About Us

We strive to understand the entire system affecting the child

Mindspring Development Services is a pediatric neuropsychology practice based in Waldwick, NJ. Dr. Petouvis founded the practice to provide evaluation services for children, adolescents and young adults, while supporting the family unit, schools and other professionals involved.

Child-Centered Care

We believe no child “fits in a box.” We are committed to putting the needs and well-being of each child at the center of everything we do. Our goal is to help each child feel understood and supported.

Evidence-Based Practice

Our practice is guided by collecting measurable information about the youth, in order for parents and schools to feel confident about receiving evidence-based recommendations.

Collaboration and Compassion

We pride ourselves in the ability to work equally with parents and schools. When a school or a parent reaches out, we assure them that the evaluation will be ultimately for the child.

Supporting Growth

With insights from comprehensive assessments or therapy, we provide guidance that support a child’s current and future growth, towards developing skills and resilience needed for every stage of life. 

Our Mission

Our mission is to provide compassionate, evidence-based neuropsychological and related services for children, families, and schools. We aim to empower "the village" surrounding every child with the knowledge and tools necessary to support their unique strengths and challenges.
