I'm Dr. Sarah Minor, a licensed clinical psychologist who has been providing psychological assessments for adults for more than 20 years, much of that time in a large integrated healthcare system.

I started graduate school with a passion for test development — combining more abstract theory with test construction and applying statistical analysis. That passion grew and changed in important ways once I started working with individual clients: I discovered that I loved helping people understand themselves even more, and psychological assessment and testing was a perfect way to do that. I apply empirically validated tools to help people understand their diagnoses and how their brains work, then recommend evidence-based strategies to make life run more smoothly.

Most people describe me as warm and empathic, and sometimes funny, but also willing to say the hard things. I'm skilled at explaining data in a way that makes sense and is useful, and I focus on practical, useful recommendations.

Whether you found me through the recommendation of your provider or through your own research, I look forward to talking with you to see if what I offer is a good match for your needs. Click the button below to schedule a free 15 minute phone consultation.
