About Psychological Assessment

Individual Assessment

Our psychological assessment program uses standardized tests, interviews, observation, and other tools to help better understand the strengths and challenges facing a child or adult. Assessment can help determine if a child is dealing with ADHD, if an adult has problems that can be treated by medication. It can provide information to your therapist about what might be a good direction for you to go in therapy. No one test can be relied on, and no diagnosis is perfect. Rather, we view diagnosis as adding potentially useful data to help create a picture of a client’s mental state, and to offer suggestions for growth. All testing is done by psychologists-in-training and supervised by an experienced clinical psychologist. Assessment requires several hours of time for test administration and analysis. We offer assessment on a sliding scale and our fees are very competitive.
