Psychological Assessment

Psychological evaluations are diagnostic assessments conducted by doctoral-level licensed psychologists who compile their findings in a written report. Psychological evaluations are tailored to address specific questions about a client's cognitive, emotional, and behavioral or personality functioning. In some cases, a comprehensive psychological evaluation is requested for clients who present with long-standing or difficult-to-treat mental illness in order to provide the referring clinician greater insight into the complexities of particular dynamics, or to serve as 'second opinion' with regard to treatment planning.
