Looking for an Autism or ADHD evaluation without the long wait?

Little Dove Psychology currently offers self-pay evaluations with appointments available within one week, along with a one-week report turnaround following completion of testing.

We’ve also recently lowered our self-pay rates to help make evaluations more accessible to our community.

✨ Insurance-based evaluations are also available, but scheduling timelines may be longer due to prior authorization requirements.

Happy October! 🍂A new month is a good reminder to check in.

Sometimes the little changes we notice in our kids can tell us more than we realize. Changes in their mood, sleep, behavior, or even how they’re doing at school can be signs that they may need a little extra support.

You don’t have to wait until things feel overwhelming to reach out. We’re here to help.

A child who puts off homework or needs repeated reminders may be trying harder than you realize.

For kids with ADHD, getting started can be the hardest part. Breaking a task into one small step and doing that first step together with a little patience can make it feel more manageable.

“How do I know if therapy is actually working?”

Parents ask us this all the time. It deserves a better answer than “trust the process.”

Here is ours: every four weeks, our clients complete brief validated questionnaires (the GAD-7 and PHQ-9 for ages 10 and up, a short goal-progress measure for younger kids). Two or three minutes, scored automatically, graphed over time, and reviewed with you.

If the numbers show progress, we keep going. If they don’t, we change something. We would rather know in week eight than in month eight.

Progress you can see, not progress you take on faith. Full blog linked in the comments!

Be Kind to Your Mind

A big thank you to Westlake High School for having Little Dove Psychology at their Health & Wellness Fair!

We loved connecting with students and watching our “What keeps you going?” board fill up with reminders of family, friends, faith, pets, music, goals, and so much more.

Students also got to “Plant a Little Hope” by choosing something they want to grow more of in their lives and taking home seeds as a reminder that small things can grow into something beautiful. 🪴

Thank you, Westlake High School , for creating space for mental health and connection.
