Dr. Colleen Long, PsyD 

Licensed Clinical Psychologist | Mental Health Entrepreneur

I’m Colleen Long — a licensed clinical psychologist and mental health entrepreneur with over 20 years of experience helping people find clarity through psychological testing and assessment. As the founder and CEO of a bicoastal psychological testing practice, I’ve performed more than 7,500 evaluations for children, teens, and adults — work that has guided thousands of families toward the right diagnoses, treatment plans, and next steps in their mental health journey.

I specialize in comprehensive psychological and neuropsychological assessments for people ages 7 to 85. My expertise includes ADHD, autism spectrum disorders, anxiety, depression, trauma, learning disabilities, and diagnostic clarification. I also provide specialized evaluations, such as pre-operative assessments for bariatric surgery and spinal cord stimulator procedures, and screenings for egg donor and gestational surrogate candidates.

At the heart of my approach is a simple philosophy: you’d never undergo surgery without an X-ray, so why begin therapy or medication without proper testing? I believe accurate assessment is the foundation for effective treatment. Getting clear on the root causes early helps clients avoid years of frustration with interventions that don’t work.

Outside of the testing room, I’ve written three books — Happiness in B.A.L.A.N.C.E., Meditation Medication, and Full From Within. I’ve also shared my expertise with broader audiences as a media contributor for outlets like CNN, HLN, The Discovery Channel, and E!, including regular appearances on On Call with Dr. Drew.

As a psychologist, author, and entrepreneur, I’m passionate about scaling access to quality mental healthcare nationwide. I love mentoring other psychologists and finding creative ways to use technology and innovation to close the gaps in our system.

On the personal side, I’m a mom to three elementary-school-aged kids, which keeps me grounded and on my toes. I love playing piano, studying AI (yes, I’m a bit of a tech nerd), and spending time with my family. At my core, I’m endlessly curious, energetic, and driven to make a difference — qualities that fuel both my professional mission and my personal life.
