Psychological Testing

Psychological testing offers comprehensive insights into an individual’s cognitive, emotional, intellectual, and behavioral functioning. This process involves the administration of standardized tests to assist with diagnostic clarification and to inform individualized treatment recommendations. Services are available for clients from school age through adulthood.

The evaluation process begins with an intake interview, typically lasting one hour, during which a detailed history is obtained. Clients are encouraged to provide any relevant supporting documentation, such as report cards, standardized test results, medical records, previous evaluations, or court documents, to assist in the assessment process. Self-report rating scales may also be administered as part of the evaluation. The testing appointment will be scheduled following the intake interview, with the duration of direct testing varying based on the referral questions and presenting concerns. After all testing is completed, the evaluator will prepare a comprehensive report and review the results, feedback, and recommendations with the client during a one-hour follow-up session, typically scheduled two to three weeks after the testing appointment.
