Why Consider Psychological Testing?
Psychological testing and assessment can provide valuable insights into how you think, feel, learn, and behave. Whether you're seeking answers about attention difficulties, learning challenges, mood concerns, or developmental differences, psychological testing offers a clear path to understanding. At Stokes Counseling and Consulting, we use evidence-based assessments to help individuals, families, and professionals make informed decisions about care, education, and life planning.
Psychological testing can be especially helpful if you're exploring concerns related to ADHD, autism, memory or cognitive changes, emotional functioning, or personality traits. These evaluations are also used to support school accommodations, determine gifted placement, prepare for legal proceedings, or guide treatment planning in therapy.
What to Expect During the Assessment Process:
Testing sessions may include structured interviews, questionnaires, performance-based tasks, and behavioral observations. Once complete, your clinician will review the results with you in a feedback session, providing a written report with clear recommendations tailored to your unique needs.
Whether you're seeking ADHD testing, autism screening, neuropsychological testing, or a psychoeducational evaluation, our goal is to help you find clarity, confidence, and direction.

Autism may present as social communication challenges, behavioral rigidity, emotional regulation difficulties, and trouble coping with transitions or changes in routine. This can look like a child who prefers solitary play, avoids social events, or experiences meltdowns and heightened anxiety in response to change.
