What Is a Psychological Evaluation?

A psychological evaluation is a structured assessment that helps identify cognitive, emotional, behavioral, and neurodevelopmental concerns. Using evidence-based tools, clinical interviews, and observations, Dr. Christina Stai develops a clear profile of your strengths and challenges to inform next steps in care.

Why Choose a Psychological Evaluation?

Psychological evaluations can help with:

  • Accurate diagnosis (ADHD, Autism, Anxiety, Depression, etc.)

  • School IEP/504 accommodations

  • Workplace accommodations under ADA

  • Clarifying emotional, behavioral, or learning challenges

  • Legal and forensic assessments (when applicable)

  • Mental health treatment planning

Each evaluation is tailored to your needs—whether you’re an adult seeking answers, a parent looking for school support, or a provider needing a second opinion.

What Does the Process Include?

Our evaluations are thorough yet supportive, and typically include:

  • A clinical intake and diagnostic interview

  • Standardized psychological and cognitive testing

  • Behavior checklists and rating scales

  • Review of academic/medical history (if relevant)

  • A comprehensive written report with findings and recommendations

  • A feedback session to explain results and next steps

Who Can Benefit from a Psychological Assessment?

We work with:

  • Children & teens (academic or behavioral concerns)

  • Adults (mental health diagnosis, work accommodations, clarity in care)

  • Neurodivergent individuals (Autism, ADHD, learning disabilities)

  • Foster/adoptive families (attachment, trauma, developmental screening)

  • Professionals (career or stress-related psychological support)

Our Approach

Dr. Christina Stai takes a neurodiversity-affirming, trauma-informed, and client-centered approach. Evaluations are not just about diagnosis—they’re about understanding your story and identifying practical, supportive steps toward healing and growth.
