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

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

⚡ Impulsivity or difficulty with self-control
Interrupting others, acting without thinking, or making impulsive decisions.

💭 Emotional regulation challenges

New year goals can feel hopeful and overwhelming all at once. If you’re navigating mental health challenges, learning concerns, or academic stress, goal setting doesn’t have to mean doing everything at once.

If you or your child could benefit from therapy or testing, our team at MindWell Psychology is here to help you start the new year right!
