Parenting is a tough journey. There are unanticipated pressures and unmet expectations. While families and kids are trying their hardest, sometimes help is needed. We approach each family with care during trying times. We strive to help families move in the direction that is not necessarily the most traveled but the one that is right for them.

Neuropsychological and Psychological Testing


Dr. Nicole Kassissieh is a Licensed Clinical Psychologist with a primary focus on Pediatric Neuropsychological Assessments and Late-Diagnosis (neurodevelopmental issues not identified in childhood) Adult Assessments.

Dr. Kassissieh has over 20 years of experience, does all the testing herself, integrates clinical and background information and provides clear and detailed results with actionable recommendations. Individualized reports are written without the use of AI or generic templates.

A two-day comprehensive Neuropsychological Evaluation includes assessments of Psychological/Social-Emotional (Projective Testing), Developmental, Executive Functioning/Memory, Cognitive and Academic realms. Such testing can be invaluable in helping you and your child better understand learning style or other factors affecting behavior. Partial testing is available and will be pro-rated as needed.

Reports can be shared with Schools (for IEP development or Accommodations) and/or Therapists and Psychiatrists. Testing can also be used for Extended Time on Standardized Tests (from the GRE to the Bar Exam); College/Graduate School Accommodations; or, to help adults adjust work demands and communicate their needs with employers more effectively.

If testing has been completed recently, Dr. Kassissieh is available to review the assessments, treatment plans or Individual Education Plans in order to provide written recommendations.

Finally, consultation and supervision with other professionals; talks with students, teachers or parents; and, consultation about the need for testing are available.
