Jessa Mohaddess Westmoreland, Psy.D.

 

I specialize in providing psychological and neuropsychological assessments that offer deep insights into the cognitive, emotional, and behavioral patterns of individuals across the lifespan. My approach to assessment goes beyond simply gathering test results or making a diagnosis; I view it as a collaborative process aimed at understanding the root causes of your struggles and identifying pathways to meaningful change. I work closely with children, adolescents, and adults who feel stuck or uncertain about why previous interventions haven't been effective, helping them gain a clearer understanding of themselves or their family.

As an assessing clinician, my style is relational, insight-oriented, and developmentally focused. I believe in the transformative potential of the therapeutic relationship and strive to build strong, empathetic connections where clients feel truly heard and understood. My approach to testing focuses on addressing the challenges that are impacting your life and empowering you to develop sustainable strategies for growth and healing. I'm passionate about working with individuals from diverse backgrounds, including those with intersecting sexual and gender identities, and I tailor my approach to meet the unique needs of each client.
