Why Choose a Child Psychologist in NJ?

Learning Disability Evaluation

Our Approach

1. Initial Consultation

We begin with a detailed session to understand your child’s background, presenting concerns, medical history, developmental disorders, and emotional patterns.

2. Psychological Testing & Clinical Interview

We utilize standardized tools, behavioral inventories, and age-appropriate clinical interviews to evaluate attention, emotional regulation, learning differences, and behavioral health patterns. Depending on your child’s needs, we may assess for conditions like bipolar disorder, obsessive/compulsive disorder, or trauma from experiences such as sexual abuse.
