Counseling & Assessments at the SMart Center

Counseling & Assessments at the SMart Center performs comprehensive assessments and evaluations for a wide range of psychological and behavioral issues for children, teens and adults. Our center believes in taking a ‘whole person approach’ where we do not treat a symptom, but work to understand reasoning for symptoms and then accommodate/treat the individual based on their unique needs.

Our clinicians conduct a full battery of testing, not just a screening tool, and provides a comprehensive report with recommendations and referral options for next steps.

Typically, the assessment process begins with a 45 min intake session with a child’s caregiver or the adult in need of testing. After the clinical interview, the number of sessions will range based on the individual’s unique testing needs.

Counseling & Assessments at the SMart Center looks at the whole person, not just their diagnosis. Our team of multi-disciplinary professionals utilizes a ‘whole-person approach’ to treatment. We deliver evidence-based approaches – such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, psychodynamic therapy, and a family systems approach – to our clients.

Now more than ever, mental health professionals must play a crucial role in helping those battling their own unique mental health challenges better understand their own invisible battles. Supporting and educating these individuals on how to develop and hone the requisite long-term coping skills will, ultimately, help lead them toward happier and more fulfilling lives.

We offer our counseling and assessment services both in-person and through Telehealth in dozens of states for children, teens and adults experiencing a wide range of presenting concerns.

We provide evidenced-based therapy for individuals as well as host parent support groups intended to assist their knowledge and understanding of their child’s diagnosis/treatment. We also host family therapy sessions and provide speech and language therapy.
