Meet Dr. Brenda Franz
Hello, my name is Dr. Brenda Franz, owner of Heritage Psychology. My goal is to provide thorough comprehensive evaluations for every client. I want you to feel heard and understood through this process. A correct diagnosis is imperative to receiving the right therapeutic treatment, interventions, and accommodations.
Assessment and Intervention Specialties
At Heritage Psychology, we offer a range of neuropsychological and psychological assessments to help guide the next steps in your treatment intervention and goals.
01
Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)
We specialize in diagnosing autism spectrum disorder in the adult population. We also have extensive experience in the diagnosis of ASD in children and adolescents.
04
Re-evaluations
We offer Tricare families re-evaluation services to help get services reinstated such as ABA. These evaluations are typically covered by Tricare.
02
ADHD and ASD have many overlapping symptoms, often making it difficult to differentiate the two. They are also commonly comorbid diagnoses. We specialize in differentiating between the two and providing suggestions for effective interventions and accommodations.
05
Mood/Clinical
Many diagnoses (i.e., depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, panic disorder) have overlapping and similar symptoms; therefore, it is important to differentiate between these disorders. A cognitive and psychological assessment can help determine the correct diagnosis.
03
Psychoeducational Evaluations
We offer comprehensive psychoeducational evaluations. This typically involves cognitive and academic achievement testing which can help determine a learning disability such as dyslexia and dysgraphia.
06
PEERS Social Skills
Dr. Franz is certified in the UCLA PEERS program for adolescents. She offers social skills sessions based off this curriculum to help teenagers improve their social skills and communication.
