What makes ACHIEVE Unique?
ACHIEVE is unique in that our practitioners are experts in both psychology AND education. While many area psychologists and therapists specialize in identifying and/or treating specific psychological conditions, we also fully comprehend and are able to address psychological difficulties from an educational lens. All of our practitioners have experience working in local public schools districts, so we also have a unique "insider" point-of-view.
​
Another way that ACHIEVE is unique is that we aim to be a "one-stop-shop." We begin with an intake meeting to determine the client's concerns, then if determined appropriate, complete a full psychological and educational evaluation. While most area psychologists provide evaluations and send you on your way with a report, we aim to not only identify the problem, but also to provide the interventions necessary to address the problem in-house after the evaluation has been completed. No more running around to 10 different specialists to address your student's needs!

What conditions do ACHIEVE practitioners have experience working with?
You name the condition, and we have probably worked with students who have it! Our practitioners have worked with thousands of students in the area and throughout the U.S. The most common conditions we see and work with are ADHD, Anxiety, Autism, Depression, and Learning Disabilities, but we have experience with many other conditions as well. Some other conditions we can identify and treat include, but are not limited to: Behavioral Issues, Oppositional Defiant Disorder, Conduct Disorder, Developmental Disorders, Intellectual Disabilities, Mood Disorders, Bipolar Disorder, Social Anxiety, Panic Disorder/Panic Attacks, and Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder.

Are there any conditions ACHIEVE does NOT treat?
At this time, we do not provide crisis intervention services, do not provide treatment for acute trauma, and do not identify or treat eating disorders. We are able to work with students who have a diagnosis or history of PTSD, but are not certified trauma counselors. Please check out the options on our Resources page if you are seeking treatment for these conditions.
