Dr Jessica Presutto is a skilled and compassionate clinician specializing in psycho-educational and psycho-diagnostic assessments for children, youth, and adults.

Dr. Presutto believes that a psychological assessment is a vital first step in understanding and addressing cognitive, academic, and/or social-emotional concerns. Whether you/your child are facing challenges at school, work, or home, a comprehensive assessment can help uncover the root cause of the difficulties and provide valuable insights into your/your child’s unique strengths and areas for growth. Dr. Presutto works to create a personalized action plan that focuses on leveraging strengths while offering targeted support for areas of difficulty, empowering individuals to reach their fullest potential.

Wondering what to expect? Dr. Presutto tailors each assessment to meet your child’s specific needs and concerns. The process begins with a detailed clinical interview, during which Dr. Presutto takes the time to understand your or your child’s history, symptoms, and challenges. From there, she designs a testing plan using validated, evidence-based tools. After testing is complete, Dr. Presutto reviews the results and creates a set of personalized recommendations to address your/your child’s unique needs. A final meeting is then scheduled to thoroughly discuss the assessment results and provide a clear, actionable plan for moving forward.
