We believe everybody’s story holds the tools to achieve their own definition of success.
Dr. Justine O’Donnell
My Approach to Evaluations
Society is going through so many changes and adjustments. We are all impacted, on some level. I believe our success and healthy adaptation rely on how well we are able to buffer ourselves from the external challenges we face. Everyone has gifts and challenges, which is part of being human. My belief is that the more one understands their strengths and weaknesses, the better we can navigate them with awareness.
My goal is to have a wholistic understanding of how someone is functioning in their life. I aim to do that by synthesizing testing information into a nuanced conceptualization to understand various aspects of someone’s life, which can include life, school, vocation, and relationships. At it’s best, testing can provide a map of where you are to help you determine what steps would be most helpful towards determining and achieving your goals.
I have over 25 years experience working with teens and adults. I have worked as a wilderness guide, therapist in wilderness program, college counselor, collaborator with other professionals, and as a psychological testing administrator. I received extensive training in graduate school in evidence based practices.
