What clients are saying

“We had a great experience here. General communication around scheduling and follow ups was prompt. Dr Kraska was very thorough and easy to speak with and he provided clear feedback. We would recommend this office to others.

“We were pleased with the assessment process at Genesis. Amy was very responsive and scheduling meetings were easy. Dr. Kraska’s psych assessment process and results were very useful and have given us a good plan for the future. Thank you!”

“Our experience with Genesis has been wonderful. Everyone is warm, welcoming, & professional. Extremely accommodating with our schedules. Cannot recommend them high enough.”

Initial Session

A 60-minute first session, where presenting problems are reviewed (for client’s who are minors, this session is with their parents), the client’s history is discussed, and a plan for assessment is formulated by the psychologist. Following the initial session, the psychologist puts together the assessment battery (the tests to be used in the assessment) and a contract of services is emailed to the client for their review and approval.

Assessment Process

Testing/Data Collection

One to three sessions of interactive tasks completed at Genesis with the psychometrician and psychologist. This includes face to face tasks as well as electronic questionnaires, which are designed to gather multiple pieces of data regarding the client’s current functioning in multiple domains. Questionnaires are sent out (mostly electronically) to parents and teachers and/or significant others (for adults) in order to gather collateral information regarding the client’s functioning.

Feedback/Review Findings

Typically 90-minute session where the psychologist communicates all of the findings from testing, using visuals in order to highlight the client’s strengths and weaknesses, as well as any applicable diagnoses. A comprehensive treatment plan is discussed, which provides specific treatments, recommendations and resources/referrals in order to address the client’s identified weaknesses. Subsequently, a comprehensive report is sent out via email containing detailed findings from the assessment.
