Psychological Evaluation

A psychological evaluation is a set of assessment procedures administered to obtain information about an individual’s unique intellectual, personality and emotional functioning. Psychological evaluations typically are quite expensive when conducted privately. However, we offer such services at a much reduced rate and with your financial needs in mind.

At the Center Clinic, almost all new patients are recommended for a psychological evaluation in order to better assess their treatment needs. Individuals may also seek psychological evaluation separately from psychotherapy services. Evaluations are conducted over a period of four to eight hours, depending on the battery of tests best suited to the individual’s presenting issues.

Benefits

There are numerous benefits to evaluations. In addition to many individuals reporting feeling validated by the results, many often say they have learned new things about themselves through the process. If the patient is in psychotherapy, at the clinic or elsewhere, the evaluation results may be used to inform the therapeutic goals and interventions.
