Comprehensive Pediatric Neurodevelopmental/Psychological Evaluations (ages 2-21):
Understand and assess the child’s learning style, neuroprofile, ADHD, Autism, Learning Differences, Giftedness, and Twice Exceptional “2e.”
This in-depth understanding of a child's unique profile results in a clear road map of how to best support the child therapeutically, and at school and home.
Families share how empowered they feel following the evaluation.
Parenting Support
Parents and Caregivers - you are not alone! Parenting is HARD and one of the most meaningful experiences we will have.
Dr. Joy is here to help you parent your neurodivergent child in a way that supports your relationship, regulation, and resilience.
Family Therapy
We heal through our relationships. Stress turns into resilience when we have connections where we feel seen and understood.
Family therapy offers a unique opportunity to build resilience by supporting communication, regulation, and connection within our family and ourselves.
