Elevated Insights Assessment — Child psychologist in Denver, CO

This is such a great place to go for adaptive testing. We truly had a wonderful experience with Dr. Jennifer Paz Ryan. From the moment we met her, she was incredibly kind, helpful, and understanding. She took the time to explain things clearly whenever we had questions and made sure we felt supported throughout the process. Her kind voice and bright smile immediately made us feel at ease. One of the most thoughtful gestures was when she gave my daughter a sensory toy bag, it was a small act, but it meant so much to us. It showed how much she genuinely cares. Dr. Jennifer went above and beyond, and we’re so grateful for everything she did. Highly recommend her!

We had an exceptional experience with Elevated Insights for comprehensive neuropsychological testing for both of my sons. Dr. Kate Colón and Dr. Jennifer Paz Ryan were not only incredibly thorough and professional, but also warm, child-centered, and deeply insightful throughout the entire process. As a parent navigating a high-stress situation—including court-ordered evaluations—I cannot recommend them highly enough. Their team made a complex and emotionally charged process feel manageable, respectful, and affirming. Both of my boys are neurodiverse, and Dr. Colón and Dr. Paz Ryan helped us put clear language around their unique strengths and areas of growth in a way that was both clinically sound and practically helpful for school planning, therapy coordination, and daily life. Dr. Colón’s expertise in neurodevelopmental disorders and Dr. Paz Ryan’s trauma-informed, culturally responsive approach created a thoughtful and holistic experience that truly honored who my sons are—not just how they perform on paper. Their final reports were detailed, actionable, and extremely helpful, especially in legal contexts where documentation matters. If you’re looking for neuropsychological testing in Colorado—especially for school planning, legal purposes, or support with complex needs—I absolutely recommend Elevated Insights. They are the gold standard in clinical care and family-centered evaluation, and I will confidently refer other families to Dr. Colón and Dr. Paz Ryan in the future.

I was referred here by denver health and was waiting for the intake papers; I never got them. It’s been a month since the referral was placed, the autism coordinator, my dad, myself (i’m 15) called and emailed them multiple times over these few weeks. The one time they did pick up, they said I needed a referral when I should’ve already had one in the system.

The team at Elevated Insights Assessment are my go to referral source whenever I need to refer my own clients for assessments. I do not trust many people to do autism assessments, especially for adults, but I highly trust and value their work. Their assessment reports are thorough, compassionate and packed full with resources. They are highly knowledgable, sought out, and respected in the realm of autism and neurodivergence.

My experience working with Elevated Insights over the past few years has been outstanding. Jennifer, Kate and the rest of their team shows genuine concern for every student and consistently goes the extra mile to assist families. They are great advocates for children and I strongly endorse their services for any family.

Excellent resource for psychological testing. The Elevated Insights team bring integrity and expertise to their work providing psychological assessments. It is hard to find a good referral for testing, I highly recommend them

We absolutely LOVE the Elevated Insights Team - they are so thoughtful, professional, and thorough and we can't thank them enough for everything they do for children. Fabulous evaluations!!!

Our son had been struggling for years academically but was one of those kids who “just made the mark” every year for it not to be enough for an evaluation at school. I finally decided to reach out to a professional opinion and we are so happy we found Elevated Insights and Dr. Anu. The testing was comprehensive and was explained thoroughly. Dr. Anu was so kind and accommodating to our son. We recently got our son on an IEP at school and they made compliments regarding the thorough report that they received from Dr. Anu. They even tested our son further in language even though he originally tested as “average” based solely on Dr. Anu’s assessment and identified the receptive language disorder, qualifying him for speech therapy at school. The school also used Dr. Anu’s suggested interventions when planning his IEP. I felt I was at a huge advantage when talking with our school as we developed his IEP because of the knowledge I had gained from this assessment and was able to advocate for my son much more proficiently then if I hadn’t taken this path. Thank you to Elevated Insights and Dr. Anu for a job well done and I’m looking forward to my son experiencing more academic success in the near future!

Words can’t express how wonderful Dr. Paz Ryan and her team are!! From the very beginning they were understanding, warm, welcoming, knowledgeable and professional. Our family sought them out for and IEE because our son was denied an IEP. The doctor was so thorough in her evaluation process and patient with our son. She was always available when we had questions and kept in good communication with us and the school. She truly went above and beyond for our family. We just can’t thank her enough!!

Great testing and evaluation processes. Dr Paz Ryan is kind, works well with kids, and is super knowledgeable. Her patience in answering questions and detailed report and resources are very helpful. Highly recommend her!!
