Psychological Testing is a broad, diverse area of evaluation. While some brief questionnaires can be used by paraprofessionals or master's level providers, more complex instruments and evaluations used as components of psychological assessment - such personality or intelligence testing, or testing for attention and distractibility issues should be conducted by clinical psychologists.
As a clinical psychologist, Dr. Ybarra uses a strength-based, developmental approach, helping the client to identify and use their personal strengths and qualities to help overcome their difficulties in a manner that can be adaptively used as life continues to change. Personal strengths include personality traits, life experiences, race/culture, relationships, religious practice and spiritual beliefs.
It can be difficult to find sound, reliable supervision for post-program, pre-licensure Registered Mental Health Counseling Interns, especially when you are working and training full-time during traditional work hours. Ybarra Psychological Services has two Associates who provide supervision for RMHCI's at extremely convenient times on Weekday Evenings and Saturdays to help accommodate the supervision needs of busy Registered MHC Interns.
A good portion of Dr. Ybarra's clients are private pay. Private pay (or paying out of pocket) helps reassure some clients that do not want their seeking of treatment reported to their employer's insurance or HMO company. Payment or co-payment of insurance is due at time of service, with fees payable by personal check, cash or via Visa, Mastercard, American Express or Discover.

If you are a military veteran and are looking for a fair and just evaluation for a service-connected disability, do not go to see this doctor. I am not sure of the doctors motives, but he not only denied my claim, he denied my secondary claim from a previously established service-connected disability. I am sure the VA has chosen Dr. Ybarra for his negative judgements of Veterans! Call QTC and ask for another doctor before it's too late. This review is based off my own personal experience with this doctor.

After my son was mistreated by his charter school I contacted Dr. Ybarra for an assessment to test if he was gifted. After explaining our situation Dr. Ybarra was very understanding and so helpful. He went above and beyond for us, assessed my son, and did an amazing job of explaining the test results to us.

Poor communication after the visit. I don’t know if he didn’t take good notes or just honestly didn’t care. In him filling out a Veterans Administration DBQ he left out important information discussed during the evaluation that needed to be expressed to the VA provider. Not only did he leave out the most important information he also left certain lines blank. He didn’t even find certain questions worthy of a response at all. The form looked as though it had been rushed through without thought or sense of importance of the person he was evaluating. The forms looked as though he did the bear
