At the Center, Dr. Alcaine provides psychotherapy and neuropsychological testing. Therapy is provided for individual adults as well as children/adolescents and their families. When working with adults in therapy, Dr. Alcaine adopts an eclectic approach that incorporates techniques to deal with current challenges as well as increase understanding of how problematic patterns have developed. With children and teenagers, she is a therapist who emphasizes work with families as well, out of her belief that children and teens can blossom best with the help of strong and loving families.
Neuropsychological testing is a specialized evaluation to determine if an individual has a learning disability, attention disorder, or other subtle cognitive issue that may impact personal behavior and well-being or academic performance. Through testing, Dr. Alcaine can provide a thorough profile of cognitive strengths and difficulties, as well as recommendations about how to best help. Dr. Alcaine also specializes in determining whether academic difficulties are related to cognitive versus emotional difficulties, or some combination of the two.
