ABOUT POINT NORTH PSYCHOLOGICAL SERVICES
Psychotherapy. Neuropsychological/Psychological Testing.
A deeper understanding of you.
Point North Psychological Services is a private psychology practice offering individual psychotherapy as well as comprehensive psychological and neuropsychological assessment.
Our approach is grounded in the belief that meaningful care begins with understanding the whole person. Whether you are seeking therapy to navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, relationships, or life transitions—or looking for answers about attention, learning, development, or cognitive functioning—we take the time to understand your unique concerns and develop a plan that is tailored to you.
Neuropsychological & Psychological Assessment
When your child is struggling, understand why.
When a child is having difficulty academically, behaviorally, or emotionally, it can be challenging to know what is really getting in the way. Is it attention? A learning difference? Executive functioning? Anxiety? Emotional distress? Or a combination of factors?
A comprehensive evaluation can help bring those pieces together.
At Point North, psychological and neuropsychological testing goes beyond simply identifying a diagnosis. We look at a child's strengths, challenges, and individual pattern of functioning to better understand why they may be struggling and what support will help them succeed.
Our evaluations may examine cognitive and intellectual abilities, academic achievement, attention and executive functioning, emotional and behavioral functioning, and social or adaptive skills. Evaluations can help clarify concerns related to ADHD, learning difficulties, autism spectrum disorder, and other psychological or neurodevelopmental concerns.
Most importantly, we believe an evaluation should be useful. The goal is to provide families with clarity, meaningful answers, and practical recommendations that can be used at home, at school, and when working with other professionals.
Because your child is more than a test score—and understanding the whole child matters.
Psychotherapy
A space to understand, grow, and move forward.
Life can be difficult to navigate, and sometimes the ways we have learned to cope no longer feel effective. Anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, stress, trauma, or major life changes can leave us feeling stuck, disconnected, or uncertain about what comes next.
Psychotherapy provides an opportunity to slow down and make sense of those experiences in a supportive and collaborative environment.
At Point North, therapy is individualized to each person's needs and circumstances. Our clinicians work with children, adolescents, and adults, with particular experience supporting adolescents and young adults as they navigate the emotional, relational, and developmental challenges that come with growing and changing.
Point North's approach is grounded in psychodynamic and relational therapy, with attention to the experiences and relationships that have shaped how a person understands themselves and interacts with others. When appropriate, practical strategies drawn from approaches such as CBT, DBT, and ACT are incorporated into treatment.
The goal is not simply to alleviate symptoms. It is to develop a deeper understanding of yourself, recognize patterns that may be keeping you stuck, strengthen your relationships, and create meaningful change.
Because therapy should be about more than feeling better—it should help you understand yourself better, too.
