Brian Burgoyne, PsyD, LP is owner and co-founder of Minding My Own Psychological Assessments, PLLC. Dr. Burgoyne specializes in psychological assessments that evaluate ADHD, autism spectrum, intellectual disability, neurocognitive disorders, and more.
Trouble concentrating, despite your best efforts? Maybe you feel stuck in therapy, or are confused by a previous diagnosis? If you are tired of looking for answers, consider an evaluation. Psychological assessments explore functioning in unique ways. You will leave with self-understanding and suggestions for immediate symptom relief. Previous interventions that may have been unsuccessful may have been due to the wrong framework and approach. Delayed, missed, and wrong diagnoses limit access to relevant supports. Call today for a free, 15-minute consultation.
Psychological assessments provide a ‘mile-high’ view of strengths and growth edges, frame cognitive abilities in an understandable manner, and are used to diagnose and accommodate clients. Significant gains are often made in therapy due to a better understanding of symptoms and implementation of individual, evidence-based treatment recommendations.
Neuropsychological assessments are designed to examine a decline in cognitive functioning, using paper-and-pencil tests. People in motor vehicle accidents with traumatic brain injury concerns, as well as older individuals noticing changes in their abilities, may consider a neuropsychological evaluation. These assessments explore activities of daily living and any troubling new cognitive, behavioral, or personality developments. Health and safety practices and independent living skills are also addressed.
Dr. Burgoyne is a Colorado licensed psychologist with six years of assessment experience. He is a member of the Colorado Psychological Association (CPA) and American Psychological Association’s (APA) Division 42: Psychologists in Independent Practice. He graduated with a doctorate in clinical psychology from the Michigan School of Psychology, an APA-accredited program.
