What Sets Us Apart

Insight-Driven Care

Treatment Informed by Comprehensive Testing.

At Blackhawk Family Development Center, psychological and educational testing isn’t just one of our services, it’s the foundation of everything we do. As a boutique private practice, we specialize in comprehensive, individualized assessments that go far beyond a diagnosis. Our testing process is designed to uncover the full picture: strengths, challenges, and the underlying factors that shape how a person learns, thinks, feels, and functions. This data-driven insight allows us to craft highly personalized treatment recommendations that are clear, actionable, and grounded in who you are. Whether you're seeking clarity about ADHD, learning differences, anxiety, or emotional functioning, our approach ensures that support is never generic, it’s tailored, precise, and empowering.
