About My Clients
Our therapy and testing services can address a wide range of issues, from anxiety and depression to behavioral problems, ADHD and ASD symptoms. Test results help uncover a child's unique strengths and vulnerabilities, so we can put together a roadmap that will help each individual reach their full potential. Techniques such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), play therapy, and mindfulness practices are often employed to help children develop coping strategies and emotional resilience.
My Background and Approach
Dr. McDonald is a clinical neuropsychologist with specialized experience working with children, teens and young adults. Our "evidence-based" and individually tailored evaluations provide families with a holistic understanding of their child's abilities in order to capture their potential within the moving target of development. The holistic approach employed to testing and therapy at Whole Child Neuro ensures that all aspects of a child's development are considered, including emotional, cognitive, social, and physical well-being. Our whole child approach, involves looking beyond a child's immediate symptoms or challenges to understand the broader context of their life. This includes their family dynamics, school environment, social interactions, and personal experiences, so we can develop a comprehensive understanding of the child's needs and tailor interventions accordingly.
