At MindWell, we turn confusion into clarity and challenges into opportunities — for kids, parents, and educators alike. https://mindwell.us/contact-us/

At MindWell Psychology, we understand that challenges at school, work, or home rarely stem from just one issue. That’s why our experienced, doctoral-level psychologists and licensed therapists take the time to look at the whole picture. We offer comprehensive psychological testing that evaluates cognitive, educational, emotional, behavioral, and developmental factors so we can truly understand what’s going on and how to help. Our in-depth assessments and clear, detailed reports are trusted by public and private schools throughout Northern Virginia, DC, and Maryland — often referred to as the “gold standard.”

Our goal: Get you to the root of the problem and the heart of the solution. Based in Chantilly, VA, MindWell Psychology is a full-service practice offering:
• Psycho-educational and neuropsychological testing
• Social, behavioral, and developmental assessments

International Day of Persons with Disabilities reminds us that disability isn’t always something you can see. At MindWell Psychology, we proudly support neurodivergent individuals, including those with ADHD, autism, learning disorders, and other cognitive or mental health conditions that may not be physically visible.

Invisible disabilities, also known as non-visible disabilities, impact how people learn, communicate, and process the world. These individuals deserve the same respect, access, and opportunities as anyone else. Advocacy, inclusion, and understanding make all the difference.

More than 1 in 4 people experience a disability, and for many, that disability is part of their identity and power. We remain committed to reducing disparities and helping every client reach their full potential with compassion, evidence-based care, and individualized support.

This December 3rd, and every day, we celebrate the resilience, dignity, and contributions of people with both visible and invisible disabilities. 💪🧠

If you or a loved one needs support in understanding a diagnosis or navigating daily challenges, MindWell is here for you.

With holiday stress on the rise this year, MindWell Psychology is here with simple, supportive tips to help you navigate the season with care and compassion:

1️⃣ Have a plan.
Keep 3–5 grounding or mindfulness tools ready when things feel overwhelming like deep breathing, a short walk, or a quick meditation. Practice healthy boundaries, and give yourself permission to step into a quiet room or gently redirect conversations when needed. Be sure to follow up with your mental health providers (therapist, psychiatrist, etc.) if you need additional support

2️⃣ Make space for your emotions.
Grief and loneliness can feel heavier this time of year. Honor loved ones, acknowledge what you’re feeling, or create new traditions that bring comfort. If you’re feeling isolated, stay connected through volunteering or local community events.

3️⃣ Be mindful of social media.
It’s easy to compare your experience to others online. Remember: not everything reflects reality. Plan intentional breaks to avoid doom-scrolling and protect your mental well-being.

4️⃣ Prioritize rest.
The holidays make it easy to lose track of time. Aim for consistent sleep to help regulate mood, energy, and focus. Stick to a realistic sleep routine, and try to avoid caffeine or heavy, sugary foods late at night.

5️⃣ Be realistic with expectations.
Financial stress is real this year. Create a budget that feels manageable, focus on meaningful experiences over material gifts, and remind yourself that thoughtful connection often matters more than cost.

Don’t have a mental health professional for the extra support you need this holiday season? Give us a call at 703-378-7998. From connecting you with the right provider to getting you scheduled with us, our intake coordinators are here to support you!

When school starts to feel harder than it should, it’s easy for kids and parents to feel frustrated or unsure where to turn. Sometimes, the issue isn’t motivation or effort, but an underlying learning or attention challenge that hasn’t been identified yet.

In this episode, ⁠Ann Dolin, M.Ed., founder of Educational Connections, Inc. , talks with Dr. Rachna Varia, a licensed clinical psychologist at MindWell Psychology, about how psychological testing can uncover what’s really getting in the way of a child’s success. They break down what testing involves, why it matters, and how understanding a child’s unique learning profile can change everything.
