Psychologist
Dr. Kesterson-Cravens specializes in evaluations with individuals 2 years to 17 years old for Autism/Intellectual Disabilities/ADHD,/Anxiety/Mood Disorder
Dr. Kesterson-Cravens I am a Licensed Psychologist who values timely diagnosis and intervention. I specialize in the evaluation of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ages 2 to 18), with significant experience in differential diagnosis. That means I have a deep understanding of many conditions and that I consider the whole child to make a proper diagnosis. I aim to help you gain valuable insight into your child and access vital services. In addition to Autism evaluations, I also complete mood, ADHD, and behavioral evaluations. I have over 15 years of experience which gives me a deep understanding of personalized assessment and intervention. With my background in the school system and severe behavior, I bring a deep understanding of services and recommendations. I enjoy sharing that knowledge with parents. For therapy, Dr. Cravens, specializes in helping children and adolescents thrive using a warm, practical approach rooted in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and proven behavioral strategies. Whether your child is struggling with Autism, anxiety, ADHD, mood concerns, or behavior challenges, therapy sessions are tailored to meet their unique needs.
