Our Services (For Families)
Diagnostic clarity is the first step in ensuring an appropriate support or treatment plan. For many people, a diagnosis is an important and affirming step towards understanding their identity, which can be helpful in increasing self-awareness and finding commonality with others. An evaluation can also assist some clients in securing funding for additional services and obtaining accommodations and other supports.
Our practice works with you during the intake process to understand your (or your child’s) strengths and concerns so that we can plan the evaluation.
Psychological Evaluations
Our practice offers individual counseling services that are tailored to you (or your child’s needs). While each of our clinicians bring their own unique training and professional experiences to the practice, we are all well-versed on therapeutic approaches such as cognitive-behavioral, dialectical behavior, and humanistic approaches to therapy. During the intake process, feel free to ask us which approach we tend to use to address your goals!
Individual Counseling
If your child goes through the ETR process at school and you disagree with the evaluation or eligibility decision, you are entitled to request an Independent Educational Evaluation (IEE) at no cost to you. Our practice partners with you and your child’s school team to conduct the IEE and provide recommendations for IEP eligibility. Our practice is firmly committed to ensuring that IEEs do not become a financial burden for parents/families. We will work with your child’s school team to ensure a fair and appropriate rate that will be paid for by the school district.
Independent Education Evaluations
More commonly referred to as “social skills groups,” we prefer the term “social-emotional learning groups” to more broadly capture the variety of skills that we work on in our groups. Our practice offers a wide range of SEL groups on a biweekly basis. During the intake process, we determine your (or your child’s) best fit for a group using a number of factors, including age/grade, diagnoses, communication preferences, and cognitive abilities.
Typically, our groups meet once every two weeks. On occasion, we offer workshops for clients that are longer in duration and meet less frequently.
