MindWell Psychology

At MindWell, we turn confusion into clarity and challenges into opportunities — for kids, parents, and educators alike. https://mindwell.us/contact-us/

At MindWell Psychology, we understand that challenges at school, work, or home rarely stem from just one issue. That’s why our experienced, doctoral-level psychologists and licensed therapists take the time to look at the whole picture. We offer comprehensive psychological testing that evaluates cognitive, educational, emotional, behavioral, and developmental factors so we can truly understand what’s going on and how to help. Our in-depth assessments and clear, detailed reports are trusted by public and private schools throughout Northern Virginia, DC, and Maryland — often referred to as the “gold standard.”

Our goal: Get you to the root of the problem and the heart of the solution. Based in Chantilly, VA, MindWell Psychology is a full-service practice offering:
• Psycho-educational and neuropsychological testing
• Social, behavioral, and developmental assessments
• Individual and family therapy for children, teens, and adults

Every child grows at their own pace. Still, recognizing when extra support may help can make a lasting difference. 💙

Early evaluation doesn’t label - rather, it empowers families with tools, understanding, and guidance to help children thrive in their own way.

📞 Call us today to learn more about evaluations and how MindWell can support your family.

📚 In honor of Hispanic Heritage Month, we’re reflecting on how culture shapes the way we understand learning and behavior. At MindWell, we believe assessments should tell the whole story of a child - not just the numbers.

That’s why we look closely at language development, family values, and lived experiences when interpreting data. By weaving culture into our process, we ensure that our assessments are fair, accurate, and respectful of every child’s unique background.

💙 Every child deserves to be seen for their strengths as well as their needs - and honoring culture is an important part of that.

At MindWell Psychology, we pause today to honor and remember the lives lost on September 11, 2001, and to acknowledge the lasting impact this day has had on so many.

We hold space for the families, first responders, and communities who continue to carry its weight. As we reflect, may we also be reminded of the resilience, unity, and compassion that emerged in the midst of tragedy.

Today and always, we stand in remembrance. May we honor the past by caring for one another in the present. ❤️💙

💚 National Su***de Prevention Week is a powerful reminder that understanding the whole child can change lives.

At MindWell, we know that conditions like ADHD, Autism, or learning differences often appear alongside mood concerns such as anxiety or depression. These challenges can sometimes be masked by one another - or even go unnoticed - making it hard for families to know where to turn.

Through testing, therapy, and close partnership with parents and schools, we provide clarity, tools, and hope for the road ahead. Because when kids feel seen and supported, they’re more resilient - and families aren’t walking this journey alone. 💙

Parents, if you’re concerned at all, call us today for clarity and support.

At MindWell Psychology, we help families understand their child’s unique learning needs early so every child can get the right support to thrive. Here’s how:

🧩 Comprehensive evaluations - MindWell’s assessments look beyond grades and behavior to identify underlying learning differences such as ADHD, autism, dyslexia, and more.

🎯 Evidence-based tools - we use gold-standard testing methods to pinpoint specific strengths and challenges that give a clear picture of your child’s learning profile.

👩‍⚕️ Expert clinicians - our psychologists are trained to spot subtle signs that might otherwise be missed in a busy classroom setting.

🏫 School-focused insights - reports are written with teachers and IEP/504 teams in mind to ensure recommendations translate into real classroom support.

⏱️ Early detection = quicker support - by testing before struggles escalate, families can secure accommodations and interventions sooner.

💬 Clear, actionable feedback - parents leave our practice with an understandable roadmap so they can act right away.

MindWell was thrilled to join Legacy Farms for their Bouquet Bar event last week for an evening full of fresh flowers and community connection.

Thank you, Legacy Farms! 💐
