Assessment and intervention under one roof.

Assessment is Intervention.

At Keller Psych, we do not view evaluation and treatment as separate processes. The most meaningful outcomes happen when assessment and intervention are closely connected—when the clinician identifying a child’s challenges also understands how to translate those findings into practical, individualized support. Rather than delivering test results in isolation, we use the evaluation process to shape treatment planning, inform school and home supports, and help families move forward with confidence. This integrated approach leads to recommendations that are more personalized and actionable.

Neuropsychological Assessment

Neuropsychological assessment is a comprehensive evaluation of how a child thinks, learns, and processes information. It examines areas such as attention, learning, memory, executive functioning, language, and social-emotional functioning. This type of assessment helps identify a child’s unique pattern of strengths and vulnerabilities, while also clarifying whether challenges may be related to ADHD, learning differences, autism, anxiety, mood, or other developmental or emotional factors. The goal is not simply to generate a diagnosis, but to better understand the whole child and provide practical, personalized recommendations that support success at home, in school, and in daily life.

Therapy

Therapy offers evidence-based, short-term support for children and adolescents struggling with anxiety, emotional regulation, behavior challenges, executive functioning difficulties, and related day-to-day stressors. Using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), treatment helps young people develop practical coping skills, improve flexibility, and build healthier patterns of thinking and responding. Therapy is collaborative, goal-oriented, and focused on real-world change, with strategies that can be applied right away at home, at school, and in everyday life.

Parent Coaching

Behavioral parent coaching is a short-term, evidence-based intervention that helps parents manage challenging behavior and build a calmer, more connected home environment. Using practical strategies drawn from Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT) and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), sessions focus on increasing cooperation, reducing conflict, strengthening positive behavior, and improving the parent-child relationship. Parent coaching can be especially helpful for children with ADHD, executive functioning challenges, anxiety, and emotional regulation difficulties. The goal is to equip parents with effective tools they can use in daily life to support their child’s self-regulation, behavior, and overall functioning.

School Consultation: For Parents

School consultation helps families advocate for the supports their child needs to succeed at school. Services may include review of school records, neuropsychological testing results, IEPs, 504 plans, and other educational evaluations, as well as collaboration with teachers, learning specialists, and school teams. Consultation can also include attendance at school meetings, such as IEP or 504 conferences, to help clarify a child’s profile and recommend appropriate accommodations, services, and strategies. The goal is to turn assessment findings and therapy insights into practical school-based supports that promote academic progress, emotional well-being, and overall school success.

In addition to services for families, Keller Psych also offers consultation, training, supervision, and program development for organizations and professionals. These services draw on expertise in neuropsychology, evidence-based therapy, and integrated pediatric behavioral health to help teams support children and adolescents across a variety of contexts.

Professional Services

Clinical Supervision

I offer clinical supervision for postdoctoral fellows and doctoral externs seeking advanced training in pediatric neuropsychological assessment and evidence-based intervention. Supervision is tailored to the trainee’s level of experience and includes support with case conceptualization, differential diagnosis, test selection and interpretation, report writing, feedback, and recommendation planning. For trainees providing therapy, supervision focuses on the delivery of evidence-based interventions, including CBT, ACT, behavioral parent coaching, and PCIT. My goal is to help trainees develop fluency in both evidence-based assessment and intervention. I place particular emphasis on increasing clinicians’ skill and confidence in neuropsychological testing, and in delivering high-quality CBT and third-wave behavioral treatments to children, adolescents, and families.

Program Development

I provide program development and consultation, with particular expertise in integrated pediatric primary care. My work includes building doctoral training programs in clinical child psychology for organizations expanding their behavioral health services, developing trainings for schools on behavioral health integration, diagnostic considerations, and evidence-based interventions, and delivering didactics for hospital and healthcare teams. Broadly, my goal is to help healthcare organizations, schools, and nonprofits thoughtfully integrate evidence-based practices into the settings where children and families naturally receive care.

School Consultation: For Educators and Administrators

I provide school consultation to help educators better understand and support students’ academic, emotional, and behavioral needs. My work includes developing trainings for school professionals on specific diagnoses, evidence-based treatment approaches, and practical school-based accommodations and supports. I also partner with schools to provide parent education on a variety of topics, including technology boundaries, child anxiety, and executive functioning challenges. Broadly, my goal is to help schools and families translate clinical insight into actionable support.
