Testing Clinic

Dr. Gieseke has been performing psychological evaluations since 1987, however with the increased demand for testing, she started our testing clinic in 2016 to increase our capacity to provide needed evaluations. In our clinic, Dr. Gieseke supervises testing technicians, doctoral interns and testing technician interns.
