Hi, My name is Sarika Garga and I specialize in conducting comprehensive Psychological, Psycho-Educational and Developmental Assessments. I perform evaluations that focus on Learning Disability, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and Behavioral Problems.
I also provide Therapy for Children, Adolescents, Adults and Families along with "Parent Support & Training" and Academic consultation. I have extensive experience in attending IEP & MDT Meetings and making Recommendations for Special Education, IEP and 504 plan.
During the sessions, I explain the evaluation findings and recommendations to parents and professionals in a non-technical & easily understood language. I address behavioral difficulties in children with an integrated behavioral/family focused approach. I enjoy working with school age children and young adults.
I am currently credentialed as a "Licensed Clinical Psychologist" in VA and as "Licensed Psychologist" in Washington DC. I completed my Doctorate in Psychology (Ph.D.) with a Master's degree in Psychology (MA), and a Masters in Philosophy (M.Phil).
