Children and Adolescents Therapy
Adolescents also deal with the unique problem that they are not children, but they are not adults neither. This can cause adolescents to feel like they are in a weird state where not many people understand them. Therapy can help bridge that gap and make adolescents feel more comfortable. Therapy for children and adolescents is important, because mental health issues that are not dealt with at an early age, can develop into something far more serious.
Family and Couple Therapy
Working together as a team to try and resolve issues can lead to an even stronger bond. In the case of a couple, things can be complicated even though you love your partner dearly.
Clash of personalities, different parenting styles, lack of trust: all these can all contribute to struggles in a relationship. Therapy is so helpful in these situations because a therapist can spot these problems and be unbiased in their professional approach.
Adults and Elderly Therapy
The elderly have problems with the transition of aging. Elderly people also might have trouble reflecting on their lives, and therapy would be a great method to heal that.
Psychological Evaluations
Psychological Evaluations might sound complicated, but to our capable and competent team it is actually very simple! First, is the intake session, where you work with your clinician to understand your history, your symptoms, and to give each other an idea as to what might be happening.
Shortly after, is the actual Psychological Evaluation, where you take tests that search for certain mental disorders. Lastly, you will sit with your clinician and discuss the results. Nice and easy!
We offer Psychological Evaluation (includes personality tests), Psychometric Evaluation (includes IQ test), and Psychodiagnostic Evaluation (includes the exploration of ADHD, a Learning Disability, and Autism Spectrum) including ADOS-2.

TESTIMONIALS
If you are looking for a Very caring and professional psychologists look no further. Dr. Peña inspires trust and treats others with dignity and respect. She is very passionate about helping others with kindness and a sense of humanity. She is a great listener and communicator. She is bilingual (English and Spanish), and has experience working with different cultures. She is fantastic and knows what she needs to help you. I highly recommend her!
Amazing work from everyone staffed here. From the doctors to the receptionist. I went in for a psychological evaluation for both of my kids. I’m very well pleased, from the warm atmosphere of both the office and the people who work here, to the services they provide. Especially for those who have Medicaid because when it comes to getting help for your child, there are many wait lists, but here they are prompt!
My daughter had a full psychological evaluation with Dr. Pena. She is really knowledgeable and takes the time to explain fully the results of the evaluation. We are really pleased with the services received from the clinic. Also, it was really easy to get an appointment for these kinds of services. I called several places, and everywhere were telling me there was a long waiting list or they were going to call me, but this clinic got me an appointment within a reasonable period of time. I would recommend this clinic for anyone needing these kinds of services.
