Assessment Approach
Ever wondered why your brain works the way it does? As an experienced assessment clinician, I'm here to help you learn more about yourself. The comprehensive assessments I offer cover a wide spectrum - from ADHD and learning differences to giftedness and beyond.
I work with both kids and adults to help them understand their unique strengths and challenges. Many clients (and their parents) come to me feeling frustrated or misunderstood. It's incredibly rewarding to see the "aha" moments when pieces of the puzzle start falling into place.
At ClearStep, we only use state-of-the-art, research-backed assessment tools. Why? Because you deserve the most accurate and actionable information possible. But don't worry - while the science behind the evaluations can be complicated, I'll break everything down into clear, practical insights you can actually use.
Now, let's talk about the elephant in the room - testing anxiety. It's real, and I get it. That's why I've designed my evaluation process to be as comfortable and engaging as possible. We might even have some fun along the way (yes, really!). After all, when you're relaxed, your true abilities shine through.
Transparency is key in my practice. I'm an open book - ask me anything about the process, and I'll give you honest, straightforward answers. And remember, this is a collaboration. Your input and feedback are invaluable in crafting an evaluation that truly serves your needs.
The end result? A clear, comprehensive report that not only explains your cognitive profile but also provides practical strategies for leveraging your strengths and navigating challenges. It's not just about identifying issues - it's about empowering you with knowledge and tools for success.
