• Compulsions
• Temper tantrums
• Oppositional behavior
• Anger
• Self-harm

You may have scoured the internet for solutions, and you may have tried all sorts of methods to try and solve the problem. Your child may even be in some form of therapy but you’re not sure it’s working. At Brain Spectrum Neuropsychology, we believe that accurate diagnosis is the first step in developing an effective treatment plan.

We conduct comprehensive psychological evaluations with the goal of providing you with diagnostic clarity. Dr. Thurlow has been conducting complex assessments of children, teens, and adults with multiple diagnoses and co-occurring profiles for many years and she understands the complicated nature of the human psyche.

This is not a quick process. Our psychological evaluations are detailed, and they involve cognitive testing, personality assessment, in-depth clinical interviewing, and behavioral observations.

If you or your child is diagnosed with a behavioral, emotional, or more complex multi-faceted issue, Dr. Thurlow will discuss these diagnoses with you during a feedback session. She will also offer evidence-based recommendations and provide treatment referrals upon request.

You will also be provided with a comprehensive report of the results.
