Psychological Assessment Services

Welcome to The Carter Psychotherapy Group. We specialize in providing comprehensive psychological assessments for adults who are 18 years of age and older. 

Using various standard psychological tests, our goal is to help answer your questions concerning learning disabilities, academic functioning, personality, and coping styles.

We do not perform forensic psychological evaluations in anticipation of prosecution or litigation. Additionally, our evaluations cannot be strictly used as an assessment for formal disability services without prior consultation.

Full Psycho-Educational Evaluation

This evaluation aims to provide an in-depth study of an individual's cognitive processes and personality functioning. It can also be used to diagnose learning, behavioral, and psychiatric disorders.

Learning, Attention, or Personality Screening:

This evaluation aims to briefly assess cognitive, academic, or personality functioning that may be contributing to academic or behavioral problems. The results indicate whether a more in-depth study is necessary.

Diagnostic Evaluation

Achievement Testing

Attention & Executive Functioning
