Direct observation in the clinic during testing. Video recordings are reviewed for remote assessments. State-of-the-art assessment tools to increase the accuracy of the diagnosis. This includes remote assessment tools for clients unable to attend in-person appointments. 3-6 hours of independent testing to assess concerns, evaluating intelligence, memory, behavior, development, and/or achievement. Questionnaires for parents, teachers and children to assess emotional, behavioral and adaptive functioning. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/619be0d9ab2c384495cae088/479cc56f-07d0-45f9-b64b-3de55a8f6558/family-home.jpg Psychological and Psychoeducational Evaluations - Our Process: Parents of children or adults being evaluated are emailed an intake form ahead of time to complete. During the first appointment, the parent and the child meet with the evaluator to complete a thorough online interview, lasting approximately one hour. During the second and third appointments, the evaluation process continues in the office. The child or adult is evaluated with a cognitive/processing measure to determining intellectual functioning. We will also assess attention and memory skills, depending on the concern. This frequently requires around 1.5-2 hours. For some children, we conduct direct observation with the ADOS-2, or a thorough parent interview with the ADI-R. If a psychoeducational evaluation is being sought out, a separate appointment(s) is needed for academic testing. This can take anywhere from 1.5-2 hours. The parents will fill out clinical rating questionnaires needed to determine their child’s overall functioning from home or in our clinic. Teachers will also be sent rating forms to complete (with your permission). Approximately 3 weeks later, the parent will receive the psychological report by email and asked to read it. Any questions or concerns will be addressed during the feedback session to review the results and the recommendations. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/619be0d9ab2c384495cae088/58b4f7fd-9760-462d-ae4a-ba56e5e33fa5/closeup-applicant-completing-application-form.jpg Psychological and Psychoeducational Evaluations - Our Results: 10-15 hours of data analysis and reporting to provide comprehensive and informative results. 1- hour of testing feedback to explain results and recommendations. Recommendations made for Section 504 accommodations or suggestions for an individualized education plan (IEP) for more effective teaching based on weaknesses discovered. Detailed recommendations for parents to enhance the child's learning and overcome present and future difficulties. When applicable, specific recommendations are made to the college board to ensure the student is equipped to learn in the best way possible (may take up to 7 weeks to be approved after submission). https://healthymindspsy.com/our-team daily 0.75 2025-10-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/619be0d9ab2c384495cae088/1028c086-be2d-4630-b5ee-9db312b6171d/Headshot+1.jpg Our Team - Yuvalie Ramallo, Psy.D.

My training included conducting comprehensive psychological evaluations as well as providing individual, group, and family therapy. During this time, I also became a certified Managing and Adapting Practice (MAP) therapist. Early in my doctoral program, I discovered a strong passion for conducting psychological assessments, particularly in the area of neurodevelopmental disorders. My professional interests continue to involve psychological assessment. I am especially committed to working with culturally diverse populations and advocating for access to appropriate educational and therapeutic services. Outside of my clinical work, I enjoy spending time with my husband, family, and friends, exploring new restaurants, and listening to music. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/619be0d9ab2c384495cae088/f4687aa3-528a-463a-9601-700aecd7cfe7/IMG_0821.jpg Our Team - Dr. Vickie Casteleiro, Ph.D. I am a licensed psychologist who offers a background of varied experiences.

I am a dedicated bilingual clinical psychologist licensed in the state of Florida and Puerto Rico. I graduated in 2007 with a doctorate in psychology from Carlos Albizu University. I have over 20 years of experience in treating children, adolescents and adults. I have dedicated my professional life to assisting individuals and families to achieve emotional well-being by using inner strengths and emotional resources. I like to use a collaborative approach, along with strategies from Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Humanistic Approach, Positive Discipline and Play Therapy. My current focus is on the assessment of childhood disorders, mainly ADHD and autism. I conduct the Autism Diagnostic Observation Scale (ADOS). I also enjoy supervising students from the CAU graduate program. Being born and studying in Cuba prompted me to develop a repertoire of behaviors to adapt to a challenging and changing environment. Everything I learned, I now use to assist others in understanding and managing their reality. I enjoy good music, reading, and deep conversation.
