Employee and Family Resources offers psychological testing. If you’re looking to schedule psychological testing for your child, EFR is a great option. We currently have a short waitlist for participants, and our testing takes place over multiple sessions to ensure accuracy and prevent “burnout” in your child. All services are provided a private pay basis (not eligible under insurance). Please speak with your provider if you would like to set up a payment plan.

Student Assistance Program (SAP) & Outpatient Counseling
Maddox*, an elementary-aged student, struggled with anger outbursts, physical aggression, and difficulties with problem-solving. After spending years off-and-on in therapy seeking treatment with various providers only to remark that “none seemed to want to listen,” Maddox’s parents sought SAP services through their district.
Today, Maddox is completing his SAP sessions and moving towards outpatient counseling. He has reduced his anger outbursts and has learned skills to help him successfully navigate challenging days.
