Ana C. DiRago, Ph.D., Bay Area Psychological and Educational Assessment
I (Dr. DiRago) am a licensed psychologist who specializes in psychological, neuropsychological, and educational evaluations for adults, children, and adolescents. I am committed to providing assessments that are both tailored to each person and meet the highest professional standards as set by best practices in the field.
I offer a variety of evaluation options to help you understand your, or your loved ones, strengths and challenges as well as their root cause. The purpose of these evaluations is two-fold: to present a “full picture” understanding of a person, and to provide individualized strength-based recommendations that consider practicality and access to resources.
