Psychological/Neuropsychological testing can provide the data necessary for clinicians to diagnose conditions that are challenging to accurately identify with just a clinical interview. Psychological/Neuropsychological testing can help diagnose mental health conditions such as anxiety, depression, ADHD, personality disorders, and more.

Different tests can assess different area, such as cognitive skills, emotional regulation, social functioning, and more. This information can help with the development of an individualized treatment plan that addresses the individual’s specific needs and strengths.

Psychological/Neuropsychological testing can help determine the severity of symptoms, functional impairment, and subjective distress

Most of the time completion of psychological/neuropsychological testing can help individuals gain a better understanding of their own strengths and weaknesses, providing additional self-awareness that may assist in personal growth and development.

All patients need this completed.

If legal authority of a minor patient is contested (divorce/separation/foster care/temporary guardianship), please include documentation of legal authority when sending the completed intake forms to our office.

If my child is being tested, do they need to attend the clinical interview?

Yes, it is essential that they attend the clinical interview as behavioral observations made by the clinician are a necessary part of determining medical necessity and selecting the appropriate testing.

How long does test administration take?

Test administration time is determined by many factors like age, cognitive abilities, and/or symptomatic concerns. Every patient’s testing orders are tailored to their individual needs. The clinician will discuss total administration time with you at the clinical interview.
