Providing Evidence-Based Therapy and Evaluations for Children, Teens, and their Families
Our Approach
Strengths-Based
Evaluations and therapy at Stanford Psychological Services emphasize an individuals’ resilience, capabilities, and potential rather than solely focusing on providing a diagnosis. We believe in providing meaningful strategies to achieve personal goals for you or your child so you can move forward with clarity and and purpose.
Neurodiversity Affirming
With a firm belief in the quote by Temple Grandin, “The world needs all kinds of minds,” evaluation services are provided with the goal of fostering greater self-understanding, acceptance, and growth.
Research/Evidence Supported
All therapy strategies and assessments are grounded in current research and evidence-based practices. By using gold-standard diagnostic tools, you can be confident that the assessment you receive is scientifically supported.
Biopsychosocial Model
The biopsychosocial model emphasizes that in order to fully understand someone, one must take into account biological (e.g., genetics; family history), psychological (the way someone thinks/feels about the world), and social (how one relates to others) factors. At Stanford Psychological Services, PLLC, we utilize this model with every patient and family.
