At Mindful Psychology & Wellness, I provide comprehensive psychological and neuropsychological evaluations to help children, adolescents, and adults understand their cognitive strengths, processing challenges, emotional functioning, and learning profile. Whether you suspect ADHD, autism spectrum, learning disabilities, or are seeking clarity around mood or executive functioning, these evaluations provide objective insight and a clear roadmap forward.
