Psychotherapy &
Animal-Assisted Neuropsychotherapy
Evidence-Based Psychotherapy services (aka therapy or talk therapy) will be offered from a multitude of different approaches so as to address different types of problems unique to the individual.
Comprehensive
Neuropsychological
Evaluation
Ages 6 and up; adults
Comprehensive neuropsychological assessment includes integrated assessments of intelligence, verbal and language skills, nonverbal and visuospatial skills, executive functioning, attention, and various cognitive domains as well as learning and academic skills, social, emotional, and behavioral functioning.
Early Childhood/
Neurodevelopmental
Assessment
Neurodevelopmental assessments for young children include integrated assessment of early cognitive (intellectual) skills, language/communication, early learning and executive functioning and attention, as well as assessment of social, emotional, and behavioral functioning (including direct assessment of social and play skills, if warranted).
Consultation
Consultation services may be recommended by Dr. Murray in certain cases (e.g., following an initial intake if a full comprehensive evaluation is not warranted), and in certain cases additional consultation services may be needed or requested by caregivers and are provided as needed. These include services such as
- special education meeting attendance/participation
- follow-up consultation or additional feedback sessions with parents and/or providers
- additional written letters of support or clarification
- additional review of records
- phone calls initiated by the parent/caregiver
- emails initiated by the parent/caregiver
- additional child/adolescent feedback appointments
Intelligence (IQ) Testing
& PsychoEd Evaluations
Stand-alone, standardized assessment of intelligence (IQ) and psychoeducational testing (IQ and academic achievement) with written reports provided within 2 days of the testing appointment.
Targeted/Focused
Evaluations
In certain cases, Dr. Murray may recommend a more targeted evaluation assessing one or two specific domains/areas of concern. These may include a targeted evaluation of attention or impulsivity (e.g., ADHD, Autism, or Dementia symptoms), academic progress monitoring (educational achievement), or emotional/psychological functioning for the purpose of diagnostic clarification or confirmation and/or to monitor response to treatment (e.g., through special education, tutoring services, or to measure progress in one area of skills compared to prior functioning).
