Our psychological services support and promote the well-being and personal development of individuals, families, groups, and communities.

In our work, we identify mental health difficulties and clarify and contain the presenting problem. We explore options, develop strategies and increase self-awareness to resolve issues.

Our psychometric assessments focus on intelligence, ability, aptitude, learning potential, personality, and interests.
