Psychological evaluations focus primarily on behavioral and emotional functioning. It involves assessing mental health and clarifying diagnoses for depression, anxiety, and other psychological disorders, as well as providing appropriate recommendations for treatment and management.

How Psychological Testing Can Help?

Through a structured and evidence-based approach, psychological assessments can help reach an accurate diagnosis and treatment plan, as well as, empower individuals on their journey towards improved mental health and well-being.

Understand yourself better

Through standardized tests, interviews, and observation, psychological testing can identify underlying issues, such as mood disorders, that may be contributing to the challenges you’re experiencing.

Guide treatment decisions

The analysis of the results will allow an in-depth understanding of your symptoms, facilitating the development of targeted intervention strategies.

Track your progress

It can be also beneficial to track the progress of therapeutic interventions over time, ensuring that the treatment plan meets your specific needs or signaling when it is necessary to make further adjustments.

What to Expect During an Evaluation

We'll start with a thorough interview to assess your current state and review your medical, psychological, and social history. You may be asked to bring a family member or friend who can provide additional information to the interview.

After the initial interview, you will be given a series of standardized tests that best suit your specific situation. These tests typically involve oral questions, paper and pencil, computers, the manipulation of materials such as blocks and puzzles, and other procedures. 
​
After we analyze all of the information and integrate it into a comprehensive report, we will meet again for a follow-up appointment. We will go over the results together and share our recommendations for further examination and treatment plan.
