Clinical Psychological Services, LLC

Dedicated to Psychological Testing and Consultation Services       

My Services

If you have reached this website, you are likely looking for answers to questions and concerns you have about the behavior, emotions and/or cognitive functioning for you or your loved one.

Although psychological testing can seem overwhelming, it is designed to help you understand and find the correct treatment for your/their current symptoms.

Just like medical test are done to understand a patient’s physical symptoms, psychological testing uses tests, questionnaires, and clinical observation to understand a person’s behavior, personality, cognitive and social-emotional functioning.

Consultation

During our first meeting together we will work together to identify the type of assessment that is needed to find the best answers for you and your loved one.

Psychological Testing

I offer quality, timely and thorough testing for children 6 years and up, adolescents and adults. I use a variety of evidence-based data collection methods, with standardized, well-researched psychological tests, clinical observation, and review of records. I analyze these and integrate them into a written psychological report that is shared with you in a collaborative environment to generate a treatment plan.

Psychoeducational Testing

I offer psychoeducational testing of a client’s cognitive, achievement, and adaptive functioning. The goal is to understand and clarify the client’s learning style and use this data to guide accommodations and support from an educational perspective.

Hi, I’m Lorena

My services are self-pay only. The first session (Diagnostic Intake Session) costs $150.00.

What is the difference between Psychological Testing and Psychoeducational Testing?

Psychological Testing is used to identify and diagnose a person’s behavior, personality, cognitive and social-emotional functioning and understand the effects that these conditions have on your life whether work, home, school or other.

With this knowledge, we can identify the effects and develop a plan of intervention to help you find a way forward towards better functioning in your life.

Psychoeducational Testing is used to identify and diagnose cognitive and learning disabilities such as:

  • Dyslexia (Reading Disorder)
  • Dysgraphia (Writing Disorder)
  • Dyscalculia (Mathematics Disorder)

Aren’t testing services available in a school system at no cost?

Typically only psychoeducational testing is conducted in the schools at no cost to the client. However, I may be able to conduct the assessment in a more timely manner or if you are looking for a second opinion.
