Our services
Psychological and Psychoeducational Testing - We conduct psychoeducational testing and re-testing for children as young as 4. We also can provide a more limited Kindergarten Readiness Assessment. Our providers have considerable experience with testing for interventions and accommodations in public, parochial, and private schools.
Psychotherapy - On the therapy side, for our youngest patients intervention is focused on heavily on parents and some supplemental work with children. Issues addressed include: anxiety, disruptive behaviors at home or at school, difficulty with potty training, feeding, sleep. Among older children, the providers address additional issues such as depression, social troubles with parents or peers, and school-related stress.
