What We Provide

Psychological assessments are tests that provide a picture of a person’s unique psychological makeup.  Assessments can provide a great deal of information, such as intellectual abilities, learning disorders, and mental health problems. They can also give insight into career aptitude, personality traits, and neuro-psychological conditions, such as dementia or brain injury.

Assessments can be used to provide recommendations for treatment, referrals, employment, and other purposes.  These tests can also help provide an accurate diagnosis, especially when there is a complex problem in which several diagnoses are possible.  This speeds up process of diagnosing a problem and providing treatment.
