Psychological Testing

Psychological evaluations typically consist of a series of tests that help determine the correct diagnosis for mental health symptoms and disorders. The results of the evaluation allow you and your mental health provider and/ or medication management provider to determine the appropriate course of treatment. 

During testing, a licensed psychologist typically uses a variety of tests and behavior rating scales as part of the evaluation, in addition to an interview.

The evaluation process includes comprehensive feedback and a report with findings and recommendations.
