Who We Work With
About Khalid
I was born and raised in the Northeast United States—first in Philadelphia and then in New York. It was in these vibrant cities that my passion for helping others took root. My journey began with my own experience receiving special education services in school, which gave me a unique perspective as someone who benefited from counseling and support. This experience inspired me to use my knowledge and training to help other families navigate similar challenges.

FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
Do you assess children as well as adults?
Yes! We provide comprehensive evaluations for individuals of all ages, including children, adolescents, and adults. Our assessments address concerns like autism, ADHD, learning disabilities, emotional well-being, and more.
How long does the assessment process take?
The full process, including interviews, testing, scoring, and feedback, typically takes a few weeks. We aim to provide results as efficiently as possible while ensuring a thorough and accurate evaluation.
What can I expect during a psychological assessment?
A psychological assessment typically includes a clinical interview, standardized testing, and questionnaires tailored to your concerns. We take a collaborative approach, ensuring that you feel comfortable throughout the process. After testing, we provide a detailed report with personalized recommendations and next steps.
Why would an adult who suspects they have autism, ADHD or more want an assessment?
Many adults seek an assessment for clarity and self-understanding. If you’ve always felt different, struggled with social interactions, sensory sensitivities, or workplace challenges, an assessment can validate your experiences and provide practical guidance. It can also help with accessing support, workplace accommodations, therapy, and self-advocacy tools. At Kansas City Psychology, we provide compassionate and thorough evaluations to help you navigate your unique journey.
For the Homeschool Parents- Why should a homeschool parent consider an assessment for their child?
Homeschooling allows for personalized education, but an assessment can provide valuable insights into a child’s learning strengths, challenges, and needs. It helps parents tailor their teaching methods, curriculum, and support to best fit their child’s development.
For the Public School Parents - Why should a parent consider getting an independent evaluation for their child?
If a child is struggling in school—academically, socially, or behaviorally—an evaluation provides a deeper understanding of their strengths and challenges. It can identify learning disabilities, ADHD, autism, emotional concerns, or giftedness, helping parents advocate for appropriate support at school.
In addition, under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), public schools must evaluate students suspected of having disabilities. However, school evaluations can be limited in scope, and parents may disagree with the results. A private evaluation provides a second opinion and a more comprehensive, individualized assessment.
For the Private School Parents - Why should a private school parent consider an evaluation for their child?
Private schools are not required to conduct evaluations like public schools. Some private schools may have learning specialists, but they typically do not offer comprehensive psychological or educational testing. Parents often seek private evaluations to gain deeper insights into their child’s needs.

Our team works collaboratively to help children, adolescents, adults, and families better understand their needs and connect with the right support.
How do I know which service I or my child needs?
You don’t have to know exactly where to start.

Contact our office and we’ll help you determine the best next step.

In-person and virtual therapy options are available depending on the clinician and your location.
How can occupational therapy help my child?
Occupational therapy can help children who have difficulty with sensory processing and regulation, fine motor or visual-motor skills, emotional regulation, executive functioning, daily routines, self-care, and independence. An occupational therapy evaluation can help identify your child’s strengths and determine where additional support may be helpful.
Can I receive more than one service at Kansas City Psychology?
Yes. One advantage of a multidisciplinary practice is that different areas of functioning can be considered together. When appropriate, our psychologists, therapists, speech-language pathologists, and occupational therapists can collaborate to help develop a more complete understanding of an individual’s needs and coordinate recommendations and care.
Do you accept insurance?
Kansas City Psychology works with a variety of insurance plans. Coverage can vary depending on the service, provider, and individual insurance plan, so we recommend contacting our office to verify coverage and benefits before beginning services.

How does virtual therapy work?

Is virtual therapy as effective as in-person therapy?
For many concerns, like anxiety, depression, and stress, research shows virtual therapy can be just as effective. We will help you decide which option is the best fit.

A private, quiet space, a stable internet connection, and a device with a camera and microphone.

What is occupational therapy?
Occupational therapy (OT) helps children and adults build the skills they need for everyday life, including sensory processing, self-regulation, fine motor skills, and daily living tasks.
Who can benefit from occupational therapy?
OT can help kids and adults with sensory sensitivities, handwriting or fine motor difficulties, trouble with emotional regulation, autism, ADHD, developmental delays, or challenges with daily routines.
What happens in an OT session?
Sessions are hands-on and goal-focused. Activities are often play-based for children and are built around the skills that matter most at home, at school, or at work.
Do I need a referral for occupational therapy?
Some insurance plans require a referral from a physician. Our office can help you check your coverage before your first visit.
