Finding Clarity. Together.

Dr. Bowling is licensed at the doctoral level in North Carolina and New York. She also holds Psypact certification, which allows her to perform services in 42 states. While virtual services are convenient and more accessible, not all concerns and needs are appropriately and properly addressed virtually. Dr. Bowling will consult with you to determine both if you are a match for working together, and the risk/benefit of completing virtual services. 

These evaluations are designed to provide insight and clarity into overall well-being and functioning. The process involves in-depth discovery of history, learning, socialization, emotional regulation, and patterns of strengths and weaknesses. These comprehensive evaluations are designed for a full-picture, and are not "rule out" evaluations, but instead "who am I and what is going on with me?" evaluations. They take several sessions to complete, and all or part of the evaluation may not be covered by insurance. Discoveries revealed can be mood issues like bipolarity, thought issues like schizophrenia, neurodevelopmental issues like Autism, trauma disorders, neurocognitive orders, or other psychopathology. 

Most common questions are related to: Autism, ADHD, Learning Differences, Global Developmental Delay or behavioral/emotional functioning differences. These are often for children, but available through the lifespan. These evaluations are often the gateway to support services like ABA Therapy. 

We evaluate children and adults age 18 months and up. 

All or some of these evaluations may not be covered by insurance. 

Is this the same as a neuropsychological evaluation? No. Neuropsychologists have highly specialized training that allows them to understand and predict where in the brain specifically challenges are stemming are happening. A neurocogntive exam will assess your ability to understand, retain, and use information, as well as your memory skills, and tell you the functional impact of that information. It may or may not coincide with a memory related diagnosis. 

These evaluations are typically requested with individuals who are aging or have had significant brain activity like an accident or stroke. 

All or some of these evaluations may not be covered by insurance. 

These evaluations are highly specialized, and typically geared to aid in some sort of legal or custodial purpose. They may include violence risk assessments, parenting/child custody evaluations, fitness for duty evaluations, or other needed evaluations. Insurance typically does not cover these evaluations.
