At Knight Psychological Institute, we help your child find their voice in the midst of worry or sadness. We specialize in identifying how emotional health impacts learning and social functioning, providing a clear path toward resilience and emotional well-being.
Signs & Symptoms: Does this sound like your child?
Physical Complaints: Frequent stomachaches, headaches, or fatigue that occur most often before school or social events.
School Refusal & Avoidance: Significant distress regarding school attendance or avoiding previously enjoyed activities and social gatherings.
Irritability & Withdrawal: A noticeable change in mood, characterized by being 'quick to anger' or a desire to spend excessive time alone.
Excessive Worry: Persistent fears about the future, the safety of loved ones, or a fear of making mistakes (perfectionism).
Our "Whole Child" Evaluation Process
Clinical Interviews: We provide a safe space to discuss feelings with your child while gathering your vital parental perspective on their emotional history.
Standardized Rating Scales: We use evidence-based tools to measure the severity of anxiety and depressive symptoms compared to clinical benchmarks.
Differential Diagnosis: We distinguish between typical childhood anxiety and clinical disorders, as well as the overlap between anxiety and ADHD/Autism.
Review of Functional Impact: We analyze how emotional symptoms are interfering with your child's sleep, eating, social life, and academic performance.
Results: A Roadmap for School & Home
Formal Clinical Diagnosis: A diagnosis recognized by medical providers and school districts, which is a key step in securing support.
Educational Advocacy Data: Our data supports the need for educational accommodations (like "cool-down" passes or extended time) within multiple East Valley school districts.
Therapeutic Roadmap: Clear recommendations for evidence-based treatments such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and social-emotional skill building.
