    • Communication

    • Coping strategies

    • Daily routines and school readiness

    Our goal is to build lasting emotional and behavioral skills that help children feel confident and successful.

  • Yuma Psychological Services provides comprehensive diagnostic evaluations for children, adolescents, and adults, conducted by a licensed psychologist.

    Assessments are appropriate when concerns extend beyond routine counseling and diagnostic clarification is needed to guide treatment, school planning, or personal understanding.

    Evaluations may address:

    • Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)

    • ADHD

    • Anxiety and mood disorders

    • Trauma-related conditions

    • Learning or cognitive concerns

    • Behavioral and developmental challenges

    Each evaluation includes a clinical interview, review of history, standardized testing, behavioral observations, and diagnostic formulation in accordance with DSM-5-TR criteria. A detailed written report is provided with clear findings and individualized recommendations.

    Evaluations are comprehensive, developmentally informed, and culturally responsive, with services available in person in Yuma and select components offered virtually for older adolescents and adults.
