Psych Test, LLC

Psych Test, LLC Patrick Sullivan, PhD, founder of Psych Test, has been practicing clinical psychology for nearly 43 years.

He specializes in Psychological and Neuropsychological Assessments. Daniel Pierce is a psychological technician and assists with assessments. Dr. Sullivan received his Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of Arkansas in 1972. He completed a Master of Science in clinical psychology from Saint Mary’s University in San Antonio in 1975 and a Doctor of Philosophy in psychology from the United States International University in 1982. He has been in clinical practice, in both inpatient hospital settings and outpatient clinics, since 1975. Dr. Sullivan has been providing consultation and psychological testing for 42 years with children and adults. Psychological testing is a process of understanding how a person thinks, learns, and feels. It is also helpful in gaining a more complete understanding of how they interact with and interpret their world. Psychological testing begins with a diagnostic interview conducted with a psychologist. This interview consists of collecting a developmental history, which includes information about the individual’s health, social, academic, behavioral, emotional, and occupational background. This information is useful in understanding lifelong patterns which may be present, and which often shed important light on the reasons behind the issue for which the individual is seeking or needing care. This session will allow the psychologist to determine the nature and scope of the testing that is required to obtain accurate information for the individual’s needs. During testing sessions, a series of tests are given, which measure all types of psychological functioning. A testing session can take 2 to 3 hours (including breaks.) This amount of time is necessary to achieve an optimal assessment without exhausting the individual being assessed. Generally, several assessments are chosen, by the psychologist, to be administered. These tests involve the use of paper and pencil, answering questions, “hands on” activities, and sometimes involve the use of a computer. After testing is completed and scored, the psychologist prepares a final report of the findings. The final session provides the psychologist an opportunity to discuss the results, the diagnosis, and provide recommendations for the individual. The report and the recommendations by the psychologist will directly impact daily life, academic pursuits, and future endeavors of the individual that has been evaluated.

I am heartbroken to share that my friend and business partner Brian Patrick Sullivan, PhD passed away this evening. During his second hospitalization in three weeks, he developed a blood clot in his leg last week. Unfortunately, today around 4:30 pm, the clot dislodged and passed to his lung. He passed away at 7 pm this evening.
I had hoped to visit soon and watch some Lord of the Rings movies with him since he seemed to be stabilizing yesterday. But what he has gained now is much better - heaven!
See you again my friend,
Daniel W. Pierce

Ref: Retirement of Brian Patrick Sullivan, PhD

Dear supporters of Psych Test PLLC,
It is most difficult to have to inform you all of the recent decision by Dr. Sullivan to retire from psychological practice. The decision comes after a difficult year for both of us in regards to health. Dr. Sullivan has been advised by his family, me and his healthcare providers to take care of himself as his health has become a greater concern since the summer.
At this time we do not have a replacement for Dr. Sullivan to perform assessments. If, in the future, we are able to provide assessments again we will notify you. For now Psych Test PLLC is inactive and is not taking new clients.
To come to this decision was difficult and time consuming. We found great joy and satisfaction in providing assessments in a timely manner to folks that do not have that opportunity with other organizations. Dr. Sullivan took pride in his assessments for the Medicaid community especially since most private psychologists do not accept Medicaid. For us, these clients were, and are, in need of assistance and their needs were going unmet. Our hope and prayer is that someone will fill the gap left by his retirement.
Our apologies if we did not reach some of you in a timely manner.
Sincerely,
Daniel W. Pierce and Brian Patrick Sullivan, PhD
