Psychological Testing:

Allie has received comprehensive training in psychodiagnostic assessment with adolescents,

and adults across private practice and hospital settings. She uses assessment to provide clarity

regarding diagnoses such as Anxiety Disorders, ADHD, Learning Disorders, Oppositional Defiant

Disorder, and questions regarding personality structure in adults. Allie incorporates cognitive,

academic, and personality measures, in addition to information and measures from collateral

sources, such as family members or teachers, to ensure a thorough and accurate evaluation.

She views the assessment process as an opportunity to help clients and families feel a sense of

certainty not just about diagnoses, but about treatment and their next steps moving forward.
