Psychological assessment can help clarify diagnoses, identify strengths and challenges, and support informed decision making in school, work, and daily life. Our assessments are designed to be thoughtful, thorough, and clinically meaningful.
Assessments may be appropriate for:
- ADHD assessment
- Autism assessment
- Learning and academic concerns
- Diagnostic clarification
- Mood, anxiety, and other mental health concerns
The specific tools used in an assessment are selected based on each individual’s needs and referral questions. We do not use one size fits all testing batteries.
What the Assessment Process Looks Like
Every assessment is a little different, but most include:
- A first appointment to talk about what’s going on and what you’re hoping to learn
- One or more testing appointments
- A review of relevant background information, such as school records or past evaluations, when needed
- Input from others involved in your care, like a parent or caregiver, when appropriate
- A written report that explains the results in clear, understandable language
- A feedback appointment where we go over the findings and discuss recommendations
Our goal is to help you better understand what’s going on and to offer clear, practical guidance about next steps.
Scope of Services
At this time, Affirming Mental Health Services offers psychological assessment services only and does not provide therapy or crisis services. When assessment is not the right fit, we are happy to help connect you with appropriate referral options whenever possible.
Looking Ahead
As the practice grows, we plan to expand into therapy services aligned with our affirming and evidence based approach. Updates will be shared as additional services become available.
