Why Choose a Resilience Assessment
Clarity and insight begin here.
A comprehensive, clinical assessment goes beyond providing you with a diagnosis.

FAQs
Testimonials
“The word I use to describe my assessment experience with Dr. Nijjar is “profound.” After struggling with multiple diagnoses over the years, this was the first time I felt understood, affirmed, and most importantly not pathologized. Dr. Nijar had a way to helping me understand myself and my needs in the broader context of my life and I feel better equipped to advocate for myself and face any challenges ahead with confidence.”

“I spent years wondering why I felt out of sync with everyone around me. Dr. Nijjar’s assessment gave me more than a diagnosis—it gave me language for my experience. For the first time, I felt seen, understood, and equipped to make real changes in my life and work. Her process was thoughtful, trauma-informed, and incredibly validating.”
M.R., 27
“I came in thinking I was just burned out. What I discovered through the comprehensive assessment was how long I had been carrying untreated anxiety and unresolved trauma. Dr. Nijjar helped me connect the dots between my past and present. I now have a clearer understanding of myself—and finally, a plan that feels doable and aligned.”
J.L., 25
“Our relationship was stuck in repeating patterns. We weren’t sure if we needed therapy—or if we could even make it work. The couples assessment with Dr. Nijjar gave us clarity and compassion. It was like being handed a map to navigate our differences. We’ve since started couples therapy and are communicating in a way we never thought possible.”
