Dr. Jackie Jiang, PsyD, Clinical and Forensic Psychologist

 Dr. Jiang’s clinical work is grounded in careful assessment, structured reasoning, and practical recommendations. She approaches psychological evaluation as an integrated process rather than a simple review of test scores. Her evaluations typically consider clinical interview, developmental and psychosocial history, behavioral observations, record review, collateral information, cognitive testing, academic screening or achievement data, personality and psychopathology measures, attention and executive-functioning data, and adaptive-functioning information when clinically indicated.

Her goal is to provide clear diagnostic clarification and recommendations that are useful to clients, families, schools, therapists, physicians, attorneys, courts, and other referral sources. She places strong emphasis on accuracy, professional ethics, cultural context, and clinically defensible conclusions.

Dr. Jiang provides a broad range of clinical evaluations, which may include ADHD evaluations, autism evaluations, intellectual and cognitive assessment, developmental evaluations, learning disorder evaluations, dyslexia, dysgraphia, dyscalculia, school-related accommodation evaluations, giftedness, behavioral concerns, personality assessment, memory-related concerns, medical clearance evaluations, and career-related assessment questions.

She also provides selected forensic and specialty evaluations, which may include court-ordered evaluations, child custody and parenting time matters, parental alienation, parenting capacity, Rule 215 evaluations, product review, anger management evaluations, fitness-for-duty evaluations, FMLA-related evaluations, FOID-related evaluations, guardianship evaluations, capacity to manage estate, Social Security disability, rehabilitation, surrogacy and adoption matters, immigration-related evaluations, and other referral-based questions when appropriate.
