Comprehensive Psychological Evaluations

Psychological evaluations and psychotherapy serve different purposes. A psychological evaluation is designed to answer a specific clinical or legal referral question through a comprehensive assessment and written report. Unlike psychotherapy, evaluations are not intended to provide ongoing treatment, although recommendations for services may be included when appropriate.

Psychological evaluations provide an objective clinical assessment of an individual's emotional, psychological, and cognitive functioning. Whether completed to support an immigration application, clarify a diagnosis, or address a legal or clinical concern, each evaluation is conducted with compassion, clinical precision, and attention to detail.
