Psychological Assessments

Psychological Assessments

A psychological assessment uses clinical interviewing and standardized tests to evaluate cognitive, behavioral, and emotional functioning, as well as intellectual abilities, personality, and psychopathology.

Common reasons for referral include assessment for ADHD, ODD, autism, PTSD, mood disorders, and personality disorders, as well as intellectual disability, behavioral issues, and learning difficulties.

Psychological evaluations can be used for diagnostic clarification and to aid in treatment planning.

How A Psychological Assessment Near Me Can Be Helpful:

• Obtain diagnostic clarification for clients who present with symptoms that have unclear etiology to inform therapeutic and psychiatric intervention (e.g., anxiety/ADHD, bipolar/BPD, autism/social anxiety).

• Help clinicians formulate a comprehensive treatment plan that takes into account cognitive and psychological strengths and weaknesses, as well as other psychosocial factors.

• The standardized assessment provides documentation that will help qualify clients for services such as ABA therapy, special education, academic accommodations, and disability benefits.
