Why Get Psychological Testing?

People seek psychological testing for many reasons, including:

• Clarifying a diagnosis such as ADHD, autism, learning disabilities, anxiety, or mood disorders.
• Understanding strengths and challenges in thinking, memory, attention, or emotional functioning.
• Guiding treatment or educational planning to ensure therapy or school accommodations are tailored to the individual’s needs.
• Providing documentation for schools, physicians, disability services, or workplace accommodations.
• Finding clarity and peace of mind when something doesn’t feel right, but the cause is still uncertain.

What to Expect During Psychological Testing

We strive to make the testing process thorough, professional, and comfortable. Here’s what clients can expect:
1. Initial Consultation
• A meeting to discuss concerns, background history, and goals for testing.
• Together, we determine which types of tests will be most helpful.
2. Testing Sessions
• Testing may take place over one or more sessions, depending on what is being evaluated.
• Assessments can include questionnaires, interviews, problem-solving tasks, and computerized or paper-based tests.
• Most sessions last 1–3 hours, with breaks as needed.
3. Scoring and Interpretation
• After testing, your clinician carefully reviews results, interprets findings, and compares them to age-based norms.
• This helps form an accurate understanding of cognitive abilities, emotional functioning, or behavioral patterns.
4. Comprehensive Report
• You will receive a written report that includes test results, a clear explanation of the findings, diagnoses (if appropriate), and practical recommendations.
5. Feedback Session
• We will meet with you to go over the results in an understandable, meaningful way.
• You’ll have an opportunity to ask questions and discuss next steps for therapy, school, medical care, or lifestyle adjustments.
