“As a mother of a child with ADHD and Autism, I have a unique approach to my work that combines professional knowledge and personal experience. I know first hand how a family member with emotional or learning differences can affect their parents, siblings, and significant others. Through psychological assessment I am able to get an accurate profile of an individual’s unique strengths and weaknesses and help my clients and their families identify and locate the services and resources they need. I strive to bring that same level of support to my therapy clients through an empathic, positive, and fun approach. I love being a psychologist and I believe in the work that I do!”
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.
