Question 2

What is a psychological assessment?

Accepted Answer

Psychological assessment is a clinical tool used to answer specific questions around diagnosis, daily functioning, or personality. Assessments (also called testing or evaluations) consist of standardized tests that look for patterns of behaviors, symptoms, or personality qualities. Alongside these tests, the clinician conducts an interview in which they gather information about you and your concerns to meet your specific needs.

Cost is based on the type of assessment requested and a sliding-scale fee determined by total family income and size of household.

Please call or send an inquiry and we would be happy to discuss the cost for specific testing.
