Initial Assessment

A psychological assessment is meant to understand your problem, relevant history, and goal. It combines a self-report symptom assessment, a holistic clinical interview (physical, psychological, environmental, social, occupational, and spiritual domains), diagnostic impressions, and initial recommendations.

Testing

  • ADHD
  • Cognitive Impairment/Dementia
  • Personality Functioning

Psychological and NeuroCognitive evaluation consists of a series of tests that help determine the cause of symptoms and disorders to determine a correct diagnosis. Doctorate-level clinical psychologists are trained to administer, score, and interpret psychological tests, which are chosen for their clinical utility and good psychometric properties. After testing, a report is produced and appropriate treatment often follows.

PsychoTherapy

Psychodynamic Christian integrated therapy is based on psychoanalytic theory and rooted in biblical principles. Once a treatment course is agreed on, visits are typically scheduled twice weekly. This depth therapy is active and cooperative in nature, and aims to increase self-understanding and deepen insight into the personal conflicts and conditions that underlie your complaints. This therapy can lead to increased courage, objectivity, and better relationships. Relevant recommendations and referrals may be provided in treatment.

Consultation

Consultation is focused on brief problem solving and is more so advisory in nature. It is suited for highly motivated individuals who value results. 1) Consultative discussions provide you direction about how to approach a problem. 2)  Consultation is also sought by people wanting a second opinion regarding their psychological health, such as records review or retesting. Relevant recommendations and referrals may be provided in consultation.

Letters & Collateral Calls

A letter may be provided following an assessment, evaluation, or treatment:

  • Attestation of psychological services
  • Authorization for work absence
  • Prescription for emotional support animal

A collateral call refers to communication between your psychologist and a third party (e.g., family member, healthcare practitioner, etc.) to exchange relevant knowledge about your situation.

Tele Psychology

Tele Psychology refers to face-to-face visits online, which establish a formal doctor-patient relationship. Dr. Maciel has tailored traditional in-person techniques for Tele Psychology. You can maintain confidentiality and comfort from the privacy of your home. HIPAA compliant video conferencing allows convenient accessibility with your doctor.
