About Pasadena MindWorks

  • We are a child‑centered psychological assessment practice specializing in comprehensive neuropsychological evaluations. Led by Dr. Dittu—a clinician with advanced training in child psychology, learning disorders, ADHD, and emotional‑behavioral evaluation—our work is grounded in both clinical expertise and deep compassion for the families we serve. We are dedicated to providing clear answers, evidence‑based insight, and a supportive experience from start to finish.

  • We use a holistic, science‑based evaluation process that combines clinical expertise, standardized testing, and individualized insight to provide clear diagnoses and actionable recommendations. Every assessment is tailored to the child, integrating parent input, school feedback, thorough records review, standardized rating scales, and one‑on‑one testing to assess cognitive abilities, attention and executive functioning, academic skills, memory, processing speed, emotional functioning, and social‑emotional well‑being. We deliver precise diagnoses, personalized insights, and actionable recommendations so families walk away with clarity and a clear roadmap forward.

  • We work with school-age children, adolescents, and young adults who are experiencing challenges with learning, attention, behavior, emotional health, or school performance. Families turn to us when navigating questions about ADHD, learning disabilities (dyslexia, dysgraphia, dyscalculia), giftedness and twice‑exceptionality, anxiety, depression, and other complex profiles. Whether your child is struggling to stay focused, falling behind academically, overwhelmed by big emotions, or simply not reaching their potential, we provide the comprehensive answers and support needed to understand what’s going on—and what will help.

About Dr. Dittu

Dr. Dittu is a licensed clinical psychologist specializing in comprehensive psychological, neuropsychological, and psychoeducational assessments for children, teens, and young adults. She is known for providing clear, thoughtful assessments that help families understand their child’s learning profile, strengths, and areas of need.

Her expertise includes ADHD evaluations, learning disability testing (dyslexia, dysgraphia, dyscalculia), gifted and twice-exceptional assessments, and child mental health evaluations. She uses a data-driven, individualized approach to guide meaningful recommendations for treatment, school supports, and targeted interventions.

Before earning her doctorate, Dr. Dittu spent nearly a decade working as a child and family therapist, allowing her to integrate clinical precision with real-world insight. This combined experience helps her translate complex findings into practical, actionable guidance for families, schools, and providers.

Her work is guided by a simple goal: to empower families with clarity, direction, and a roadmap that helps their child thrive.
