Expert-led evaluations,
built around the child.
You know your child — or yourself — best. We're here to help you make sense of what you're seeing. You don't have to wait a year for answers: most families begin within weeks, with a clear plan at the end.
Now welcoming new clients
You're not imagining it, and you're not alone.
If something feels off and no one has given you a real answer, you're exactly who we're here for.
Your child is clearly bright, but school keeps getting harder.
Your toddler communicates and plays in their own way, and you'd like to understand it sooner rather than later.
You've been told to “wait and see,” but your gut says otherwise.
Your child holds it together at school, then falls apart at home.
You've quietly wondered for years whether you're autistic or have ADHD.
You just want to understand — for your child, or for yourself.
Families find us when they're ready for answers.
Shelby Wolf, PhD, LP, BCBA-D, NCSP, HSP
If you've felt dismissed, or left to make sense of it on your own, you're in the right place. We answer the phone, we listen first, and we'll take it from there.
More than anything, Dr. Wolf is the kind of clinician who slows down and truly listens. Her training happens to span three fields — she's a licensed psychologist, a Board Certified Behavior Analyst–Doctoral, and a nationally certified school psychologist — which simply means your child is understood through clinical, behavioral, and school-based lenses at once, so the answers fit real life at home and in the classroom. She's a mom, too, with more than a decade of this work behind her, and it shows in the care she brings to every family.
Two ways into clarity
We evaluate ages 18 months through adulthood. Whether you're seeking answers for your child or for yourself, you'll work directly with the doctor, and leave with a roadmap, not just a result.
Children & teens
Worried about your child's development, focus, or learning? We give parents answers early, and a plan you can act on at school, at home, and in care.
