JUST Psychological Services welcomes and stands with people of all races, ethnicities, immigration statuses, religions, genders, sexual orientations, socioeconomic statuses, ages, education levels, abilities, and sizes.

At JUST Psychological Services we offer a comprehensive approach to treatment. Our goal is to provide answers and direction.

We believe in direct and timely services that offer a clear path to improve your child and your family’s functioning. We are committed to providing neurodiversity affirming, affordable and individualized care.

Comprehensive Child & Adolescent Psychological Evaluations

Where other facilities have months to year-long wait times, we strive to get you scheduled quickly.

Once the evaluation begins, your provider will meet with you within 3 weeks to give you comprehensive verbal and written feedback. This is much quicker than most providers. We want you and your child/teen to get answers and access to services as soon as you can.

Autism Evaluations

We conduct comprehensive assessments of your child/teen’s social communication skills, using the Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule (ADOS-2) and other measures of developmental and cognitive skills, to provide diagnostic clarity and treatment recommendations.

Educational Evaluations

We assess for learning disabilities (Dyslexia, Dysgraphia, and Dyscalculia) and talented and gifted identification. Our team is attentive to the many factors that can impact learning. You will better understand your child/teen’s unique educational needs and how to advocate for supports and interventions.

Psychological Evaluations

Questions about ADHD, anxiety, depression, irritability/agitation, etc.? A psychological evaluation will clarify your child/teen’s strengths and weaknesses, provide diagnostic clarity, as well as recommendations to help them move forward.

Work With Us

We do not have a one-size-fits-all approach and will customize your child/teen’s treatment to his/her/their specific needs. We value collaborating with other providers and regularly contact primary care doctors, therapists, and teachers.

We look forward to being part of your team.

  • Jenny Simon-Thomas’ knowledge and discernment help families to gain a better understanding of what their child needs to thrive. She is patient and kind, and she has a gift for connecting with individuals to help them feel comfortable. Her compassionate and neurodivergent-affirming approach is very supportive for individuals with a diverse range of needs. Her evaluative reports are comprehensive, and her method of evaluation sessions plus parent meetings is very helpful to give parents insight and understanding in helping their child to thrive.

  • “I can’t tell you what a relief it is to have such a thorough assessment. I finally have a compass and better understanding of my child. I feel more patient and confident in our direction. I also feel I can celebrate the fact that I have a kid who is smart and different and that is what makes them wonderful! Thank you, Dr. Jenny.”

    - Parent of an 8 year old

  • “It is so helpful to know who to turn to with these questions. My family has been searching for answers for so long and Dr. Jenny was able to look beneath the surface and identify why my child has been struggling and what we need to do to help her. Dr. Jenny really “saw” my child.”

    - Parent of a 15 year old

  • "Dr. Simon-Thomas’ wealth of knowledge, clinical judgement, and expertise, as well as her charismatic personality and excellent communication skills, are appreciated by her colleagues and patients. Whenever I referred a patient to be evaluated by Dr. Simon-Thomas, she always provides diagnostic clarification and guidance for the child’s mental health treatment. Not only do I have great trust in her clinical skills, but she demonstrates great personal care for and investment in her patients. She goes the extra mile!"
