Assessments we offer:
-
Autism Assessments
For many children and adults, an autism diagnosis has been a long time coming. We provide thorough, nuanced evaluation for autism spectrum disorder across the lifespan.
-
ADHD Assessments
ADHD is complex, frequently misunderstood, and looks different in every person. We evaluate for ADHD in children, adolescents, and adults, with attention to the full picture.
-
Dementia Assessments
When memory or cognition begins to change, it is important to understand why. We evaluate for dementia, mild cognitive impairment, and related conditions affecting cognition in older adults.
How We Help Children With Neuropsychology
Assessment: Understanding your child starts with the right evaluation. Our comprehensive evaluations go beyond a diagnosis to reveal a clear, detailed picture of their strengths, vulnerabilities, and needs.
Therapy: Supporting your child means more than managing symptoms. Our therapists help children, adolescents, and families build lasting skills, confidence, and emotional resilience.
Evaluation and Therapy in Bellevue, WA
Our goal is never just to provide answers — it's to help every patient and family move forward on a clearer path.
How We Help Adults With Neuropsychology
Assessment: It is never too late for answers. Our comprehensive evaluations give adults a clear, detailed picture of their strengths, vulnerabilities, and needs.
Therapy: Growth and change are possible at any stage of life. Our therapists work with adults to build self-understanding, develop practical strategies, and create meaningful and lasting change.
We Take “Balanced” Seriously
At Balanced Minds, we strive to balance the “neuro” part of being a neuropsychologist with the “psychologist” part of being a neuropsychologist. We do that while being real people, who can crack a joke with you as well as hold all of your biggest fears and traumas.
And we really mean it when we say that we individualize all of our work to the person in front of us - we do not use a cookie-cutter approach and every evaluation, report, and therapy session is fully focused on the client’s needs, not pushing them through a standardized process.
