The Center for Psychological Counseling and Testing, Dr. Scott Gale, is a comprehensive psychotherapy agency committed to providing a set of vital services to the Middle Tennessee Area. These services include;

Individual and Group Psychotherapy

Our Center can help individuals regain their phychological balance, a sense of well-being, and improve their quality of life. Individual psychotherapy sessions make up the bulk of our practice, or group sessions are available. Most people elect private sessions that might, from time to time, include their loved ones, friends or caregivers. For others, being involved in a group with other people who have a similar purpose reduces feelings of isolation.

Psychological Assesments and Screening

There are numerous reasons for assesment and screening, like simply trying to arrive at a diagnosis to help determine the course of psychotherapy. Or, when decisions have to be made about legal matters, disability issues, and so on, then the standardized information from tests allows the ability to compare results with others. This tool has become an essential part of the psychological field, and Dr. Gale has an extensive history and background in these assesments.

Achievement, Aptitude and
Intelligence

Clients are usually seen in educational or employment settings. Assesments attempt to measure either how much you know about a certain topic, or one's ability to master material in a particular area. Intelligence tests attempt to measure your intelligence, or your basic ability to understand the world around you, assimilate its functioning, and apply this knowledge to enhance the quality of your life.

Neuropsychological

Neuropsychological screening attempts to measure deficits in cognitive functioning (i.e., the ability to think, speak, reason, etc.) that may result from some sort of brain damage, such as a stroke or a brain injury.

Occupational and Personality Assesment

The Center uses these tools attempting to match interests with the interests of persons in known careers. The personality assesment attempts to measure your basic personality style and are most used in research or forensic settings to help with clinical diagnoses.

Clinical Assesments

Attempts to measure specific clinical matters, such as current level of anxiety or depression. Administration and intrpretation of these tests are a part of the 25 years of experience Dr. Gale has accumulated since recieving his PhD.

Consult and Legal Evaluations

Dr. Gale is known as a expert in the legal review of psychological cases. His experience as a Liscensed Clinical Social Worker, the rigors of his doctoral educational experience, and his study of the law and politics of psychology has made his legal and educational reviews uncommon and comprehensive. He has 25 years of clinical and courtroom experience, specializing in emotional disorders. Dr. Gale consistently receives high praise for his clarity of presentation.

Social Service Referrals
