Psychological testing exclusively administered and prepared by Dr Engen

Brendan C. Engen, PsyD

Dr Engen uses ‘The Eupatheia Approach’ as his personal method for psychological evaluations. This includes evaluating a person’s psychological functioning - behavior, affect, cognition, motivational dynamics, sociality and interpersonal functioning, familial and environmental context, and physiology. Essentially, what makes a person psychologically unique. Rather than focus too much on pathology and deficits, Dr Engen illuminates an individual’s strengths which can help them navigate life better based on their repertoire.

Dr Engen uses CREYOS, a leading platform developed by Cambridge Brain Systems, for effectively performing testing remotely, as well as in office. He also uses specialized tests such as the Millon and Minnesota, and standardized tests such as Conners, Wechsler, Kaufman, and Becks. Dr Engen typically does not accept insurance for his approach, only self-pay.
