Comprehensive Testing for Clear Answers
ADHD, autism, learning differences, cognitive concerns, emotional functioning, and complex diagnostic questions for children, teens, and adults in California.
Common Reasons People Come To Us
-
Focus isn’t just about willpower—it’s about how your brain is wired.
Many people believe ADHD is simply "can't sit still," but in adults and teens, it often looks like chronic overwhelm.
Difficulty staying on task: Starting projects but rarely finishing them.
Executive Dysfunction: Forgetting appointments, losing keys, or "time blindness."
Restlessness: A racing mind or impulsivity in conversations and spending.
BonPsy Insight: ADHD is a neurodevelopmental condition affecting the brain's executive functions—the management system of the brain. It is not a behavior problem; it is a regulation problem.
Our Approach: We assess attention span, working memory, and behavioral regulation. We distinguish ADHD from anxiety, trauma, or burnout to ensure your care plan is accurate and actionable.
-
When worry becomes constant, and "calm" feels unreachable.
Anxiety is more than just stress; it is a persistent physiological state of "fight or flight."
Racing Thoughts: The "what-if" loop that prevents sleep or focus.
Avoidance: Skipping social events or work tasks to escape discomfort.
Physical Tension: Unexplained headaches, stomach issues, or tight muscles.
BonPsy Insight: Anxiety disorders (Generalized Anxiety, Panic Disorder, Social Anxiety) hijack the brain's amygdala, causing it to perceive threats where there are none.
Our Approach: We evaluate the severity of symptoms and distinguish generalized anxiety from specific phobias or trauma responses. This clarity helps in selecting the right therapy or medication management.
-
Neurodivergence isn’t a deficit—it’s a different way of experiencing the world. Autism looks different in every individual, especially in high-masking adults and females who may have gone undiagnosed for years.
Social Nuance: Difficulty interpreting sarcasm, facial expressions, or social cues.
Sensory Processing: Overwhelm from loud noises, textures, or lights.
Specialized Focus: Deep, intense interests and a preference for routine.
BonPsy Insight: Autism is a spectrum of neurotypes characterized by differences in communication and sensory processing. It is not something to be "cured," but understood.
Our Approach: We assess developmental history and cognitive markers across all age groups. Our goal is to clarify the diagnosis so families and individuals can leverage their neurodivergent strengths.
-
Struggling in school doesn’t mean you aren’t capable.
A learning disability is often a gap between high intelligence and academic performance.
Specific Struggles: Trouble with reading (Dyslexia), math (Dyscalculia), or writing despite effort.
Processing Speed: Difficulty following multi-step instructions or keeping up in class.
Academic Anxiety: Low self-esteem strictly related to school performance.
BonPsy Insight: Learning disabilities are neurological differences in how the brain processes information. They are not related to intelligence or laziness.
Our Approach: We identify your specific learning profile. We help distinguish learning disabilities from ADHD, guiding you toward IEP/504 accommodations and support tools that actually work.
-
When retention, recall, or comprehension feel out of reach.
Cognitive testing explores the "how" and "why" of your brain's processing speed and storage.
Recall Issues: Difficulty remembering recent conversations or instructions.
Organization: Trouble organizing thoughts or learning new material.
Brain Fog: Frequent forgetfulness in daily tasks that impacts work or school.
The Clinical Insight: Memory issues can stem from various sources, including ADHD, anxiety, aging, or post-COVID cognitive effects.
Our Approach: We identify how your brain processes and stores information. Whether you're struggling academically or noticing cognitive changes, we assess memory, attention, and learning style to guide support strategies.
-
Testing to clarify giftedness, twice-exceptional profiles, and how a child or adult learns best.
-
When symptoms overlap or a previous diagnosis doesn’t quite fit, we help untangle complex, co-occurring presentations to get you a clear answer.
