​

We offer comprehensive psychological evaluations for children, adolescents, and adults. Assessments are approached with care, curiosity, and respect for each individual.

​

Evaluations are personalized and may include interviews, standardized measures, and collaboration with caregivers or other providers when appropriate. The goal is to clarify questions, identify strengths and areas of need, and provide thoughtful recommendations that support growth, healing, and next steps.

​

Children & Adolescent Evaluations

When a child or adolescent is struggling — emotionally, behaviorally, socially, or academically — it can be difficult to know where to begin. Our evaluations are designed to provide clarity while creating a supportive and comfortable experience for both young people and their caregivers.

​

We take time to understand the whole child, including developmental history, family context, and current concerns. Assessments are conducted in a warm, developmentally appropriate manner that helps children feel at ease.

​

Evaluations may help address:

• Attention concerns

• Emotional or behavioral challenges

• Social or developmental questions

• Diagnostic clarification

• Recommendations and treatment planning

​

Insurance authorization is required prior to scheduling testing. Assessment appointments typically take place in the office and may last approximately 2–5 hours. During this time, your child or adolescent will meet individually with Dr. Cachara and participate in the testing process. Parents or caregivers will be asked to provide clinically relevant background information and complete rating forms during the appointment. To support your child’s independence and focus, we ask that parents remain in the waiting area for the duration of testing.

 

As part of the evaluation process, you will also be asked to sign release-of-information forms so that relevant individuals (such as therapists, teachers, or other providers) may share input. Dr. Cachara values a collaborative and comprehensive approach, and gathering perspectives from those involved in your child’s life helps ensure accurate understanding and meaningful recommendations.

​

Following completion of testing, scoring, interpretation, and report preparation, results are typically available within 4-6 weeks. You will be offered a feedback appointment to review findings, discuss recommendations, and ask questions. Please note that families are financially responsible for any portion of services not covered by insurance.

Adult Evaluations

Adult assessments offer an opportunity to better understand yourself, your experiences, and the challenges you may be navigating. Whether you are seeking clarity, support in treatment planning, or documentation for personal or professional needs, evaluations are collaborative and respectful of your goals.

​

Areas often explored include:

• Attention and executive functioning concerns

• Emotional or mental health questions

• Diagnostic clarification

• Recommendations and treatment planning
