Child & Adolescent Therapy and Psychological Testing
Ages 3 & Up
If your child or teen is struggling emotionally, you are not alone.
Many parents notice changes in their child but aren’t sure what those changes mean. Children often express distress differently than adults. Instead of saying “I’m anxious” or “I’m overwhelmed,” they may show it through behavior, school struggles or emotional outbursts.
Common concerns parents bring to therapy include:
• anxiety or excessive worry
• emotional outbursts or “big feelings”
• difficulty focusing or ADHD concerns
• school struggles or academic challenges
• sadness, withdrawal or mood changes
• behavioral challenges at home or school
• difficulty adjusting to family transitions such as divorce or relocation
• grief following the loss of someone important
With the right support, children can learn healthy ways to understand their emotions and build confidence.
Psychological Testing for Children
If your child is struggling with attention, learning or academic performance, psychological testing can provide valuable answers.
Testing offered may include:
-
WISC – Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children
Evaluates cognitive abilities and learning patterns.
-
WRAT – Wide Range Achievement Test
Assesses reading, spelling and math skills.
Psychological testing can help identify:
• ADHD or attention concerns
• learning differences
• academic challenges
• cognitive strengths and weaknesses
These evaluations can help parents, schools and clinicians better understand how to support a child’s learning and development.
