Psychological Evaluations

Psychological evaluations are structured assessments designed to provide a deeper understanding of cognitive, emotional, and behavioral functioning.

Sometimes, you know something feels off, but you can’t clearly understand why. An evaluation helps organize those puzzle pieces into a clearer picture.

I provide psychological testing services for adults and teens in California and Kansas. Evaluations are tailored to the specific referral question and may be conducted in person when required.

Types of evaluations offered:

  • General psychological evaluations

  • ADHD evaluations

  • Neuropsychological evaluations

  • Pre-surgical psychological evaluations

  • Bariatric

  • Spinal cord stimulators

  • Cosmetic procedures

  • Organ transplants

  • Gender affirming procedures

  • IVF

Each assessment is individualized based on your needs and the purpose of the evaluation.

A psychological evaluation is not just about receiving a label. It is about understanding patterns, strengths, and areas for growth.

Evaluations can help:

  • Clarify diagnoses

  • Identify cognitive strengths and weaknesses

  • Provide documentation for academic or medical purposes

  • Inform treatment planning

  • Increase self-understanding

  • Support medical decision-making for surgical procedures

  • Offer recommendations tailored to your specific needs

For many clients, clarity itself brings relief and direction.

The evaluation process is thorough, collaborative, and transparent. You will understand what is being assessed and why.

The process typically includes:

  • A detailed clinical interview

  • Review of relevant history

  • Standardized psychological testing

  • Scoring and interpretation

  • A comprehensive written report

  • Feedback session to review findings and recommendations

Pre-surgical evaluations also include discussion of emotional readiness, expectations, coping capacity, and post-operative planning to support long-term success.

My background in clinical and neuropsychological assessment allows for careful interpretation of results within the context of your overall functioning.

Following an evaluation, you will receive:

  • Clear diagnostic impressions when appropriate

  • A detailed written report

  • Practical recommendations

  • Guidance for next steps

  • Increased insight into your cognitive and emotional profile

The goal is to provide useful, actionable information that helps you move forward with confidence.
