There are several benefits of using our telehealth service:

You can talk to us from anywhere from home, office, even when you are traveling.

We offer services after work hours and on the weekends.

It is proven that telehealth therapy is as effective as in-person therapy.

Educational Services
We are focused on maximizing the potential of all our clients. Aspects that often become an obstacle to our success are those encountered in the academic setting.
​
The Covid-19 pandemic has impacted students' education. Many students struggle with the various changes to the educational system leading difficulties including emotion regulation, social skills, and school refusal.
​
Combined with this overarching obstacle, sometimes it’s a language or cultural barrier keeping us from utilizing our maximum skills in the American setting. Sometimes the material we are trying to learn does not fit our unique set of skills and abilities. Sometimes inadequate organizational skills, such as in note taking, study skills, time management etc. become obstacles on our path to success. Finally, sometimes developing the motivation and maintaining sustained effort to completing the educational tasks becomes a herculean challenge.
​
We assess the current obstacles toward success in academic issues and provide services from direct tutoring to developing structures to address each individual’s unique needs. Together, you will pave the road through the academics to reach the other side: to become one step closer to your dreams.

​
Psychological Evaluations
We provide a wide range of psychological and educational testing. Testing is often recommended to determine an accurate diagnosis or to develop a more detailed and precise treatment plan to address your specific difficulties.
Every evaluation is individually developed to answer your individual referral question.
​
Sometimes our abilities are not reflected in the school work we produce. One of the factors that may contribute to academic difficulties is an underlying disability.
​
If you suspect this may be the case of your child in grade school, please contact your school to be evaluated to receive IEP services. By law, schools are required to provide evaluations at no cost to you.
​
If you are starting college and have been receiving accommodations during grade school or struggling at college, a history of receiving accommodations through an IEP is sometimes not sufficient to receive services at your college.
​
If you have been receiving services but require official documentation for the purpose of determining accommodations on standardized tests such as PSAT, SAT, GRE, MCAT, LSAT etc.
​
If you require a second opinion, the most economical option is to request testing from a Psychology graduate school. Graduate students in training will administer the test under the supervision of a licensed psychologist.

​
How Evaluations work
​
During the first session, we will conduct an intake interview and review school records as well as previous testing. We will begin by administering a standard battery (group of tests) to address your specific referral question.
​
After the standard battery is scored and interpreted, we may require additional testing to further clarify findings.
Once all testing is completed, we will schedule a 30 minute session to review the results and you will receive a written report.
