Our Services

  • Psychological Assessment

    Our psychological testing includes various mental health and personality measures to help determine the presence of mental health-related disorders to assist in determining appropriate recommendations.

  • ADHD Assessment

    Are you or your child struggling with sustained attention? Hyperactivity? Impulsivity? ADHD testing can help to provide answers.

  • Academic Assessment

    If your child is experiencing difficulties in school, comprehensive cognitive and academic testing may help to rule out the presence of a specific learning disorder.

  • Autism Evaluation

    These evaluations test for autism spectrum disorder and include the ADOS-2.

  • Gifted and Talented Placement Testing

    This shortened assessment includes an IQ test and short report specifically for those needing a cognitive test for GT placement. This does not include academic testing, adaptive testing, or psychological testing. These can be scheduled quickly with a cognitive report provided within 48 hours of the testing date.

  • Strengths-Based Career Evaluation

    This comprehensive assessment combines an IQ test, a personality measure, and vocational preference tools to help you identify careers that align with your unique abilities, strengths, and interests. Whether you are exploring new career paths or seeking greater fulfillment in your current role, we provide personalized insights and actionable recommendations to guide you toward professional success.

  • Adaptive Evaluation

    This shortened assessment includes a cognitive measure and an adaptive functioning measure, along with a shortened interview and shortened report. These assessments are typically needed to help determine access to state-based services.

  • Professional Consultation and Supervision Services

    This service is designed for individual clinicians, private practices, and businesses seeking expert guidance in psychology. Services may include improving workplace communication, identifying individual strengths, and providing supervision for pre-licensed clinicians. For more information on how psychological insights can enhance your business development, please visit the contact page or email Dr. Dana Gau directly.

Important to note: While the categories above describe different testing options, we offer personalized assessments tailored to your needs, which may include a combination of these tests.
