COMPREHENSIVE TESTING
Finding a pathway forward with professional evaluations
Through Psychological Testing we can help you identify your strengths, what might be hard for you, and what type of support is needed to ensure that you thrive. After testing we provide a feedback session to help put the diagnosis in context for parents, school, and/or treating professionals.
At TPG, we answer or return calls in a timely manner. If you are exploring Psychological Testing, get started by calling our office today.

THERAPY FOR ANXIETY
What is Therapy
When thinking of anxiety, it can be easy to picture someone clutching their chest, breathing irregularly, and looking frozen as if they were stuck in the moment and had no way out. While this description is true for some individuals, for many others anxiety sneaks into their daily lives, showing up most at moments when they feel particularly triggered.
These can be small instances like speaking up for yourself when the barista got your coffee order wrong, speaking up when someone mispronounces your name, or much larger experiences such as revisiting an old car crash site. Either way, the anxiety that both individuals feel is valid to their experiences and should be addressed with sincerity.
