Psychological TestingIn Arlington, Virginia
When things feel confusing, overwhelming, or stuck, psychological testing can help give clarity and direction. I provide comprehensive psychological evaluations for children, teens, and adults to better understand concerns related to emotions, behavior, attention, personality, coping, and day-to-day functioning.
Why people seek testing
Some people seek testing because therapy has stalled or a previous diagnosis doesn’t fully explain their struggles. Others are looking for answers about anxiety, mood changes, emotional regulation, behavioral concerns, or difficulties that have become harder to manage over time. Either way, testing can help bring together patterns in thinking, emotions, behavior, and daily functioning to create a clearer understanding of the bigger picture.
What You’ll Take Away
The goal of psychological testing isn’t just to provide a diagnosis, but to help you or your child better understand what is contributing to ongoing struggles and what may help moving forward. You’ll receive clear feedback and evidence-based recommendations tailored to your specific needs.
Testing may help guide:
Therapy or treatment planning
School or workplace accommodations
Decisions about additional services or supports
Greater understanding of emotional, behavioral, or interpersonal patterns
People leave the process feeling more informed, validated, and confident about next steps.
What the Evaluation Looks At
Each evaluation is personalized and may examine areas such as:
Emotional functioning and mood
Anxiety, stress, and coping
Attention and self-regulation
Personality and behavioral patterns
Social or interpersonal functioning
Daily functioning and adjustment
