We are a psychiatry practice with offices in Reston and Falls Church that offers neuropsychological evaluations. A comprehensive evaluation assesses memory, language, problem solving, reasoning, learning, and adaptive skills through a clinical interview, standardized oral and written tests, record review, and collateral interviews with a close friend or loved one. Schools may also request an evaluation to understand how someone learns and to identify barriers to learning. We also provide ADHD care, medication management, and counseling.

We offer virtual and in-person psychological testing and evaluations. Our professionally administered evaluations use validated measures of intellectual functioning, personality dynamics, and educational achievement, with neuropsychological tests available as well. Services include learning disability determination, ADHD diagnosis, giftedness assessments, and fitness for duty evaluations. A learning disability assessment looks at cognitive abilities, academic skills, and learning processes to find gaps between potential and performance in areas such as reading, writing, or math.

We provide adult psychological testing at our Reston office. Our individualized evaluations explore ADHD, autism, learning differences, and questions related to mood or anxiety. We assess attention, executive functioning, processing speed, memory, learning, and mood-related factors using validated instruments, and we take care to separate ADHD symptoms from anxiety, depression, or stress. Adults often come to us after years of adapting to challenges with focus or organization, or after noticing similar patterns in their children. We provide superbills for possible out-of-network reimbursement.
