Psychological Assessments
About our assessments
Psychological tests are written, visual, verbal or electronic evaluations administered to assess the cognitive, neurological, emotional, behavioral or personality functioning of children and adults. These types of evaluations are research based, and the individual assessment measures typically offer strong degrees of validity and reliability.
Through the use of psychological assessments, we can help clients clarify diagnoses and create more comprehensive and targeted treatment plans. These treatment plans help to ensure that the best pharmacological and therapeutic interventions are identified and utilized whenever possible.
We specialize in consulting with clients who have complicated clinical presentations or who report feeling ”stuck” in their growth and progress. In addition to pencil and paper measures, we also use state-of-the-art technologies such as the Attemo, a test that objectively measures attention and motor control that is useful in assessing for ADHD.
While many clients report similar symptoms, each person’s unique life experiences, personality, interpersonal approaches, cognitive functioning and individual perspective ultimately contribute to their resilience and the ways in which we respond to life’s ups and downs. A comprehensive assessment allows us to take all of these factors and formulate an individualized treatment plan to help our clients heal, grow and thrive.

Preparing for your first visit
Prior to the testing session, individuals should get a good night’s rest and bring snacks for breaks during testing. It is expected that parents remain in the office with their children during testing unless we have discussed and agreed to other arrangements. Should a situation arise where the individual to be tested is feeling ill or a circumstance that would hinder test results has come up, please notify us as soon as possible. If the individual is taking any new medications that we have not been informed of previously, please update us with that information.
Each assessment consists of a one-hour diagnostic evaluation, an average of three to four hours of testing, review, and analysis of test results by the Clinical Psychologist, written reports of results, and a one-hour feedback session.
