Psychological & Neuropsychological Assessment
Individual therapy at San Diego Mindfulness Center offers compassionate, connected, client-focused support through a mindfulness lens. Our therapists integrate mindfulness-based principles with approaches like cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), and psychodynamic and existential therapy, matching the approach to you rather than the other way around.
Who Assessment Can Help
Personality, intelligence, or memory
ADHD or other attention-related concerns
Neurocognitive disorders
Diagnostic clarity before starting or adjusting medication
Possible effects of a brain injury or head trauma
Learning disorders or academic difficulties
Career direction, strengths, or fit
Assessments can also help guide a child's academic path by ruling in or ruling out issues like learning disorders or ADHD — information that's often just as useful for parents and teachers as it is for treatment planning. The wrong diagnosis can lead to unnecessary medication or misguided treatment, which is exactly what a thorough assessment is designed to prevent.

For Referring Providers
If you're a physician, therapist, or school counselor considering an assessment referral, our associate marriage and family therapists can conduct initial screenings to help determine whether comprehensive testing is warranted. From there, our assessment team, led by Dr. Lindsay Kittredge, conducts the full evaluation in-house and virtually, and we're happy to share results and recommendations with your office as part of coordinated care, with proper consent.
What to Expect
Assessment typically begins with a brief consultation to understand what's prompting the evaluation, followed by virtual testing sessions with one of our assessment clinicians. You'll receive a comprehensive report with findings and treatment recommendations, which we're glad to share with any referring provider or school with your consent.
