Mental Health Screening
A mental health screening assessment gives us an overall picture of your mental and emotional health. The assessment tools we use can help identify whether there may be a mental health condition present, signifying a need for deeper inquiry.
Mental health screening can be a great first step for those who are unsure whether the problems they are facing could stem from underlying psychological factors.
Once the screening assessment is complete, your clinician will go over the results with you and answer any questions you may have.
​
If the next step in your journey includes counselling or therapy, your clinician will discuss a treatment plan with you based on information gathered during the assessment and your own personal goals and aspirations.
Psychological Assessment
This type of assessment is more in depth than a mental health screening and covers a wide range of psychological disorders that can impact mental health and well-being in the adult population.
Our first step is broad screening and an interview to consider all aspects of the person, followed by specific in-depth assessment tools that provide clinical data to aid in diagnosis and treatment planning. These assessments can evaluate the presence of mood and anxiety disorders, stress and trauma-related disorders, and much more.
Psychoeducational Assessment
Whether your child's school has recommended this assessment or you are a parent/guardian with concerns you wish to explore, a psychoeducational assessment can shed light on your child's strengths and needs when it comes to learning and navigating the school environment.
Our process involves assessment of academic achievement, intellectual abilities and other factors that may be getting in the way of your child's success. Once the assessment is complete, you will receive a detailed report that includes specific recommendations for you and your child's school to increase support and facilitate growth.
ADHD Assessment
