When people look for this

Most people start searching after something feels “off” for a while—focus problems, memory concerns, mood changes, relationship stress, or a major life event. Some want clarity after a concussion or other medical issue. Others want answers about ADHD, anxiety, or depression.

If you’re in the Harrisonburg area, the Shenandoah Valley, or anywhere else in Virginia, telehealth can make it easier to get support sooner.

What to expect in an appointment

  1. Start with your story. What’s been happening, and what you want to change.
  2. Choose the right approach. Therapy, an assessment, or a mix of both—based on your goals.
  3. Leave with a plan. Clear recommendations, coping strategies, and next steps.

Therapy options

Therapy can help with anxiety, depression, stress, relationship conflict, and life transitions. Many people also look for skills-based approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to change unhelpful patterns and build healthier habits.

Neuropsychological testing and cognitive evaluation

When the goal is clarity about thinking skills—attention, memory, processing speed, or executive function—neuropsychological testing can help. Testing can also support questions around ADHD, brain injury, dementia, or other cognitive concerns.
