We provide services for both adults and children ages 5 and up.

Psychological Assessment

Psychological assessment, conducted by a licensed psychologist, help evaluate a person's mental health, behaviors, emotions, and cognitive abilities. These assessments provide valuable insights for diagnosing and guiding treatment.

For children, we offer:

  • Autism Spectrum Disorder testing at age 3
  • ADHD testing beginning at age 5
  • Learning disorder/achievement testing starting in first grade
  • Diagnostic clarification and IQ evaluations

For adults, we offer:

  • Diagnostic clarification
  • ADHD and IQ testing
  • Memory or other age-related cognitive changes

Medication Assisted Treatment (MAT)

MAT helps individuals who are struggling with addiction through the use of medication management that's aimed at reducing cravings and withdrawal symptoms, while improving the chance of lasting recovery. It's a whole-patient approach that is tailored to each individual's needs and guided by clinical care. 

MAT has proven especially effective in treating alcohol and opioid dependence. When used as part of a comprehensive treatment program it can: 

  • Improve survival rates
  • Help people stay in treatment longer
  • Reduce the risk of hepatitis and HIV
  • Lower rates of criminal activity
  • Support employment
  • Improve outcomes for pregnant individuals with use disorders 

If you think MAT might be right for you, talk with your counselor and/or physician to learn more about your options.
