Psychological Evaluations

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a developmental disorder that affects social interaction, communication, and learning. Autism symptoms generally appear in the first few years of life, however, it can be diagnosed at any time. We are skilled at diagnosing autism spectrum disorder in a wide range of ages from toddlers to adults. We use a variety of assessments and tools to gather as much information as possible and make an accurate diagnosis. We use evidence-based and gold standard assessments. There is a lot of support available for those with ASD, and most services require a formal diagnosis.

You may have been told by your child's pediatrician that you should get your child tested for autism. Or you may have been searching on social media and wondered if you have autism. It truly is a spectrum, and it is important to seek a qualified, experienced professional to conduct your testing and give you an accurate diagnosis. As there are many disorders with overlapping symptoms, we believe it is important to test for a wide range of disorders as part of the evaluation.

After your evaluation, you will receive a lengthy report with scores and summary of all the information collected. You will receive the results and specific recommendations and accommodations needed to give you the support you need and achieve emotional well-being. You will be connected with resources for treatment. During this feedback session, you will be able to ask clarifying questions and receive guidance.

Have you wondered if you have some kind of mental disorder, but you don't know what it could be? Our psychiatric evaluation is a very in depth service that tests for a variety of disorders including attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), major depressive disorder (MDD), obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD), post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), bipolar disorder, personality disorders, and more.

These are all very complex disorders, some with overlapping symptoms, that require an experienced professional to identify. These are disorders that can significantly affect your daily life and ability to function in work and relationships. We aim to help you seek clarity and relief from symptoms you may be experiencing. With an accurate diagnosis, you can receive accurate treatment.

Learning disabilities affect how your brain processes information. There is a wide variety of learning disabilities in reading (dyslexia), writing, and math (dyscalculia). Often, parents of children or college students come to us because they or their child is struggling in school. They need help, but first they need a diagnosis.

We have a variety of assessment tools and techniques to diagnose learning disabilities and help you get started on receiving the accommodations and support you need. With our evaluations, you will not only receive a detailed report of results and diagnoses, but you will also receive a list of accommodations recommended for you to make your school experience more accessible.

Many people wonder if they or their child have attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder. Especially with the rise of awareness about this disorder, more and more people are seeking testing for ADHD. Often, people will go to their primary care doctor or therapist and fill out a short questionnaire. While this may clue you in to a possible diagnosis, it can be invaluable to seek an in-depth evaluation from a licensed psychologist.

During your evaluation, the professional will conduct testing and thorough interviews. You will have a follow-up session where the psychologist will share your results and give you a copy of their in-depth report and conclusions. This report will include evidence-based treatments and give you guidance on how to receive support.

For some, including students, a letter can be included that can be used to seek accommodations in schooling/tests.

We do not offer adhd-only evaluations as we believe that it is important to rule out other diagnoses that could have similar symptoms. Those wanting to be tested for adhd should schedule a Psychiatric Evaluation.

Before being recommended to serve a mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, some candidates will be required to complete a psychological evaluation. We are able to work closely with church leaders and hopeful missionaries to complete these mental health evaluations.
