We provide Psychoeducational and ADHD evaluations for individuals ages 6-25. We also conduct forensic evaluations to assist attorneys in better understanding the psychological factors that impact their clients.

What is Mindfulness?

Mindfulness is exercise for the brain. When practiced regularly, by meditating or simply redirecting your attention back to the present moment using one of your five senses, your brain chemistry will actually change causing you to feel more calm, focused, happy, and able to manage any difficult thoughts and emotions that you experience.
