Why? It strengthens therapeutic process
The purpose of assessment is to offer a clear, organized, and concise overview of an individual's current psychological functioning, encompassing cognitive abilities and emotional experiences. A clinical assessment, which includes a diagnosis and treatment plan, can be beneficial for those facing behavioral, social, or emotional challenges (such as anxiety or depression) that impact their social, cognitive, or academic performance. Due to the intricate nature of client issues in therapy, thorough assessment evaluations are both practical and effective.

Career Assessment: Realizing Your Potential
We offer flexible online assessments to help you navigate career planning, professional transitions, or maintaining your current role. A career assessment can indicate which jobs align with your interests and skills or identify careers you may excel in. There are numerous career assessment tools available online, some at no cost while others require payment. It's important to note that while free tests may be quick and convenient, they often lack scientific validation. Our team utilizes validated assessments, including (1) interest inventories, (2) motivation and values inventories, (3) personality tests, and (4) ability tests.

Educational Assessment: Paving the Way for Success
If you or a family member has been referred for a psychoeducational assessment, you may have questions about what to anticipate. Typically, a thorough evaluation aims to clarify an individual's strengths and weaknesses while providing an diagnosis. The process starts with a clinical interview and involves various psychological tests based on the evaluation's purpose. These may include assessments of emotional well-being, intelligence (IQ) tests, academic achievement and learning style evaluations, tests for potential neurological damage, and assessments for specific issues and their severity. The results from these assessments are compiled and analyzed by our psychologists to create a comprehensive understanding of the individual's current functioning. This information helps us provide tailored recommendations and strategies to enhance learning, performance, and support vocational and career decisions.
