Greater Cincinnati Psychology Associates (GCPA) was established to provide clinically efficient and effective psychology services in the Greater Cincinnati Area. We are an evidence-based practice dedicated to working with individuals, couples, families, groups, businesses, and institutions to resolve a variety of situational problems.
GCPA adheres to the Mental Health Patient’s Bill of Rights and these privacy policies.
Therapy and Counseling
Our primary goal is to improve the way our clients feel, and depending upon an individual’s needs and wishes, a variety of therapeutic models may be considered before determining the best course of action for that person. However, at Greater Cincinnati Psychology Associates, we emphasize Solution Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT). This approach to counseling is brief and effective because it’s forward-looking in setting goals, works at building solutions that utilize the client’s own resources, seeks to identify solutions that are uniquely appropriate to individual client needs, and has tremendous potential for creating lasting change. More About SFBT

- Family life cycle changes and readjustments
- Living with a developmental disability — yours or that of a family member

Psychological Assessments
We offer diagnostic psychological assessments including expert evaluations for the elderly, expert evaluations for mental retardation, and assessments for emotional-behavioral disorders.
The service helps to clarify difficult diagnoses as well as treatment and rehabilitation options through the evaluation of cognitive function, emotional health, personality and the biological and behavioral aspects of brain function.
A wide array of psychological assessment procedures are used. The specific procedures employed are tailored to the particular purposes of the evaluation and may include tests of cognitive and intellectual capacities, academic achievement, objective and projective tests of emotional status and personality, and tests of neuropsychological functioning. A clinical interview is typically a part of assessment evaluations.
We are also trained to provide expertise for guardianship evaluations and for MRDD placement.
