Clarity and Support for Parents Who Need Answers

As parents, we always want to understand our children and support them as best we can. When a child begins to struggle with behavior, attention, mood, or school performance, it is natural to worry and wonder what the next step should be. At Winter Garden Wellness, we are proud to offer a compassionate and research based Mental Health Assessment for School Age Children. This service is designed to help families get clear, reliable answers without waiting months for the school system or another provider.

If you are noticing signs of ADHD, anxiety, depression, or changes in behavior or mood, our evaluation can give you the clarity you need. It gathers the most common concerns parents face into one simple and guided assessment.

Who Is This For?

If you have concerns about your child’s behavior, emotional wellbeing, or development, this evaluation will guide you toward the answers you need. It is ideal for families who are noticing signs of ADHD, anxiety, depression, mood changes, impulsiveness, trouble focusing, or other behavioral challenges.

If the school system is moving slowly, you do not need to wait. Most families can be seen within two weeks, and often even sooner.

What Does The Evaluation Provide?

Our assessment uses evidence based, nationally recognized tools that help identify and clarify concerns related to:

• ADHD
• Anxiety and related subtypes
• Depression
• Behavioral or emotional regulation concerns
• Other neurodivergent tendencies that may be affecting school or home life

These tools are scientifically validated and commonly used in counseling, pediatrics, and mental health settings to help support accurate clinical diagnosis and treatment planning.

What Can I Do With The Results?

Your results will give you a clear understanding of what is or is not occurring with your child. This clarity supports more effective therapy and allows you to coordinate care with your pediatrician, psychiatrist, or other medical providers.

Parents often share these reports with their child’s school. While this assessment is not a full psychoeducational evaluation or an IQ test, it can still be very helpful when seeking accommodations, an IEP or 504 Plan, or support through Florida scholarship programs for homeschool families.

How Long Does It Take?

The process is simple and family friendly.

Step One
A 45 minute consultation with the therapist to discuss your concerns, ask questions, and schedule the evaluation.

Step Two
Your child meets with the therapist to complete the assessment. Parents and teachers can also complete online questionnaires to give additional insight.

Step Three
You meet with the therapist again to review the results and receive your full written report. Most families complete the entire process in one to two weeks.

Cost

The full service Mental Health Assessment for Children package is $495, which includes:

• Initial consultation
• Administration of all assessment tools
• Comprehensive multi page report with results and recommendations

At Winter Garden Wellness, we believe parents deserve clear guidance, trusted information, and timely support. If you are ready to better understand what your child is experiencing, we are here to walk alongside you every step of the way.

If you want a counselor that is not just going to teach your child a few coping skills, but is really invested in working with the family to sustain positive outcomes you need to check out Julie and Winter Garden Kids. Julie was a colleague of mine and former supervisor who’s top priority has always been working in cooperation with the child and family to help maximize positive counseling outcomes. Positive encouragement, open listening, and gentle guidance are characteristics of Julie's professionalism that I love about her approach. Julie has a contagious passion for life and enhancing the child and family relationship. Encouraging growth, exploration, and learning are all a part of what Julie does effortlessly when you work with her. For me, meeting and working with Julie has been a huge bright spot in my career as she has taught me what an exceptionally proficient, moral, ethical, Clinical Counselor truly looks like. I would highly recommend taking a look at Julie and Winter Garden Kids if you are looking for Counseling services.

I highly recommend Bryan for individual and couples therapy. He always made me feel comfortable and I felt like I could be myself which is super important when going to counseling.

Samantha’s massages always relieve my shoulder pain and IT band tension. She targets problem areas and has greatly improved my mobility. Thank you, Sam – you’re amazing!

I met with Bryan for about 8 months. I began meeting with him individually (for about 5 months) and for the final 3 months, my partner and I went together. We cannot be any more emphatic when we say that our experience with Bryan was wonderful.

Bryan demonstrates a superb level of care and commitment to his clients. He fosters an environment of openness, honesty, and acceptance that allows clients to confront their flaws and limitations in order to heal and make changes for the better. It is clear that Bryan is in this profession for all the right reasons and is gifted as a counselor. I would strongly recommend him to anyone.

Thank you Bryan!

To put it simply Bryan is a superstar! Yes, he is an excellent therapist...I have several family members and friends who have been referred to him, and he is absolutely wonderful. He has and uses a Christian foundation with his counseling and has a calm, pleasant demeanor that puts his patients at ease. He is insightful with his approach to therapy and I would recommend him to any colleague, friend, or patient without reservation.

I started working with Bryan 7 months prior to writing this review. I went alone in hopes that he could help with some relationship issues I was unable to solve on my own. Bryan has been nothing short of a miracle in my life. My story is still being written, but I look forward to my appointments with him. He is calm, kind-hearted, and genuinely wants me to succeed. He looks at every angle and gives guidance/suggestions that only betters my situation. Bryan is extremely intelligent and knows how to help people. Better than that he enjoys helping people. I will continue to refer him to anyone and everyone. True companionate people are not just hard to find but he does with the intent of actually building his patients up. I can not say enough great things about him, and strongly recommend him to anyone in need.

My husband and I met with Bryan for about 5 months. The time and money we spent were without a doubt, one of the very best investments we have made for our marriage. The care and commitment with which Bryan treats his clients are outstanding. He patiently, kindly, and honestly helps clients understand situations or wounds with clarity to which he offers sound and concrete steps towards healing. Bryan helped my husband and I to grow as individuals as well as together as a couple, and our marriage was strengthened tremendously.

After our marriage counseling concluded, I continued to meet with Bryan individually for about 3 months. Bryan helped me to understand my need for a better relationship with God which sent me on a journey that completely changed my life. I continue to live with the same struggles (from an incurable medical issue) yet I no longer suffer from the debilitating depression it used to cause me. I will never be able to adequately thank Bryan for the gift his counseling gave me and my marriage.

I would highly recommend Bryan to anyone.

Thank you, Bryan!
