Psychological Testing An important part of assessing a problem may be psychological testing. As a psychodiagnostician for over 25 years, I have evaluated children and adults reporting problems with: underachievement/school failure work performance lack of motivation attention/focusing intrusive thoughts emotional regulation (ie. anxiety, depression, anger, mood, swings) Each evaluation is done by me personally. I do not farm out work to others. As an experienced psychologist, I know the importance of going beyond the role of psychometrician. Test batteries must be brought to life by the active interplay of the psychologist's accumulated experience and tactful gathering of data from principal informants. As a university professor, I have taught the entire sequence of diagnostics, supervised interns, and reviewed protocols. I am up-to-date on the research and know the best instruments and their limitations. I have directly performed, supervised, and/or reviewed well over 1,000 test batteries and reports. Since I am also a certified school psychologist, my evaluations may be used by parents who want a second opinion or wish to contest an evaluation done by their school. As a teacher, I know how to talk with other teachers, how to formulate recommendations teachers can implement, and how to navigate the educational process.
