance of your initial appointment. Or, if you prefer, you may bring records to the initial appointment. Please bring copies of records, not originals, so that there will be no risk of damaging or losing original documents. Records that may be helpful to us include medical records, school records, and prior test reports. Children An initial clinical interview (either with just parents or with parents and a child) is typically followed by a battery of psychological tests to assess learning, attention, and memory, as well as interpersonal and emotional issues. School Admissions For clients from pre-school to high school, we offer testing for school admissions for area independent schools. Child Testing Our diagnostic testing consists of cognitive and academic testing. The initial clinical interview assists us in evaluating whether additional tests should be administered to provide us with more information about specific concerns. Our approach to testing is that of a Hypothesis testing model. The specific tests to be administered are decided on a case by case basis depending upon the particular concerns being addressed.
