A psychological evaluation is a comprehensive assessment process used to understand an individual's mental health, cognitive abilities, emotional functioning, and behavior. It typically involves a combination of methods, including clinical interviews, standardized tests, questionnaires, and observations. The evaluation aims to gather detailed information to diagnose mental health conditions, identify cognitive strengths and weaknesses, and inform treatment planning. It can be used to diagnose psychological disorders and guide therapeutic interventions. The results are compiled into a report that provides insights and recommendations tailored to the individual's needs.

A comprehensive psychoeducational evaluation can help identify learning disabilities, autism, ADHD, and more. They are similar to psychological evaluations, but with a focus on testing intellectual, academic achievement, and psychological factors that might be impacting one's education. School based and DSM-5-TR diagnoses can be given, and recommendations for the school or workplace can be provided. Psychoeducational evaluations are often necessary to obtain accommodations or supports in the school, college/university, or workplace settings.

An IEE can be requested if your school district completed a Full and Individual Evaluation (FIE) and you disagree with the findings or would like a second opinion. IEEs are similar to psychoeducational evaluations, but they are paid for by the school district. They help determine school based disabilities and a need for special education services. 

Executive Skills Therapy is a structured, evidence-based program designed to help children and adolescents develop the organizational, planning, time management, and self-monitoring skills needed for success at school and at home. Using the STAND (Supporting Teens' Autonomy Daily) model as a foundation, treatment focuses on teaching practical strategies that students can apply immediately to manage assignments, stay organized, improve follow-through, and become more independent learners. Parents are actively involved throughout the process to help support skill development between sessions and promote lasting change.

Services begin with a comprehensive assessment session ($300) to identify the student's strengths, challenges, and goals. Following the assessment, most students participate in approximately 10 structured treatment sessions ($150 per session) that combine skill-building, problem-solving, progress monitoring, and parent coaching. 

Executive Skills Therapy is offered as a self-pay (private pay) service. Brainstorm Psychological Services is not in-network with any insurance companies, and insurance billing is not available for these services.
