Psychological Assessments
Psychological & Neuropsychological Testing at California Counseling Clinics
California Counseling Clinics (CCC) provides comprehensive, culturally-informed psychological and neuropsychological assessments for children, adolescents, and adults. Our team of licensed psychologists and advanced doctoral trainees is committed to delivering thoughtful, evidence-based evaluations that respect the unique cultural, social, and psychological context of each individual.
We tailor each assessment to the patient’s specific presenting concerns and collaborate as a clinic to ensure results are accurate, thorough, and meaningful.
Common Assessment Areas
We conduct assessments to evaluate a wide range of neurodevelopmental, emotional, cognitive, and academic concerns, including:
- Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)
- Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)
- Learning Disabilities
- Cognitive Functioning & IQ
- Memory
- Academic Achievement
- Personality & Emotional Functioning
- Social-Emotional Development

Reasons People Seek Psychological Assessment
Psychological testing can help answer important questions about yourself or your child. For example:
- Why is my child struggling at school?
- Do I have ADHD or another neurodevelopmental condition?
- What are my cognitive strengths and weaknesses?
- Am I on the autism spectrum?
- How can I best support my mental health?
- What mental health diagnosis fits my symptoms?
- How has past trauma impacted my current functioning?
- Am I a candidate for bariatric surgery, and what are my mental health needs before surgery?
At the conclusion of testing, you will receive a comprehensive written report with individualized treatment recommendations.
