Expert Psychological Testing & Assessment Services Available to Del Mar Residents
Sometimes the path forward feels clouded. When you're facing emotional, behavioral, or cognitive challenges, a psychological assessment can be a meaningful first step toward greater clarity. Restore Psychology offers thoughtful, supportive evaluations to help Del Mar residents better understand themselves and take confident next steps.
Whether you're struggling with focus, learning hurdles, or overwhelming emotions — or you're just searching for answers — our licensed clinicians are here to listen, assess, and guide with care.
What Is a Psychological Assessment and Why It Matters
A psychological assessment helps identify the root causes behind difficulties in thinking, learning, behavior, or emotional wellbeing. It’s a structured, personalized process that includes one-on-one conversations, scientifically validated tests, and observations designed to draw out a full picture of your inner experience.
These assessments can offer answers, open new options for treatment or accommodations, and help individuals move forward with greater confidence.
Types of Evaluations Available for Del Mar Clients
We offer a variety of psychological evaluations tailored to the needs of children, teens, and adults, including:
ADHD assessments for all ages
Learning and academic performance evaluations
Emotional or behavioral issue clarification (e.g., anxiety, mood swings, or trauma)
Diagnostic clarification for complex symptoms
Assessments with optional faith-based integration
Our goal is not just diagnosis — it’s understanding, direction, and a sense of relief that you’re not navigating things alone.
When Should Someone Consider a Psychological Assessment?
Del Mar clients come to us for many reasons, such as:
A child having unexplained difficulties at school
A teen showing signs of distress or disconnection
A college student unsure if they’re struggling with focus or anxiety
An adult noticing changes in memory, organization, or mental clarity
Parents wanting to support their child with the right tools and insight
If something feels off or uncertain — even if you can’t name it yet — we’re here to explore it with you.

Payment Details and Insurance Notes
We are happily taking Aetna, United Healthcare and Anthem Blue Cross for psychological evaluations. We operate as an out-of-network provider with all other insurances, which means we do not directly bill insurance companies. However, many clients successfully submit our superbill to their provider for partial reimbursement.
We also understand that assessments can be a financial investment. We’re happy to talk with you about payment plans or flexible options.
