STPS Provides Neuropsychological Testing for Cognitive Clarity

Why are so many teenagers battling anxiety in silence, parents overwhelmed by conflict, and adults questioning their emotional resilience without knowing where to seek trusted help? In Seattle, Shilshole Therapeutic and Psychological Services (STPS) is redefining how comprehensive mental health care is delivered through precise psychological assessments and culturally attuned therapy solutions. Inspired by the Lushootseed meaning of “threading the needle,” the practice approaches each client’s journey with intentional care, guiding them through complex emotional terrain with clarity and respect. STPS combines doctoral-level expertise with a bilingual, bicultural foundation to ensure that language and culture never stand in the way of healing. Founder Dr. Leonora P. Cabrera, a Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology with over 13 years of clinical experience, combines evidence-based methods, empathy, and research-driven strategies to guide individuals and families toward lasting growth and emotional stability.

STPS offers a wide continuum of evidence-based mental health services tailored to adolescents, adults, and parents. Through Individual Therapy Services, clients receive structured support for anxiety, depression, trauma, existential stress, and life transitions using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy. Families navigating separation benefit from Co-Parent Psychotherapy, which strengthens communication and reduces high-conflict dynamics, while Reunification Therapy works to repair strained parent-child relationships affected by estrangement or alienation. For diagnostic clarity, Neuropsychological Testing evaluates cognitive functioning, learning differences, mood disorders, dementia, and other neurodegenerative conditions. In addition, ADHD and ASD Evaluations utilize multi-modal assessments, interviews, and standardized tools to provide accurate diagnoses and actionable recommendations that empower clients at school, home, and work.

Beyond therapeutic care, STPS is recognized for delivering objective, court-informed evaluations that meet rigorous professional and legal standards. Forensic and Court Mental Health Evaluations support attorneys and judges with impartial analyses of competency, risk, and psychological functioning, while Parenting Evaluations Services provide child-centered insights for custody and family court proceedings. For individuals navigating complex immigration processes, Immigration Evaluations offer detailed psychological reports for hardship waivers, asylum, VAWA, and U-Visa cases, carefully aligned with USCIS and court expectations. All services begin with a comprehensive intake and include personalized feedback sessions, either in person or through secure, HIPAA-compliant virtual platforms. “The most effective assessments and therapy solutions combine scientific rigor with cultural understanding,” says Leonora P. Cabrera. “When people of any age feel seen, heard, and respected, meaningful change becomes not only possible, but sustainable.”

STPS is a Seattle-based psychological practice providing bilingual therapy and comprehensive psychological evaluations grounded in doctoral-level training and forensic expertise. With a mission to guide diverse communities toward clarity, resilience, and emotional wellness, the practice blends clinical precision with cultural responsiveness. Through trusted assessments, compassionate therapy, and unwavering professional integrity, STPS empowers individuals and families to move forward with confidence and renewed strength.
