“Be not afraid of growing slowly; be afraid only of standing still.” — Chinese Proverb
Hello, I am Dr. Mahoney. I am a Psychologist at Intuition Wellness Center specializing in psychological and psychoeducational evaluations for children and young adults (ages 5–18). I understand that when a child is struggling to learn or regulate their emotions, families need answers, not just guesses. My goal is to provide diagnostic clarity that highlights your child’s true abilities and offers a clear roadmap for their future success.
How I Help I bridge the gap between clinical psychology and the school system. With over 10 years of experience in Arizona schools and training at the University of Arizona Medical Center, I offer a deep understanding of both medical diagnoses and specific learning needs.
You can come to me for:
Diagnostic Clarity: Understanding the root cause of challenges such as ADHD, learning disabilities, or emotional concerns.
School-Based Advocacy: Identifying the specific support services your child may be entitled to within the school system.
Actionable Plans: Receiving an easily understandable report with targeted recommendations for home, school, and therapy.
My Approach I strive to make the testing process collaborative and comfortable. My assessments are individually tailored, never “one size fits all,” and are typically conducted in small testing blocks on weekends. This scheduling ensures I can answer your specific questions and see your child at their best without disrupting their school week.
My “Why” I come from a family of educators and began my career as an elementary school teacher. It was in the classroom that I felt drawn to advocate for diverse learners who needed more support than the standard curriculum offered. This passion led me to become a School Psychologist and Licensed Psychologist so I could help families understand exactly how their children learn and grow.
Outside the Office When I am not working, you can find me thrift shopping, hiking, or spending quality time with my family.
