Services
Psychological Testing
Our psychological testing services provide comprehensive evaluations tailored to individual needs, including academic, developmental, and vocational assessments. These evidence-based assessments help identify cognitive patterns, emotional functioning, and behavioral tendencies through standardized testing batteries. Our licensed psychologists interpret results to create personalized recommendations for treatment plans, educational accommodations, or career development.
Selective Mutism Treatment
Specialized treatment programs address Selective Mutism through individual therapy, parent training, and group sessions. Our evidence-based approach combines behavioral interventions with gradual exposure techniques to help children overcome speech anxiety in social settings. The Outside Voice Day Camp provides intensive therapeutic support in a structured environment.
Exposure Therapy
Exposure therapy helps clients overcome anxiety disorders through systematic desensitization techniques. Our clinicians use evidence-based protocols to treat phobias, OCD, and trauma-related conditions by gradually exposing clients to feared stimuli in controlled environments. This approach builds coping skills and reduces anxiety responses over time.
Neuropsychological Testing
Neuropsychological evaluations assess cognitive functioning related to brain injuries, developmental conditions, or neurological disorders. These comprehensive assessments measure memory, attention, language, and executive functioning to identify patterns of cognitive strengths and weaknesses. Results inform treatment planning and accommodations for clients with complex neurological needs.
Tele-Health Counseling
Remote counseling services provide accessible mental health care through secure video platforms. Our tele-health sessions maintain the same evidence-based standards as in-person therapy, offering flexibility for clients across multiple locations. This service ensures continuity of care for clients with scheduling or geographic constraints.
