Psychological Evaluation

Our highly experienced, competent, trauma informed and neurodivergent affirming Licensed Psychologist works with all ages, both children and adults. He is able to work with you to determine if your symptoms and concerns fit a diagnosis, what that diagnosis might be, and offer intelligible report findings. He is also trained to provide differential diagnosis if needed for those who have received mental health treatment but are still unsure what the underlying issues could encompass.

We offer a variety of psychological evaluations including:

• ADHD
• Autism
• Differential Diagnosis
• Psychoeducational

ADHD and Autism evaluations include a virtual or in person clinical interview session, an in person assessment session, and a follow up in person or virtual report finding session.

Differential diagnosis evaluations include an initial assessment and then a determination will be made as to next steps.

Psychoeducational evaluations can be helpful for private school kindergarten readiness, gifted placement or discovering learning differences.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) Skills Class

Dialectical behavior therapy helps people learn to manage their emotions, improve relationships, and tolerate distress. It is based on cognitive behavioral therapy and was originally developed by Marsha Linehan to treat borderline personality disorder. However, it can also be used to treat many other mental health conditions, such as depression, anxiety, substance use disorders, eating disorders and post traumatic stress disorder. DBT assumes that you are doing your best. You want to get better. You cannot fail treatment. You may feel like life is unbearable at the same time you are living it. You must learn new behaviors. You may not be the cause of your problems but still have to resolve them. And, that you can do better, try harder and be more motivated to change.

DBT includes 4 core concepts or sets of skills including:

• Mindfulness
• Distress Tolerance
• Emotion Regulation
• Interpersonal Effectiveness

Click on the video above to learn more about DBT and our skills classes beginning in January 2025.

If you ready to take the next step, then complete the short pre-screener below and we will reach out to you to schedule a skills class evaluation within 2 business days.

We cannot wait for you to join us on the DBT skills journey in the new year!

Educational 504/IEP Consulting

Are you a family with a child who has been recently identified with a learning difference, ADHD, anxiety, depression, or other concern impacting their educational progress?

Are you unsure of what to do next?

Do you feel ill prepared for the IEP/504 process and/or your next meeting?

Have you been navigating the IEP/504 process all alone, and now have hit a bump in the road (think 6th grade, 9th grade or graduating senior!)?

We can help!

We provide educational consulting to current counseling clients AND community members.

Our team of licensed counselors can assist you and your child with the following:

• locating and identifying classroom interventions that could be helpful for the identified learning difference (or OHI) r
• eviewing testing from psychologists (school or private) with you
• assisting you with any needed testing follow up questions or concerns
• co-creating a list of accommodations you may consider requesting from the school during an upcoming meeting p
• reparing you for your first 504/IEP meeting
• assisting you in determining if you suspect your child could use testing for a learning difference and help you navigate who, what, where, when and how
• collaborating with you in navigating the "tricky" years or roadblocks for your IEP/504 plans (think the 5th grader heading to MS, or the 8th grader heading to HS, or the graduating senior headed to college)
• providing self advocacy, stress management, and assertiveness skills to reduce the fear of "scary" 504/IEP meetings

MONTHLY CLINICIAN PROCESS GROUP

We know that as lifelong learners, we cannot be our best professional self in isolation. That is why we’ve created monthly clinician processing groups. These 2 hour in-person groups are small, encourage vulnerability, and meet the needs of mental health professionals who might otherwise practice in isolation.

These are not therapy or networking groups or case presentation groups, but rather a space to process our experiences with clients and the impact they have on our professional wellbeing. This time is about YOU. To be seen and heard. To show up authentically and introspectively ready to give and take in the group.

Our groups align with the following American Counseling Association’s ethical guidelines including:

• C.2.d. Monitor Effectiveness Counselors continually monitor their effectiveness as professionals and take steps to improve when necessary. Counselors take reasonable steps to seek peer supervision to evaluate their efficacy as counselors.
• C.2.e. Consultations on Ethical Obligations Counselors take reasonable steps to consult with other counselors, the ACA Ethics and Professional Standards Department, or related professionals when they have questions regarding their ethical obligations or professional practice.

Check Up from the Neck Up

We know that living in a post-Covid world means increased anxiety and depression rates among employees. This can impact organizational culture, wellbeing, and eventually earnings potential if left unaddressed.

Today, employers are more often seeking ways to support their employees' wellbeing in affordable AND meaningful ways. One way to do this is by offering an annual preventative mental healthcare well visit; what we call a "check up from the neck up."

During this time, your employees will gain access to:

• Affordable employee benefit
• 100% confidentiality
• Time spent focused on preventative health
• 30-60 minutes private session 1 on 1 with a NC counselor

Improving employee's access to mental healthcare has been shown to increase overall employee workplace productivity and contentment.While often overlooked, mental health is mostly preventative in nature. We like to address concerns BEFORE they get too big to handle.

During a well visit or "check up from the neck up," employees can discuss:

• Stress management concerns
• Work-life harmony
• Coping skills

We can also screen for common concerns including depression, anxiety and ADHD.

Our mission is to decrease the impact of employee stress and mental health concerns in the workplace while helping employers maintain the level of productivity needed to satisfy their earnings potential.

If you are interested in serving your employees in this way, please complete the brief questionnaire below, and we will be in touch!
