Welcome
Early Mind Institute is a boutique pediatric psychology practice providing comprehensive neuropsychological evaluations, individualized consultations, and second-opinion evaluations for children, adolescents, and young adults from 18 months through 25 years of age.
Our evaluations help families better understand learning, development, attention, behavior, emotional functioning, and diagnostic questions, while providing practical recommendations to support success at home, in school, and throughout everyday life.
We are also proud to offer a specialized early childhood evaluation program for children 18 months to 5 years, designed to provide timely, developmentally informed assessment during one of the most important periods of a child's development.
Individualized Services
Every child and family has a unique developmental journey. At Early Mind Institute, we provide boutique, individualized neurodevelopmental care tailored to each family's goals, concerns, and stage of development. Whether you are seeking a comprehensive evaluation, diagnostic clarification, parent consultation, school guidance, or ongoing support, our services can be combined and personalized to meet your family's evolving needs. Our goal is to provide thoughtful, evidence-informed care that helps families better understand their child and move forward with clarity and confidence.
Individualized Consultation
Families seek guidance at different points in their child's developmental journey. Our consultation services provide individualized recommendations tailored to your questions, whether you are exploring concerns for the first time, navigating school or treatment decisions, or seeking expert guidance to support your child's ongoing development.
Comprehensive Neuropsychological Evaluation
Every child has a unique developmental profile. Our comprehensive evaluations are thoughtfully tailored to each child's strengths, challenges, and referral questions. Beyond diagnostic clarification, we aim to provide families with a meaningful understanding of their child and a practical roadmap to support growth across home, school, and community settings.
Second Opinion Services
Sometimes families benefit from a fresh perspective. Our second opinion services offer an independent, comprehensive review of existing evaluations, diagnoses, educational plans, or treatment recommendations. We work collaboratively with families to clarify complex questions, identify areas that may warrant further consideration, and provide thoughtful, evidence-based guidance to support informed decision-making.
Early Childhood Evaluations (18 Months–5 Years)
The first few years of life are a unique window of brain development, when timely identification and intervention can make a meaningful difference. If you have concerns about your young child's development, you shouldn't have to spend months waiting for answers.
At Early Mind Institute, we believe that time matters during early childhood. We intentionally prioritize timely neurodevelopmental evaluations for children between 18 months and 5 years of age, helping families gain clarity, access appropriate supports, and move forward with confidence during one of the most important stages of development.
Note: All packages include a 15-minute free consultation via phone.
Not Sure Where to Start?
Every child and family has a unique story, and it is not always clear which service is the best fit. If you are unsure whether your concerns would be best addressed through a consultation, a comprehensive neurodevelopmental evaluation, or a second opinion, we recommend beginning with an Individualized Consultation.
During this consultation, we will take time to understand your child's developmental history, your current concerns, and the questions that matter most to your family. Together, we will identify the service that best fits your child's needs and discuss thoughtful, individualized recommendations for next steps.
If a Comprehensive Neuropsychological/Neurodevelopmental Evaluation or Second Opinion Evaluation is recommended and scheduled within 90 days, the full consultation fee will be credited toward the cost of that service. Our goal is to help families begin with the level of care that is most appropriate, without feeling pressured to commit to a more extensive evaluation before it is clinically indicated.
