Counseling Services
We have experienced therapists and counselors who provide effective, compassionate therapy services.
The term Hesed is an ancient word that means steadfast love, ongoing kindness with committed engagement. Consistent with this, we are committed to bringing a holistic approach that takes into consideration all parts of who you are, the biological, psychological, social, and even spiritual aspects of your life, as you address the many challenges of life. These challenges may include anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, relational challenges, attentional concerns, executive functioning challenges, bereavement/grief, OCD, and many other challenges or considerations.
We would consider it a privilege to support and come alongside you as you pursue growth, peace, and increased effectiveness in your life.

Informed by state-of-the-art research and best practices in clinical neuropsychology, we bring a comprehensive and compassionate approach to each and every client. Whether you have concerns emerging for your child in school, are recovering from a medical condition or injury, need clarification related to emotional fluctuations/challenges, experience social challenges, or you begin to experience memory issues, you need a knowledgeable and skilled professional who can assess the situation and help you determine the right next step. We can provide comprehensive, informed assessment services to help bring clarity to situations that otherwise feel chaotic.
At Hesed, we can provide excellent, informed evaluations of cognitive and emotional functioning in potential legal contexts. This assessment may include establishing competency/capacity for medical and legal decision-making; assessing the potential cognitive and emotional impacts of injuries/conditions, such as traumatic brain injury; determining return-to-work status; or assessing the level of disability related to neuropsychological conditions.
Dr. Pyykkonen is a fellowship-trained and experienced clinician with expertise and multiple scientific publications. This has included direct and supervised research related to performance validity, traumatic brain injury, dementia, and various medical conditions, including epilepsy, stroke, cancer, and cancer treatments. He can provide informed, excellent neuropsychological assessments, depositions, and testimony to support your legal assessment needs.
