Frequently Asked Questions

  • A psychological evaluation typically can take 6 weeks to complete from intake to feedback. Sometimes that can be shorter or longer, depending on the complexity of the situation and how quickly forms and other information are submitted.

  • To prepare for a psychological evaluation, the ideal steps include the following:

    • Take note of what kinds of symptoms you're noticing, and when they occur.

    • Have an understanding of your current daily habits, routines, and self-care.

    • Contact your insurance company to clarify your benefits and potential coverage.

    • Let your parents and a close friend know that you might do this, and that they may be asked for their experience of you.

    • If testing is for ADHD or a learning disability, gather childhood school records such as report cards and school reports, if possible.

    • Be prepared to take a full day off of work for in-person testing, and possibly a half-day for the intake.

    • Know that your honesty and openness is essential to an accurate and full picture of you, and is invaluable to this process.

  • At the end of an evaluation process, you can expect to have a written report that includes all the pieces of information necessary to understand what may be going on. That includes your history, the results of your testing, any diagnoses that may be appropriate, as well as recommendations and considerations.

    You'll have an understanding of why you are experiencing your current symptoms, as well as what you can do about them. Recommendations are organized based on medical, mental health treatment, occupational, social, and home domains so you can have many tools and directions. The feedback session will go over the results, how to navigate the report, and some of the primary recommendations to focus most on.

    You are not guaranteed to receive a diagnosis, or to be diagnosed with what you believe you may have. Many conditions and typical life stressors can show up in someone's life similarly, and feel disruptive or distressing. Your results will be tailored to you, taking into account all of the factors that can impact what you are currently noticing.

Start making change

Assessment can be daunting— it can be hard to find an in-network provider, and many assessors have waitlists like us. It’s possible to start with therapy and build insight and strategies even before completing an assessment.

Our clinicians offer a neurodivergent-affirming approach that bolsters self-acceptance. You can experiment with strategies to find what works better for your life right now. Then, you can also complete an assessment for deeper insight and directions to continue building off your therapy work.
