Psychological Testing & Evaluations
Comprehensive evaluations for ADHD, learning disabilities, neuropsychological concerns, and more.
Written reports and feedback session included.
Psychological testing and evaluations clarify how a person is functioning cognitively, emotionally, behaviorally, and academically. They help explain struggles with attention, learning, behavior, mood, executive functioning, and other psychological concerns. Each evaluation includes a written report with findings, recommendations, and guidance for next steps.
Psychological testing requires in-person sessions at our Malvern or Wayne offices. Evaluations cannot be completed through online therapy. If you are unsure whether testing is the right next step, our intake team can help guide you.
