You deserve to feel confident in the people evaluating your child.
Little Constellations combines clinical expertise, thoughtful evaluation, and a deeply human approach to help families better understand their child and what comes next.
An evaluation should give you more than a label.
Families often come to an evaluation looking for answers. A diagnosis is a useful tool - it provides a clear foundation for understanding your child's needs and finding the right support, but a diagnosis alone doesn’t always tell you why your child is struggling, how their strengths and challenges fit together, or what to do next.
Little Constellations was founded around a simple belief: a thoughtful evaluation should aim to provide a clear diagnosis while also helping you understand your child and leaving you with a clearer path forward.
We take the time to look beyond a single concern, bring the pieces together, and translate complex findings into information your family can put to work.
A family-run practice built around thoughtful care.
Raquel J. Confer, Psy.D., and Jacob R. Confer, Psy.D., are psychologists and parents raising their own young family in Colorado. Together, they founded Little Constellations to provide the kind of careful, collaborative evaluation experience they believe families deserve.
