Dr. Eatman works to be realistic and practical, and tailors all therapeutic interventions to the needs of the individual. She will use a collaborative, and empowering approach to help clients become their own therapist to ensure that all therapeutic gains are maintained in the future. She uses research-based interventions designed for the specific concerns that the individual presents and works to assist in identifying values and meaning that the individual wants to life their life by.
In addition to therapeutic services, Dr. Eatman also provides Neuropsychological testing services. Neuropsychological testing provides insight into an individual’s Cognitive strengths and weakness in the different domains of thinking. Testing can help a person gain insight in the difference between normal age-related cognitive changes and changes due to disease and injury. Neuropsychological tests can be a part of a medical evaluation, provide diagnostic clarification, and aid in treatment planning.
