What Makes Us Different

Choosing an assessment psychologist is a significant decision, one often made after years of uncertainty or evaluations that never fully captured the whole picture. Families come to LACIA when they want depth, clarity, and expertise, not just test results or a label. We believe that a truly excellent evaluation does more than clarify diagnoses, it reshapes self-understanding.

Our work helps individuals and families:

• Make sense of long-standing challenges

• Recognize overlooked strengths

• Advocate confidently in schools and clinical settings

• Move forward with clarity and relief

For many clients, a comprehensive evaluation at LACIA marks a turning point where years of confusion finally resolve into understanding. If you are seeking a thoughtful, strengths based, neurodiversity-affirming assessment, we would be honored to work with you.

Testing Services

Our assessment battery is individually curated for each client to examine cognition, processing, memory, learning, executive functioning, and social-emotional experience in depth. Diagnosis, when relevant, is treated not as an endpoint, but as one part of a nuanced, whole-person understanding that supports growth, self-understanding, and long-term thriving.

Consultation Services

We also provide consultation services for families that have had testing elsewhere (including via the IEP process) within the last three years. Through the consultation model, we help to demystify test results and diagnosis as well as build your child’s self-awareness. When appropriate, consultation can be a faster, more cost-effective way to understand the information that we already know about a student and to ensure that the treatment plan is targeted and effective.

Abbreviated Battery

We also offer streamlined assessments for college or postsecondary students seeking accommodations. Ideal for those who need updated documentation for disability services or support with standardized testing requirements.
