Winter Garden Wellness now offers a comprehensive mental health assessment for school age children. This evaluation helps parents understand concerns related to behavior, attention, mood, or emotional wellbeing. If you are noticing signs of ADHD, anxiety, depression, or changes that have you worried, this process brings everything together in a simple and guided way. Using trusted, research based tools, our assessment provides clear insight into what your child may be experiencing and gives you the information you need to make confident decisions about therapy, school support, and next steps for care.
How a Counselor Guides Your Family Through This Process
Choosing a mental health counselor to guide this process gives your family a thoughtful, personal approach that many parents find comforting. A counselor spends time getting to know your child, listening to your concerns, and understanding the challenges you see at home and at school. This relationship helps ensure that the evaluation reflects the whole picture, not just a quick screening. Once complete, you can take the results to your child’s pediatrician to support conversations about accommodations, school needs, or any next steps. Many families appreciate having a clear, detailed report in hand when meeting with teachers, pediatricians, or other providers who are helping their child succeed.
Frequently Asked Questions
We’ll Answer
During the assessment, your child will meet one on one with the therapist in a calm, supportive setting. The therapist will guide them through age appropriate questions and activities designed to understand their behavior, emotions, attention, and overall wellbeing. Parents and teachers may also be asked to complete short online questionnaires to provide additional insight into how your child is functioning at home and at school. These different pieces work together to create a complete picture of your child’s needs. The process is gentle, straightforward, and designed to help your child feel comfortable while giving you meaningful information you can trust.
The total cost of the assessment is $495. This includes your initial consultation with the therapist to talk through your concerns and decide if the assessment is the right next step. It also covers the full administration and scoring of all assessment tools, any parent or teacher questionnaires, and a written multi page report that explains the results in clear, easy to understand language. Finally, you will have a follow up appointment with the therapist to review the findings together, answer your questions, and discuss recommendations and next steps for supporting your child at home, at school, and with other providers.
The first step is to schedule a parent consultation. This allows us to learn more about your child, your family’s needs, and to create a plan together. From there, we’ll schedule your child’s assessment and start the process.

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!
