About Dr. Christopher J. Quarto
I’m a licensed psychologist serving adults and families in Tennessee and beyond. My clinical focus is on comprehensive psychological evaluations that clarify conditions such as ADHD, Autism Spectrum Disorder, anxiety, depression, trauma-related concerns, and learning challenges. I help people understand what’s really going on — and figure out what to do next.
My Philosophy & Approach
People come to me when they’re puzzled by their experiences, unsure why symptoms persist, or when previous explanations haven’t fully helped. I believe that the most meaningful progress happens when:
-
people understand themselves more deeply,
-
their strengths and life experiences are acknowledged,
-
and tailored recommendations are grounded in a clear, data-informed understanding of who they are.
I work collaboratively with you — at a pace that feels safe and respectful — to explore not just what you’re experiencing, but why it’s happening and how to move forward.
What I Do: Psychological Evaluations & Diagnostic Clarity
My primary clinical service is psychological evaluation and assessment. These are structured, evidence-based processes that go beyond brief screenings to provide detailed, meaningful insights into what’s contributing to your challenges. This includes:
-
ADHD / Attention-related evaluations
-
Adult Autism Spectrum testing
-
Learning disability and academic skills assessments
-
Evaluation for anxiety, depression, trauma, and emotional patterns
Instead of relying only on checklists or interviews, comprehensive evaluations involve standardized measures, careful interpretation of patterns over time, and thoughtful integration of history and current functioning. This process helps determine not just what symptoms look like, but what they mean.
Telehealth & Practice Reach
I maintain a private practice in Murfreesboro, TN, and offer secure telehealth psychological evaluations to clients in Tennessee and — through PSYPACT — in many other states. This allows individuals across wide geographic areas to access comprehensive assessment services without unnecessary travel.
Who I Work With
While my focus is on psychological evaluation services, I have experience across diverse settings and populations. I support people who are:
-
seeking diagnostic clarity after confusing or overlapping symptoms
-
wondering whether ADHD, autism, or learning differences may apply
-
trying to understand emotional patterns like anxiety, mood concerns, or trauma
-
looking for practical and individualized recommendations and next steps
Therapy and Current Focus
Although I have provided therapy in the past, my current clinical work is focused on assessments and group psychoeducation programs. This allows me to give full attention to the depth and quality of evaluations and specialized courses that help people make sense of their experiences.
Professional Background
I am licensed as a psychologist in Tennessee and Michigan and am listed in the National Register of Health Service Psychologists. I also hold the PSYPACT credential, which supports interstate telehealth assessments and therapy services. Prior to private practice, I worked in community mental health and psychiatric settings, and I served for many years as a professor in the Professional Counseling program at Middle Tennessee State University.
My academic work included teaching adult counseling, diagnostic assessment, and psychological testing — all of which inform how I approach evaluations today.
Personal Perspective
Understanding the human side of psychology matters. I’ve lived through challenges and continue my own personal growth journey one day at a time. I bring warmth, humor, and genuine curiosity into my work.
