I have consistently found the work of Dr. Grasso and her practice to adhere to the highest standards of care, professionalism, and ethical practice. Washington Psychology Associates has been my longstanding go-to for assessment referrals. Given the variability in qualifications and offerings for assessment that exist today, Dr. Grasso is a trusted source. You can expect the rigor and thought you would want to see in a high quality assessment.
Dr. Grasso and her team were wonderful to work with. They made what could have been a stressful experience a smooth and positive process. Dr. Grasso walked us through the entire testing process, and then thoughtfully explained the results. I highly recommend Washington Psychology Associates.
This is easily my favorite assessment practice to refer clients to. Over the years, Dr. Grasso and her team have helped many of my clients, and I have consistently been impressed by the quality of their work. They are incredibly ethical, thoughtful, and diligent in their assessments. One of the things I appreciate most is how thorough and careful they are. Their evaluations are not rushed or superficial—they take the time to really understand each individual and provide clear, well-reasoned conclusions. The reports are detailed, clinically sound, and genuinely helpful for treatment planning. As a psychologist, it means a lot to have a practice I can trust to provide careful, objective assessments that truly serve the client’s best interests. Dr. Grasso and her team are professional, responsive, and deeply committed to doing things the right way. I’m always grateful to have them as a referral resource and highly recommend their practice.
It is impossible to speak with ANYONE in the office. Sometimes it takes a few days before I get a return call. I have an amazing therapist so I tolerate this behavior. Come on guys, it’s a doctors office people need to be able to reach someone! Get it together.
As a psychologist, I often need to refer out for individuals who may need neuropsychological testing. Washington Psychology Associates is my go-to recommendation for anyone looking for testing/assessment services. Dana Grasso and her team strike the right balance of professionalism and being a group of very warm, empathic and personable providers. They provide the most thorough testing/assessment reports I have seen. They are ethical, honest, compassionate, and supportive. They are always striving to help individuals gain clarity through their work. I often refer to them for neuropsychological and educational testing for individuals who may be seeking accommodations for school/college and for those who want to determine if they have ADHD, autism, or a learning disability. The search for the right provider can be daunting. For anyone looking for neuropsychological testing and assessment services, you don't need to look elsewhere. These are the folks you want to be working with.
Dr. Dana performed required private school testing on my 5 year old. She made him feel comfortable and welcomed. She was professional and diligent. We had the test results expedited and she went to great lengths to complete the evaluation quickly and thoroughly. I couldn't recommend her more. My son had such a positive experience which has subsequently made him even more excited about kindergarten.
