Assessments
with Empathy, Understanding, and Behavior Support
With years of experience working with children and adolescents in both treatment and assessment as a Child Psychologist, I’m skilled at meeting children where they are and using creative, out-of-the-box approaches.
As a Behavior Analyst (BCBA-D), I have the expertise to manage challenging behaviors, keeping even the most hesitant children engaged so they can show their full potential.
I offer thorough, high-quality assessments for toddlers through young adults, and I also provide parent workshops to help parents gain the skills and confidence to support their child’s development.
I help chart the course for your child’s life by connecting parents with resources to understand, support, and validate their children.
Parenting a child with challenges can be overwhelming, leaving parents feeling isolated and unsure of where to turn.
Many struggle with balancing their child's needs, family life, and their own well-being. Through comprehensive assessments and workshops, I help parents gain the knowledge and understanding they need to make informed decisions, support their child's development, and create a more balanced family life. With the right resources and guidance, parents can navigate these challenges with confidence and support.
Overcoming your obstacles
Diagnosis: The goal isn’t to label your child, but to open doors to the services and supports that will help them reach their full potential.
Education and Training: I’ll help you understand your child’s unique strengths and areas for growth, empowering you to advocate for their needs and find opportunities where they can thrive. This deeper insight will also strengthen the connection between you and your child.
Clear Next Steps: Together, we’ll prioritize your child’s needs and explore the available services. I’ll guide you in advocating for the right resources within their school or help you find a better learning environment if needed.

Kind words from past clients
“Dr. Kristi Clarke made an intimidating assessment process feel like a breeze”
I felt so comfortable as she explained every step and encouraged several breaks. Receiving a diagnosis at 23 felt overwhelming, but also a huge relief. Dr. Kristi navigated and validated all my emotions, anxieties and concerns. She discussed helpful next steps and started me on a journey to learn more about myself.”

“Knowledgeable, thorough, and patient.”
“Dr. Kristi performed assessments on all 3 of my children at different ages. She is very knowledgeable, thorough and patient. She went over the results with us to make sure we understood what our children needed and provided excellent suggestions for next steps. I can’t begin to thank her enough for her professionalism and guidance through this process!”
— Jenny R.
“Dr. Clarke is amazing.”
“My daughter’s extreme anxiety was seriously impacting our family. It strained her relationship with her sister and led to a lot of stress for my wife and I. Dr. Clarke really understood my daughter. In one of her Parent Workshops, she helped us identify my daughter’s triggers and trained us on how to respond differently to de-escalate a situation. She recommended other professionals and services so we could get my daughter the help she needed.”
— Tom P.
