The rhythm of summer is slower, softer, and often a little more forgiving. For families and individuals alike, it can also be the ideal time to take meaningful steps toward better mental health and clarity.
At IPAM, we often see summer as more than a season—it’s an opportunity. Without the pressures of packed school schedules or year-end work deadlines, clients have the space to pause and ask important questions:
- What are my child’s learning strengths and challenges?
- How can I better understand my own attention or memory concerns?
- What insights might guide us into the next school year or chapter of life with more confidence?
This summer, we’re encouraging our community to rethink psychological testing—not as a last resort, but as a proactive step toward insight, support, and growth.
In fact, Dr. Debra Brosius and Dr. Eva Theodosiadis were recently featured in McLean Living Magazine to explore this very topic. Their latest article dives into why summer is such a strategic time for psychological evaluations and what families can expect from a thoughtful, personalized process.
Whether you’ve been considering testing for a while or are just now starting to explore it, summer may be your window of clarity.
