Counseling and Assessments at the SMart Center

Individuals are often diagnosed with ADHD following self-reports and clinical interviews. However, ADHD often overlaps with many other diagnoses and symptoms including anxiety, trauma, depression, and other disorders. That is why formalized executive functioning testing is always recommended in order to obtain an accurate diagnostic picture and impression. A comprehensive report along with recommendations is provided and reviewed at a feedback session with a licensed psychologist.

At Counseling & Assessments at the SMart Center, we utilize the Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule-2 (ADOS-2) as well as the Autism Diagnostic Interview (ADI-R) which are considered to be the ‘gold standard’ for diagnosing Autism. The evaluator will schedule a feedback session with the caregiver and the client which will review the results of the testing, diagnostic information, and specific-individualized recommendations.

Counseling & Assessments at the SMart Center looks at the whole person, not just their diagnosis. Our team of multi-disciplinary professionals utilizes a ‘whole-person approach’ to treatment. We deliver evidence-based approaches – such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, psychodynamic therapy, and a family systems approach – to our clients.
