Psychological Services

The Lab School of Washington Psychological Services Department provides evaluation and psychotherapy services for children, adolescents, and adults in the community at large. We specialize in learning disabilities and such related problems as ADHD, depression and anxiety.

Our staff of licensed psychologists and clinical social workers offers comprehensive diagnostic evaluation services as well as treatment, including individual, family and group psychotherapy.

Our consultative services are available to local public and private schools. We also offer professional consultation to members of the mental health and other related helping professions.
