Welcome
Raising children and adolescents can be difficult, especially those with social-emotional, cognitive, behavioral or learning challenges. Pediatric neuropsychological and developmental assessments often provide insight into how a child or adolescent is developing, pinpoint strengths and weaknesses and identify strategies for promoting their success and happiness. As a psychologist, Dr. Johnson works collaboratively with families, schools and other clinicians to develop practical interventions and programs for children ranging in age from infancy into young adulthood.
Benefits of evaluation and consultation
With the comfortable, safe and supportive atmosphere provided by Dr. Johnson, parents understand better their child's strengths and weaknesses and develop strategies and resources for helping their children function more successfully. Dr. Johnson is only taking a limited number of new clients at this time for neuropsychological, psychological or developmental testing, given her commitments to other organizations.
