When a Psychological Evaluation Is Needed
Families and adults often reach out when they notice:
-
Persistent anxiety, worry, irritability, or fear
-
Mood swings, sadness, depression, or loss of motivation
-
Behavioral concerns at school or home
-
Difficulty coping with stress or life transitions

Social withdrawal, isolation, or peer conflict
-
Trauma-related symptoms or emotional reactivity
-
Executive functioning challenges affecting daily life
-
Uncertainty about whether symptoms reflect ADHD, anxiety, depression, autism, or another concern

Need for documentation for school accommodations or workplace support
A psychological evaluation helps make sense of symptoms and guides the right treatment or educational plan.

Psychological Evaluations vs. Psychoeducational Evaluations
Many families are unsure which type of evaluation they need.
We help you decide by explaining the differences:
-
Psychological Evaluation
Focuses on emotional, social, behavioral, and mental-health functioning.
Used to diagnose anxiety, depression, OCD, trauma, behavioral concerns, etc. -
Psychoeducational Evaluation
Focuses on learning, cognitive functioning, and academic performance.
Used to diagnose dyslexia, ADHD, learning disabilities, and processing issues.
Most clients receive one primary evaluation, but we can combine both when needed.
