She has a specialization in the area of testing and assessment with over 17 years of experience. Assessments provide accurate and time efficient methods to measure an individual's current level of functioning.

While Dr. Origer assessed my daughter for giftedness when she was 5, we didn't apply to Mirman School back then due to distance/proximity concerns. However, we had her re-assessed in late 2020. Same great results, and we are in the process of applying to Mirman now. Dr. Origer is just as wonderful as she was 5 years ago, and I would still recommend her to anyone looking to have their child tested for giftedness, or applying to Mirman School. It seems that now, Dr. Origer has 2 office locations, although we went to the same lovely office in Agoura Hills.

Monica was my therapist for 10 years and I can't say enough good things about her. She helped me through some very pivotal moments in my life. She has a vast knowledge psychological information and is able to explain it in such an engaging way. She's super easy to talk to and I often felt like I was getting advice from a friend. You can tell Monica loves her work!

We visited Dr. Origer for IQ testing for our 4 yr old. Our daughter loved the entire experience. It feels a bit strange to be giving your 4 year old an IQ test, and we didn't want her to feel any sort of pressure to perform. Monica was wonderful at creating a relaxed, fun atmosphere from beginning to end. Our daughter was very comfortable and has several times asked when she can go back to play games with Monica. She had no idea she was taking a test which is exactly what we wanted. As for the results, we waited for a half hour after our testing and then the doctor was able to review them
