Evaluations and Psychological Testing
Mood and Personality Functioning
We currently offer psychological testing for adults age 18+ using standardized measures to help identify mood disorders (depression, bipolar), anxiety disorders, trauma-related disorders, or personality disorders and provide information about a person's strengths and weaknesses and relational functioning. The cost will depend upon the total number of hours spent performing administration, scoring/interpretation and report writing, but you will be given an estimate ahead of time based upon what you are looking for.
What you can expect from the process:
Administration Appointment(s)
The initial administration appointment is estimated to take between 2-3 hours, and often a second administration appointment is scheduled (though exact timing depends upon each person’s specific questions and needs). You will be asked questions about your life and mental health during a conversational interview, you will be given a questionnaire asking about your experiences, and you may be asked to do additional tasks such as looking at pictures, drawing tasks, or other written tasks.
Scoring, Interpretation, and Report Writing
After the administration appointment(s), the psychologist will conduct scoring, interpretation, and report writing, and you will not need to be present for this. Your psychologist will create an individualized, comprehensive psychological report that includes test results, diagnostic information, and recommendations for treatment or other relevant resources.
Feedback Session
You will be provided with the comprehensive psychological report and the psychologist will review the information and discuss the findings with you. You will have a chance to ask any questions you may have. This is typically a 50-minute appointment.
