Dr. Rain limits her practice to emotional, behavioral, learning, and developmental problems of infants, children and adolescents. She provides psychological testing and therapy.
Testing
Testing is typically recommended for developmental problems such as Autism Spectrum Disorder, Developmental Delay, Learning Disorders such as Dysgraphia, Dyslexia, 
Dyscalcula, short term memory deficits, and AD/HD (both the Inattentive Type, as well as the Hyperactive/Impulsive Type). Gifted testing is also provided by Dr. Kelly Rain.
Dr. Kelly Rain thoroughly discusses the test findings with the parents. Dr. Rain also prepares a comprehensive report for the parent and Physician. In addition, she also prepares a report the parent can share with the school. These reports have specific recommendations to maximize the child’s learning and performance in school.
Therapy
Therapy for many children is much more effective if the parents participate. By involving the parent, treatment strategies used in the session can be carried out at home. There are some situations where individual therapy is indicated.
Dr. Kelly Rain works with adults only in their position as parents. Many parents work with Dr. Rain to develop specialized parenting tools. If the adults want personal therapy or marital therapy, Dr. Rain can refer them to an associate.

About Medication
Sometimes, medication is an important part of treatment.

As the parent, the decision about medication is always up to you.
How To Get Started
Dr. Kelly Rain initially meets only with the parents in order to get a detailed description of their concerns, as well as a history of the child’s or teen’s development.
