In addition to therapy, Dr. Henry-Mcallister provides comprehensive psychological assessments, gives educational presentations, and offers consultation to physicians or other community providers. Psychological assessment includes cognitive, emotional, academic and/or neuropsychological batteries to better understand how individuals think, learn, and behave.
The resulting comprehensive report provides individualized recommendations to children, adults, families, or referring providers. Dr. Henry-McAllister works with the systems that are most important to the client (physicians, schools, community leaders, etc.) to give feedback and build a supportive network that bolsters success.
