Meet Dr. Terry D. Burger

Dr. Burger provides comprehensive psychological and psychoeducational evaluations for children, adolescents, and adults. Depending on the referral questions, an evaluation may address cognitive abilities, academic achievement, attention and executive functioning, memory, adaptive functioning, personality, mood, behavior, and social-emotional development. His work helps clarify concerns involving ADHD, Autism Spectrum Disorder, Specific Learning Disorder and dyslexia, Intellectual Disability, developmental conditions, and emotional or behavioral difficulties.

Evaluations that include DSM-5-TR diagnostic conclusions are completed under the clinical supervision of a licensed Health Service Provider in Psychology. The supervising psychologist reviews the evaluation findings and diagnostic formulation and co-signs the report.

Dr. Burger earned his B.A. in Psychology from Indiana University and his Ph.D. in Educational and School Psychology from Indiana State University. He completed his doctoral internship with Omaha Public Schools and is a member of the National Association of School Psychologists and the Indiana Association of School Psychologists.

His professional experience spans schools, private practice, university teaching, supervision, and psychological assessment. Dr. Burger has taught psychology and school psychology courses as an adjunct professor at Indiana University Southeast and graduate-level statistics at Indiana State University. He has also supervised practicing school psychologists, school psychology interns, and graduate students.

Through the Student Evaluation Center, Dr. Burger provides independent evaluations for individuals, families, and school districts throughout Southern Indiana and the greater Louisville and Kentuckiana area. He also serves as a contracted school psychologist for Madison Consolidated Schools. His experience in both clinical and educational settings helps him consider how psychological, developmental, and learning needs affect functioning at home, at school, at work, and in everyday life.

Dr. Burger regularly collaborates with pediatricians, psychiatrists, therapists, educators, and other professionals to develop a well-rounded understanding of each client’s strengths and needs. He is committed to providing thoughtful evaluations, clear explanations, practical recommendations, and reports that clients, families, schools, and treatment providers can readily understand and use.

A native of Indiana, Dr. Burger lives in Clark County with his wife, Autumn, and their two children. As a family, they enjoy outdoor activities, traveling, reading, attending Mass, and serving their community.
