Meet Dr. Joshua Dickter
Dr. Dickter is a licensed psychologist with a passion for comprehensive, in-depth assessments that prioritize understanding and self-knowledge. Anyone who has received mental health services has likely recognized that diagnoses themselves are not enough to truly understand their thoughts, their feelings, their behaviors, and how they all fit together. Therefore, while Teton Assessment Services can be used to accurately identify diagnoses for clients, Dr. Dickter aims to set the standard higher. He is committed to providing individualized assessment services that don't just tell clients what they have, but also how it impacts them across all areas of their life.
Dr. Dickter has been serving the Teton community for five years, and is excited to continue doing so through his practice in-town.
Comprehensive Assessment Services
Diagnostic Assessment
We can tailor our assessments to examine the presence of specific diagnoses, including ADHD, learning disorders, anxiety and depressive disorders, and autism spectrum disorder. However, we will go much deeper than simply looking for symptoms of disorders. We identify the contributing factors of these symptoms, in order to provide treatment recommendations that feel relevant and personalized.
Transdiagnostic Assessment
Aside from diagnosis-specific testing, we test for psychological traits that relate to numerous diagnoses and impact the presentation of symptoms. For example, we often test for intelligence, learning style, sensory sensitivities, and more.
Creation of a Comprehensive Report
The true differentiating factor between our assessments comes from our ability to synthesize the in-depth diagnostic data we get with our transdiagnostic data to create a holistic picture of the client as a person, not as a list of symptoms.
Our Mission
Collaboration
We work closely to incorporate the perspectives of parents, teachers, healthcare providers and the clients themselves to ensure that we create a multidisciplinary understanding of the challenges our clients are experiencing.
Compassion
We believe in a compassionate approach to psychological assessment, where clients feel comfortable and heard throughout the process. We take particular care to ensure that our reports focus past the challenges of our clients to also highlight the strengths test data has found.
Community
Through collaboration with community providers, we strive to raise awareness about mental health and the importance of psychological assessment. Our goal is to link clients with relevant community resources and to advocate for new resources when gaps in community care are noted.
