Christopher J. Quarto, Ph.D., PLLC Licensed psychologist (HSP)

Description:

Psychological testing services are provided ONLINE or IN PERSON to evaluate for conditions such as:

Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder
Autism Spectrum Disorder (older adolescents & adults only)
Learning disabilities (e.g., dyslexia/reading disorders; dyscalculia/math disorders; dysgraphia/writing disorders);
Anxiety (e.g., Generalized Anxiety Disorder)
Mood disorders (e.g., Major Depressive Disorder)
Relationship problems

I provide in-person evaluations to children who are at least 8-years-old. I provide in-person and online evaluations to adolescents & adults for all conditions above except for learning disabilities, which must be done in person.

Clients who reside in Tennessee or Michigan (where I hold licenses) and elect to complete ONLINE psychological evaluations first talk to me on a HIPAA-secure video platform (similar to Skype or FaceTime) where I obtain information about their current problems as well as their family, school and relationship histories. Throughout this process I strive to connect with clients on an emotional level so they know they’ve been heard and understood; it’s my job to earn their trust and forge a strong working alliance. Following the interview, clients complete a series of psychological tests on the website of a test publishing company that I work with – also HIPAA-secure. I monitor and interact with them in a separate window of their browser as they complete the tests. The evaluation is completed in one appointment. The process is simple, flexible and convenient!

Presentations
Schools and organizations oftentimes request me to make presentations to parent groups, employees, congregations, Rotary clubs and the like. These are good opportunities for participants to learn about relevant topics and to apply principles that will make a difference in their lives. Some presentation topics include:

AD/HD: What is It? How is It Diagnosed & Treated?
Is AD/HD a Real Disorder?
How to Raise a Responsible Child
Child disciplining: What Works, What Doesn’t & Why
Learning Disabilities in a Nutshell
Presentations can be made in person or online in a webinar format.
