What to Expect: Our Assessment & Therapy Process

A Clear, Supportive Path Forward in Pasadena

We know that seeking psychological support—whether for a comprehensive neuropsychological evaluation, psychoeducational testing, or ongoing therapy for teens and adults—is a significant step. It often begins with questions, uncertainty, and a desire for meaningful change.

At Huntington Psychological Services, our philosophy is simple: we provide the same level of expert, compassionate care we would want for our own families. To remove the confusion often associated with mental healthcare, we have designed a structured, transparent process so you always know exactly what comes next.

Using gold-standard assessment tools, we conduct the evaluation in a calm and supportive environment at our Pasadena office. We know testing can feel intimidating, so our clinicians are experts at moving at a pace that feels comfortable, ensuring the experience is both positive and productive.

Step 1: Intake

It all begins with a conversation. In this warm, comprehensive session, we take the time to truly listen to your story. We review your history, understand your unique concerns, and set clear goals to ensure our evaluation answers your specific questions.

Step 2: Testing

You will receive a comprehensive, detailed report. Far more than just test scores, this document serves as a practical roadmap, providing the clear, actionable recommendations you need to share with schools, physicians, and your support system.

Step 3: Feedback

Once the data is analyzed, we sit down with you to translate complex clinical findings into clear, accessible language. We explain the "why" behind the behaviors you are seeing, deliver formal diagnoses if applicable, and explore your individual profile of strengths.
