Health psychology focuses on the connection between our mind and body. Health psychologists examine how psychological, social, and behavioral factors affect our health, with evidence that maximizing these factors can significantly influence our overall well-being. People experiencing physical symptoms and poor health often describe feeling depressed, anxious, alone or hopeless. We strive to help people struggling with health conditions by promoting emotional health, behavioral change, and by forming a toolkit they can use day-to-day to manage physical symptoms.  

At RICBT & OneCBT, we have a team of clinicians specialized in evidence-based health psychology services. Services are tailored for each individual patient and draw from treatments such as cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, acceptance commitment therapy, pain reprocessing therapy, and others.  Service Areas Include:

What is neuropsychological testing?

Neuropsychological testing refers to the comprehensive assessment of an individual’s cognitive abilities such as memory, attention, problem solving, language, and more to determine how one’s brain is functioning. Results from a neuropsychological evaluation can provide detailed information about a client’s cognitive strengths and weaknesses, assist in making an accurate diagnosis, and facilitate treatment planning and recommendations to help improve functioning in daily life. We offer neuropsychological evaluation and testing services for adults ages 19 & up.

More information about neuropsychological testing can be found on our full neuropsychology page.

WHAT IS ADD/ADHD TESTING?

Dr. Carlos Tilghman-Osborne offers ADD and ADHD testing and assessment for children and adolescents at RICBT. ADHD testing refers to the diagnostic assessment of an individual’s possible deficits in attention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity that may impair academic, home, and other areas of functioning. Testing will aim to determine whether a child or adolescent meets the criteria for Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), indicate whether further and more comprehensive neuropsychological evaluation may be appropriate, and to make recommendations that could be utilized by parents, educators, therapists, and medication providers. We offer ADHD evaluation and testing services for children and adolescents ages 8-18.

WHEN IS ADD and ADHD EVALUATION HELPFUL?

Challenges with attention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity can affect a student’s academic functioning, interactions with peers, and family life. These challenges can also contribute to problems with mood, anxiety, conflict, and self-esteem. ADHD evaluation and testing services can often be helpful for individuals with a history of the following:

• Difficulty following rules at school
• Challenges with keeping up with schoolwork
• Difficulty with listening or seeming like one is “not listening”
• Trouble staying in seat or waiting one’s turn
• Poor organization
• Difficulty with attention to detail
• Patterns of making decisions without considering consequences
• Lagging social skills – seeming to miss more subtle social clues

WHAT IS THE PROCESS LIKE?

ADHD evaluation is broken into 3 essential components:

1. Initial Evaluation (45 minutes): An interview with Dr. Tilghman-Osborne will determine whether ADHD testing would be helpful and help you understand what to expect.
2. Testing (2-3 hours): Parent and child complete questionnaires and tasks onsite, and questionnaires are sent to the appropriate school contact. Results are then tabulated to help create a report of results and recommendations.
3. Feedback Session (45 minutes): You and possibly your child will go over the results and recommendations. We can also include anyone else who may be appropriate.

There are no invasive procedures, no pain, no needles, or electrodes. The testing involves filling out several questionnaires and completing a number of different paper-and-pencil or computerized tasks that at times feel like puzzles and games. For every hour the doctor spends completing direct testing, he spends approximately one hour scoring and interpreting the results and preparing a report. Generally, the doctor will offer you a 45-minute feedback session to review the results 2-4 weeks after the completion of the testing. After reviewing the results with you, you will receive a report which can be sent to a physician, school, or other professional at your request. Additional consultation can be requested.

HOW ARE THE TEST RESULTS USED?

Use of test results depends on the reason for the evaluation. Generally, ADD and ADHD evaluations may:

• Confirm or clarify a diagnosis
• Help inform or recommend therapeutic intervention
• Help with educational recommendations and services (such as 504 plans and IEPs)
• Inform possible intervention with a medication provider

Results may also suggest your child may benefit from referrals to other specialists for neuropsychological evaluation or other mental health concerns.
