A Bit About Me

I’m Dr. Allison Mohan, a licensed psychologist with over 20 years of experience providing evaluations for children, adolescents, and adults. I specialize in neurodivergence, anxiety and mood disorders and am deeply committed to neurodivergent-affirming care that honors the unique strengths and challenges of each person.

My approach to testing is collaborative and individualized. Testing offers a unique experience that allows clients to better understand themselves and how they interact with the world. I work closely with clients, parents, and educators to create a complete picture of the individual’s strengths and challenges. I’m committed to helping clients and their families find the strategies and supports they need to thrive.

I am known for my warm, engaging, and fun approach, and I aim to make the assessment process as enjoyable and rewarding as possible. Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my family, enjoying the outdoors, and hanging out with my two herding dogs, Olive & Woody.
