Psychological Testing and Evaluation Therapists in Quincy, MA

I have over 30 years experience treating adults, children and adolescents individually and with their families. I help my patients find strategies to cope with and overcome social, emotional and behavioral difficulties associated with Anxiety, Trauma, Depression, Asperger Syndrome. I conduct independent psycho-educational evaluations to determine a child's learning style, strengths/weaknesses and eligibility for special education services. I consult with districts/families and advocate on behalf of students with learning disabilities and emotional issues in the Massachusetts area.

Is your child, adolescent, or young adult struggling to learn, make friends, or stay focused? Has s/he lost interest in activities or become irritable and sad? Are you worried about how s/he is sleeping, engaging with family, or eating? Are you concerned s/he might have a disability, special learning style, mental health or social emotional challenge? Are you wondering if s/he needs an IEP, 504, ICAP, or therapy? If so, I can help determine what your child needs? I provide comprehensive evaluations that answer these questions and more. There is a solution and I can assist you in the journey to learning how to empower your family!

Hello, I'm Dr. Katerina Aniskovich, a dual-licensed school psychologist and mental health counselor. With a wealth of experience across various settings, such as clinical, outpatient, and school, I specialize in working with children, adolescents, and young adults with neurodiverse backgrounds.

I am a warm, empathic therapist who will help you see results and progress in your day to day life. I have never met a client I do not have hope for and have not seen make positive changes in their life. I specialize in seeing college/graduate students, young adults, young couples and young parents working through modern day challenges. I also help family's in the midst of crises (divorce, a child with a diagnosis of mental illness or struggling at college, substance abuse, legal issues, etc.)

With adults I provide a supportive environment to work on practical strategies to improve your life. Our main focus is on your present and future, but if past feelings, behaviors and situations are still getting in your way we explore what happened and work on creating healthier patterns. In working with children and teens I teach skills and strategies, and periodically bring parents into sessions. I have expertise to share, but you are the expert on your child! We'll all work together to build on your child's strengths, increase their confidence and solve problems at home or school.

As a licensed psychologist, I provide comprehensive neuropsychological evaluations for school-age children and therapy for adults. When working with children and families on evaluations, I partner closely in order to understand your child's functioning in school and your concerns, be they academic, social, emotional, or a combination. I work hard to address your questions and to provide the best possible recommendations for your child's growth and learning. My background in executive function skill training and working in independent schools informs my work.
