PSYCHOLOGICAL/PERSONALITY ASSESSMENTS
Dr. Rick Perea, Ph.D., is a level C (highest level) psychological/personality assessment interpreter. ThinkOne is qualified and trained to administer personality assessments to measure characteristics that are observable (overt) and not observable (covert). For example, thoughts, feelings and perceptions are covert behavior which we cannot observe with the naked eye. Here in lies the value of a personality assessment; when determining employee selection for teams and organizations, ThinkOne can look into the “window” of a person’s covert behavior and illuminate potential weaknesses or vulnerabilities. The assessments can also illuminate “hidden” competencies and acumen among potential workers. Find out how the use of psychological/personality assessments can make your organization more dynamic and competitive in today’s ever changing climate and culture of organizational behavior.
PRE-COLLEGE COUNSELING AND PLANNING
Deciding where to attend college is one of the biggest decisions we may make in our lives and probably the most important one up to this point in time in an adolescent’s life. ThinkOne provides strategies and individualized guidance during a student’s high school years to plan and apply to colleges. We assist throughout the entire planning and application phases including but not limited to: academic course selection and rigor, a personalized list of criteria, how many times and when to take the SAT/ACT, application tips, letter of recommendation strategies and guidance in writing college essays. ThinkOne offers an objective voice regarding academic choices to ensure a great person-environment fit for your student.
HIGH SCHOOL STUDENT-ATHLETE COLLEGE CONSULTING
Because ThinkOne’s primary principals are former athletes that have also experienced the recruiting process through their children’s experiences as division one scholarship athletes, they are uniquely positioned to impart a great deal of knowledge on how the recruiting process works today. Also, finding the right fit for your student/athletes is paramount to experiencing both academic and athletic success regardless of division at the college level. ThinkOne offers an objective voice regarding academic and athletic choices to ensure a great person-environment fit for your student/athlete.
TEST ANXIETY COUNSELING
Many students believe they have some degree of test-taking anxiety and some to the point that they severely underperform on tests despite adequate preparation. ThinkOne employs PST or Psychological Skills Training methods that attempt to regulate arousal and anxiety (both somatic and cognitive) so that when students are pressured to perform in high stakes situations such as taking exams, they are able to demonstrate their competency. PST methods are progressive and evidence based to alleviate not only test anxiety, but anxiety in other facets of life.
TIME MANAGEMENT AND STUDY SKILLS TRAINING/WORKSHOP
ThinkOne implements evidence based strategies with individuals or groups to improve their time management and study skills. We employ solution-focused techniques, and research based PST (Psychological Skills Training) methods to motivate you to perform optimally in school. Often times, students who are underperforming academically benefit from both time management and study skills training. ThinkOne will meet students where they currently are by building from their current skill set and implementing new research-based strategies (i.e.: PST and solution-focused techniques) that lead to solutions.
EDUCATIONAL CONSULTING
Often times parents/guardians and students find they are faced with questions that they feel cannot be answered adequately by school personnel or they want an objective educated outside opinion, explanation or help understanding and communicating with school personnel. The principals of ThinkOne have over thirty-five years combined working in secondary and higher education as professors, teachers, coaches and counselors/advisors to assist you with anything from Special Education and Individualized Education Plans (IEPs), 504 plans, Response to Intervention (RTI), academic course selection and more. Let us know what is concerning you today and learn how we can help.
BLENDED FAMILIES CONSULTING AND COUNSELING

We utilize research based strategies and techniques primarily from a solution-focused brief counseling theory and systems theory base to help families function optimally. We focus on finding the best solutions together with the families and implementing the solutions and strategies instead of focusing on pathologies.
WELLNESS CONSULTING AND COACHING
Optimal wellness can be achieved when one attains balance or harmony from each area of health: physical health (exercise/fitness and nutrition), mental and emotional health, social health, and spiritual health. We work with individuals, groups and organizations to achieve optimal wellness through research driven protocols and procedures and implementation of the customized plan.
