The best psychologists aren’t just taught - they’re mentored.

Today, one of our doctoral externs, Erin, got hands-on experience practicing assessment skills with the help of a very enthusiastic volunteer while practicing administering neuropsychological assessments.

These moments may look simple, but they’re where confidence grows, clinical judgment develops, and the next generation of compassionate and expert clinical care begins.

At Elements, we’re committed to training future psychologists through intensive supervision, mentorship, and hands-on clinical experience. Our doctoral externs work closely with our licensed psychologists, receiving ongoing supervision while providing high-quality, evidence-based care.

As part of our training program, we also offer reduced-fee neuropsychological evaluations for children and adults for:
ADHD
Autism
Dyslexia/learning differences
Gifted/Twice-exceptional
Neurological conditions
…and more

Our externs also provide psychotherapy services for children through adults. Every case is thoughtfully supervised by one of our licensed psychologists, allowing families to access exceptional care while helping train the next generation of clinicians.

It’s one of our favorite parts of what we do: investing in the future of our profession while increasing access to high-quality mental health services for our community.

Call or text us at 201-383-5056 or visit our website to learn more about Erin and Shana’s services!

Should you take ADHD medication before an evaluati

Should you take ADHD medication before an evaluation?

It’s one of the most common questions we hear, and the answer is more nuanced than many people realize.

This review reminds us that there isn’t a one-size-fits-all approach. Whether someone should be tested on or off medication depends on the purpose of the evaluation, the clinical questions being asked, and the individual’s unique circumstances.

As neuropsychologists, our goal isn’t simply to diagnose ADHD - it’s to understand how someone functions in the real world and provide recommendations that are both accurate and meaningful.

Diagnostics is what we do. Making sure we get it right is our job. Understanding the research and the nuance in how to get there is of the utmost importance.

Maybe the “good old days” aren’t behind us.

They’re in the moments when neighbors know each other. When differences spark curiosity instead of division. When children feel safe to be themselves. When asking for help is seen as strength. When everyone has a seat at the table.

At Elements, we believe mental health is rooted in connection. In creating spaces where people feel seen, heard, respected, and valued—regardless of their story, diagnosis, background, or where they are in life.

Here’s to choosing kindness over judgment, understanding over assumptions, and love over fear. Because maybe the good old days aren’t something we remember—they’re something we build together.

Everyone deserves to belong. Everyone deserves to be heard. Everyone deserves support.
