About Us
Testing in Progress, LLC was started to help people explore their personality traits, their view of the world and their current functioning. Psychological assessments can help you discover how you think about your surroundings, people in your life and how you interact with others. This can then help you explore new ways of solving problems.
If you are currently participating in mental health treatment, psychological assessment can answer questions your therapist might have and provide information you may have been unwilling or hesitant to communicate. Testing can help “jumpstart” your therapy and document what progress you’ve already made. Psychological testing can help lead you to develop goals and help you on your path to better-being. Testing can also help identify any difficulties you might be facing in an academic environment, which would assist in obtaining accommodations in school for a learning disorder, attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder, or developmental difficulties. Specific problems can be identified and effective strategies and educational techniques can be implemented to help achieve success in school.
At Testing in Progress, LLC, we approach testing as a collaboration between you, the psychologist and, if you are currently participating in mental health treatment, your therapist. If you are comfortable and it is appropriate, we will ask you to come up with questions you have about yourself. These don’t need to be long-drawn out questions; they can simply be puzzles or curiosities you’ve wondered about. These questions will be the backbone of the assessment. When the testing is complete, we’ll have a session in which we discuss the findings and how they relate to your questions. You will later receive a letter detailing what was discussed in the final session and have the opportunity to return so we can talk about the tests, findings and letter more if you wish. Many people have found this type of assessment process a powerful experience that helps them to change areas of their lives. Therapists have found that this can help “jumpstart” therapy again, especially if you’ve been feeling stuck.
For clients seeking counseling, we offer psychotherapy for adults experiencing problems in living such as depression, anxiety, relationship difficulties and sexual issues. We have also enjoyed working with the gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender community.
