Child & Adolescent Neuropsychology

Dr. Yates was so helpful and knowledgeable in evaluating my 6 year-old son, and providing recommendations to support him in school. One of the best things was how comfortable she made my son, who keeps asking when he can see her again!

Dr. Yates is amazing! Very responsive, knowledgeable and thorough, and she finally gave us the answers we have been searching for for years! She was great with my daughter, and my daughter loved her which made the process so much easier. I am grateful that I found Dr. Yates, and I would highly recommend her to anyone! Thank you so much Dr. Yates!

Dr. Yates was professional, kind and very reliable. She made the entire process a breeze! . I’m very appreciative of her ability to administer testing in a very timely manner. Her suggestions and professional recommendations were extremely helpful in guiding my son on a successful academic path. I highly recommend Dr. Yates for any local DMV families!!!

Dr Yates was very helpful in answering our questions and providing guidance for next steps for us with our child. She is efficient in her testing and her reports are clear and easy to read. We plan to return to her in the future.

We had a wonderful experience with Dr. Yates. She spent a day evaluating one of our children, taking the time to really understand who they are and what makes them tick. Dr. Yates took the time to write a nine page report and go over the findings with us after the fact. We faced 2+ year long waits for evaluations with providers in network, we're very glad we went to Dr. Yates instead, even though the cost was much higher than we would have (eventually) paid with an in-network provider.

Dr. Yates is an exceptional pediatric neuropsychologist and an extraordinary human being. From the very beginning, she guided us through every step of the process with clarity, professionalism, and genuine compassion. Her depth of knowledge is matched by her kindness, patience, and ability to truly listen. She has a remarkable way of making complex situations feel manageable, while ensuring families feel supported, respected, and understood. Her dedication goes far beyond clinical excellence — she clearly cares deeply about the children and families she works with. I have confidently recommended Dr. Yates to friends, family, and colleagues, and will continue to do so without hesitation. Any family fortunate enough to work with her will be in outstanding hands.

We had a wonderful experience working with Dr. Yates for our son’s neuropsychological evaluation. She was thoughtful, patient, and very skilled at connecting with children, which made the process much easier for our family. The evaluation was thorough, and the feedback session was clear, practical, and incredibly helpful in understanding our son’s strengths and challenges. We left with concrete recommendations that have already made a difference. I highly recommend her to any family looking for a comprehensive and compassionate evaluation.

We are so glad we found Dr. Yates! She really took the time to do a thorough, comprehensive evaluation of our child, and her feedback gave us a much better understanding of how our child's brain works and what kind of support it needs. She developed an instant rapport with our child, who felt so comfortable with her that they had no problem spending most of the day "playing games" with her, even though it was an unfamiliar environment. We came to Dr. Yates at a time when our child was really struggling, and we were not sure how best to handle this as parents. Her extensive written report gave us a more concrete vocabulary and framework for understanding these struggles, and we feel much more confident about how we can respond moving forward. We highly recommend.

Dr. Yates conducted a neuropsychological evaluation for our family, and we truly could not have asked for a better experience. From start to finish, she was thoughtful, thorough, and incredibly compassionate. Her insights were both detailed and deeply practical. She is genuinely kind and easy to work with and we would recommend her without hesitation to anyone seeking a neuropsychological evaluation.

I feel extremely fortunate to have found Dr. Yates early in my search to address my child's anxiety at school. She is one of the top experts in her field and I firmly believe she is the best person to conduct pediatric neuropsychological testing in the DC metro area. Her communication is stellar as she was able to take time to speak with me the same day I reached out to her. She is great with children and put my child at ease before "playing games and solving puzzles" with them i.e. conducting the actual assessment. Even after she completed the testing, she was still extremely responsive with any follow-up questions or requests. I strongly recommend Dr. Yates as the first choice for anyone who has a child that is struggling at school and wants to figure out their child's neuropsychological strengths and weaknesses.
