Assessments are
Targeted & Broad
When seeking an assessment, you likely have some ideas about what is most impacting your functioning and you may have some certain diagnostic conditions in mind. A psychodiagnostic assessment with me will be both targeted in terms of assessing the concerns you suspect and broad in terms of considering an array of overlapping conditions. My goal is to be thorough to create well informed recommendations for your next steps moving forward.
Detailed
An assessment includes a thorough investigation of your functioning through interview, objective questionnaires, and document review (of past assessments or relevant medical reports). This information is then used to create a detailed report outlining strengths and areas of concerns, including any diagnosis that is appropriate, and recommendations for addressing those challenges.
Solution Focused
Whether the assessment results indicate you have many, one, or no diagnoses, the report will include recommendations about what is likely to best help address the concerns you have been experiencing. Recommendations often include suggestions for specific forms of therapy, pharmacological interventions with your family doc or a psychiatrist, and/or accommodations at work/school.
