On-site or In-office Evaluations for Children and Adolescents

Lara Hastings, Psy.D. is a licensed psychologist offering on-site or in-office psychological evaluations of children and adolescents ages 6 months through young adulthood.

Dr. Hastings has more than ten years of experience with particular expertise in working with children and adolescents in foster care, many of whom have experienced traumatic relational and environmental adversity in their families of origin.

Giving children a voice to help the adults understand them

The psychological evaluations are tailored to be most useful in answering referral questions and providing a basis for treatment planning, and to give foster children a voice to help the adults in their lives understand them and what they need.

Services can be provided throughout the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex

Services can be provided in an office in Dallas, Tarrant, Collin, or Denton counties, or on-site in foster homes, emergency shelters, child placing agencies, CPS offices, residential treatment centers, some psychiatric hospitals, and correctional centers, throughout the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex and in surrounding counties in north central Texas.

Maximum effort is made to schedule evaluations with attention to the convenience and comfort of the child or adolescent client and his/her caregiver(s).

Reports of psychological evaluations can typically be completed within one week of the evaluation of the child, or possibly sooner when needed.
