asked questions
Answers to the most frequently asked questions.
What is a psychological assessment?
A structured evaluation of cognitive, emotional, or academic functioning using interviews, tests, and observations.
Who benefits from an assessment?
Children/adults with learning, behavioral, or mental health concerns, or those seeking diagnostic clarity.
How should I prepare?
Bring relevant records (medical, educational) and ensure adequate rest. For children, explain the process as 'understanding how you learn.'
Are results confidential?

How do I book an appointment?

A Note on Diagnosis
Assessments compare symptoms to DSM-V-TR criteria, but not all difficulties indicate a disorder.
Accurate diagnosis relies on client-provided evidence (e.g., school reports, medical history). Our goal is to guide support—not labels.
Licensed Practice
All evaluations are conducted by PSI-registered psychologists using approved tools (tests and protocols).
