Dr Allison Waterworth

This is a follow-​up to my previous review. Due to the skill with which Dr. Waterworth assessed my strengths and what she advised me appeared to be the most compatible with my strengths, I shifted my career focus and am prepared to do the requisite work, including a standardized test which I will soon be taking.
I suppose there may be loads of other therapists, but if I were (and I was) someone who wanted to be tested accurately, quickly, and by a true professional who had a quick grasp of what was going on with her client, I would pick Dr. Waterworth.
And if one considers the cost of such testing around the Bay Area, hers is definitely reasonable. Those that were less expensive that I investigated did NOT have the same level of professionalism or basic compassion as far as I could see, and their timeline for disseminating the results was either absurdly indeterminate or just plain slow.
Save money on generic brand names at Trader Joe’s, not when you are getting tested for something so important.
I will definitely continue to follow up with Dr. Waterworth in the future.

My experience of Dr. Waterworth is that she is highly skilled and very good at what she does. I’ve recommended her on multiple occasions and the feedback from those who have seen her has always been positive.

She is not helpful, an comes across as judgmental. She tries to put words in your mouth and manipulates you. Her goal is to get her job done and to get the check from you ASAP. There are so many therapists in this city, please go find someone else.

The time I spent with Dr. Allison Waterworth, I will never regret. I learned some awesome stuff that really has helped me have a better life. I recommend therapy to anyone who would like to deal with issues they are working on, and Allison is really a very good person to see, if you can.

I recently visted Dr. Waterworth to get tested for a learning disability (I am an adult). I had been preparing for a grad school standardized exam and knew my scores were well below what would be reflective of my intelligence, specifically under time restrictions. I had been studying with a private tutor who suggested I get tested because there was no good explanation as to why I took so long to answer questions. I had always been «slow» taking tests and reading as a child but did well enough to get by with nobody noticing.
Dr. Waterworth responded very quickly to my request for an appointment. She evaluated me and performed the required battery of tests for the exam and was very accommodating in my need to get a response quickly. We reviewed her findings and she was very honest and thorough in explaining anything I had questions on.
I highly recommend working with Dr. Waterworth as an adult or for your child as she is not only kind and understanding but also very familiar with the process in gaining testing accommodations for a variety of exams.
