The Assessment Process

Psychological assessment is a technical term used to describe the in-depth process that psychologists use to determine the nature of cognitive, emotional, behavioral, interpersonal, or personality difficulties.

Clinical Framework

While I'm qualified to provide mental health diagnoses using the DSM-5 (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual), I understand that each person's experience is unique.

Understanding the continuum of mental illness and the complex overlap between diagnoses is essential to determining what someone may be dealing with regarding their mental health.

Comprehensive Understanding

I look beyond symptoms to see your complete picture, including:

  • Cultural influences

  • Developmental life stage

  • Environmental factors

  • Family dynamics

  • Personal history

  • Current life circumstances

  • Strengths

Assessment Tools

To gain deeper insight, I may use:

  • Standardized questionnaires

  • Input from trusted support people (when appropriate)

  • Clinical interviews

  • Evidence-based diagnostic frameworks

Moving Forward

The assessment process helps us:

  • Identify key areas for growth

  • Understand patterns that impact your health

  • Create a targeted treatment plan

  • Set meaningful goals for our work together
