Psychological tests help in accurately diagnosing mental health conditions. This ensures that individuals receive the appropriate treatment and interventions. Many mental health treatments first require a diagnosis given by a doctorate level evaluator.

Accurate diagnosis guides accurate treatment. Our psychological evaluations provide detailed information that assist therapists and doctors to provide informed treatment.

Some clients express they have felt “stupid, crazy, or lazy” however, an evaluation with us has proven otherwise. They received clarity on their challenges and validated on their belief that something was indeed amiss. Testing can help understand your symptoms and give specific direction and hope. This is the first step to getting help.

First, you will experience an initial intake which will include clinical interviewing and gathering background information. Then you will have testing sessions which vary in length from 2-4 hours to complete the assessment battery. Some types of psychological evaluations are able to fill out computer measures at home while others are done in person. We will take breaks as needed and may have to do separate testing sessions on different days.

After the assessments are completed, we will spend a few days scoring, interpreting results, and writing the report. During this time we may do follow up phone calls to ensure accuracy or fill missing gaps. We strive to be very thorough.

Finally we will have a feedback session where we will thoroughly explain the results and diagnostic decisions and answer any questions you may have. This session typically lasts around 30-45 minutes. We include personalized recommendations and provide you with copies of the report. We help point your towards next steps for treatment, however we do not provide treatment.

The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPPA) requires mental health professionals to protect the personal health information of clients. There are some specific situations, however, in which the information of a client can be shared without their consent such as: 1) if there is suspected past or present abuse or neglect of children, elderly, or disabled individuals, 2) if there is reason to suspect a client is in danger of harming themselves or someone else, or 3) if a valid court order requires the release of information.
