GENESIS TEAM
Genesis was founded in 2020 by Dr. Chad Kraska in order to fill a niche for high quality neuropsychological assessments in Charlotte, NC for individuals with neurodevelopmental deficits who are in need of treatment. These strength-based assessments provide clarity for the entire treatment team and chart a clear path forward.
I am currently pursuing certification in Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TFCBT). I use several different treatment modalities to create a safe and trusting environment for my clients to explore their potential for growth and positive self-expression.
Finding the right therapist for your child can be challenging. I have worked with children in many different capacities throughout the years including schools, community mental health, hospital, foster care, adoptions, and private practice. I would love the opportunity to work with your child and your family to provide treatment that will make a difference.
Lexi is originally from Wisconsin, but moved to Charlotte with her husband Zach in 2021. Together, they enjoy hiking, kayaking, watching movies, cooking, and baking. Lexi also loves to travel, and lived in Paris briefly after graduating from college! Lexi loves cats, and recently adopted a kitten named Lucille. Lexi and Zach are members of a local church, where they are involved in several ministries and Bible studies.
Virginia Beach, VA. While at Regent University, she conducted assessments, individual therapy,
and lead group therapy in various settings. Her undergraduate degree in Psychology was
obtained from Appalachian State University in Boone, NC. She also completed an
undergraduate thesis as a part of an honors program from App State.
Callie is a proud, native Charlottean but has enjoyed living in Virginia Beach, VA and Louisville,
KY in the past. She is engaged to Graham and they love to travel to the sunny beaches of North
Carolina. She is an avid lover of photography and all things antique, especially milk glass and
depression glass.

GENESIS SERVICES
Genesis offers a variety of services designed to increase insight and to improve functioning in all contexts of life
What clients are saying
“Dr. Chad Kraska has been instrumental in our family dynamic through counseling as well as educational and psychological assessments since 2014. Not only have two of our children (teen and preteen) benefited, but we have gained great insight for understanding our children’s strengths and struggles in navigating the increasingly complex day to day responsibilities of growing up and discerning life’s challenges. We wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Kraska and his team and will be forever grateful for all they have done for us.”
“Dr. Kraska is such a phenomenal psychologist! I’ve been seeing him for over two years now and he’s been a true lifeline to making progress in my life. He not only is the one who diagnosed me as being on the Autism Spectrum, but he helped me through figuring out how to be my most authentic self when around other people. If it weren’t for his consistent guidance and ease of conversation, I would still be spending all my time struggling to understand myself. My life is permanently improved due to the expertise and talent Kraska has in talking to people on the Spectrum.”
“Chad Kraska is a phenomenal resource with incredible expertise in so many areas and most specifically girls on the Autism Spectrum. So many girls go undiagnosed and Dr. Kraska is very well-versed and perceptive of the differences that present with these girls. He was the first to suggest ASD for our high-functioning daughter. His insight into my precious girl was the flagpole moment that saved our daughter and our family. I recommend Dr. Kraska to all of my clients for educational testing as well as suspected ASD in our high-functioning girls.”
“Dr. Kraska is everything you would want in a Child Psychologist. We have been more than pleased with him. I recommend him to all my friends and family. He is great at what he does and an asset in our lives.”
“Dr. Kraska is an excellent communicator and attentive to detail. He provides thorough diagnostic evaluations and individualized recommendations to help set his clients up for success.”
“I know Chad to be a person of integrity. He is well trained, experienced and does excellent work. I look forward to referring him clients whenever the need arises.”
“Chad has been a friend and colleague for several years and as such, I had the privilege to watch him work. He was a great resource for me for many things but especially questions related to testing, children and adolescents. While he is very intelligent, he is also very easy to relate to. Simply put, he is an all around excellent therapist.”
Thank you to Amy, Sarah and Stephanie for making my experience here very comfortable in a chaotic time of my life. If you are on the fence about working with this team or their services, I believe it is worth every penny for the clarity and insight they will provide.
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.
