Serena McKnight, LPE-I
I am a Licensed Psychological Examiner. I specialize in psychological, educational and developmental evaluations of children and adults. My goal in psychological testing is to work with individuals and families to clarify characteristics and symptoms in order to provide individualized feedback and recommendations. I also provide therapy to individuals of all ages. My approach to therapy is primarily Cognitive-Behavioral with an emphasis in targeting and building upon individual strengths.
My approach to therapy involves identifying maladaptive thoughts and behaviors and using individual strengths and other coping skills in order to decrease psychological distress. In children and adolescents, I prefer to work closely with families and schools in order to provide the best environment for healthy psychological growth.
I have worked with individuals and families experiencing symptoms of:
Anxiety, Depression, Posttraumatic Stress Disorder, Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder, Anger, Oppositional Defiant Disorder, Social Skills Problems, Grief, Parent-Child Relationship Problems, and Marital Problems
