TeleMedicine Provider | Open NowOnline therapy and assessment is currently available during evenings and weekends to accommodate families during the stay at home order.You’re worried about your child. They aren’t doing the things you expect them to be doing, or they are struggling in school. In the back of your mind, you think something might be wrong and you’re not sure what to do about it.Dr. Jessica Myszak is a licensed psychologist who has been practicing since 2010. She specializes in psychological evaluations with children, and has worked in private practice and various settings doing evaluations with children, adolescents, and adults. She performs autism testing as early as 12 months and does developmental testing with children, sometimes prior to 12 months. She evaluates children for behavior problems, learning disorders (dyslexia, dysgraphia, dyscalculia), autism, ADHD, developmental delays, and other developmental or mental health concerns.By gathering information from …parents and teachers about how a child is functioning in different settings, observing the child’s behavior, and testing their abilities in different areas, Dr. Myszak can pinpoint a child’s strengths and weaknesses, determine a diagnosis, and provide guidance and recommendations for the child, including whether early intervention therapy, support services through the school, tutoring, or other supports would be beneficial. Many skills, such as social skills and reading skills, build upon earlier learned abilities, so identifying difficulties and problems early on can help children get supports to focus on these key abilities which then open the door for further success.Dr. Myszak holds certifications as a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP) and in Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT), an evidence-based therapy for children with behavior problems. She is also trained as a mental health coach for collaborative divorces and has completed training towards a perinatal mental health certification.
