I am not accepting new patients for counseling or therapy. My practice is now exclusively devoted to diagnostic evaluations and testing for gifted, child & adult ADD/ADHD, learning disabilities, educational & test accommodations, autism, mental health disorders and law enforcement personnel. I can provide appropriate referrals following an evaluation.
My practice is self-pay, but I can provide receipts for you to file with insurance. I am one of only about 4% of psychologists who is Board Certified by the American Board of Professional Psychology. My practice consists of 75% children & adolescents and 25% adults.

I've been practicing psychology in northern Palm Beach County for over 35 years.

My M.A. and B.A. degrees in psychology were awarded by Bucknell University, Lewisburg, Pa.
My current practice involves evaluating children, adolescents and adults for a variety of issues.

Score of 130 or above (98th percentile) on an individually administered intelligence test.
I administer the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children (WISC-V) to children 6 and older and the Wechsler Primary & Preschool Intelligence Scale (WPPSI-IV) to 4 and 5 year olds.
The Wechsler tests are considered the "gold standard" for individual IQ tests.
An entire evaluation and discussion of results takes about 75-90 minutes.
The actual testing takes from 40-50 minutes.
That leaves at least 30 minutes of discussion with parents.

The most common learning disability is a reading disability (dyslexia) followed by written language and math disabilities.
A learning disability is not the same as Attention Deficit Disorder.
A person can have one or both of these problems.
If you are unsure whether you or your child has a learning disability or ADD/ADHD or both, you can schedule an initial consultation with me.
After learning more about the problem, I'll advise you about the type of evaluation that seems most appropriate.
In addition, if during the course of testing, I learn or observe behavior that might suggest a problem other than, or in addition to a learning disability (e.g., an attentional dysfunction or emotional problem), I'll inform you and I may suggest additional assessments.

A diagnosis of AD(H)D, a learning disability, or a psychological disorder alone does not qualify someone for educational accommodations such as extended time on tests.
Chapter 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1974 and The Americans with Disabilities Act state that one must provide evidence of a disability that functionally limits or impairs a major life activity, i.e., learning, concentrating, reading.
Not all individuals with disabilities are functionally limited such that they require educational accommodations.
