What Should You Expect During Your First Session?

Our in-depth evaluations require 2-3 appointments.

-First appointment is an online intake where our psychologists will gather your thorough history to determine how to proceed with the evaluation process.

After the first appointment, you will be sent an email requesting clinical information via online questionnaires that you can fill out at home or from our office. These questionnaires are critical for our evaluation process to establish or rule out a diagnosis and provide individualized recommendations.

-Second and third appointments are for testing. These appointments are typically scheduled together after you have met with our psychologist for the intake. During these appointments, you may also be asked to complete clinical rating scales.

Our testing sessions last anywhere between 1-2 hours. They are scheduled once a week, but sometimes we may schedule a testing session more than once a week.

After all testing sessions are completed and we have gathered all necessary clinical rating scales, medical history, and clinical documentation, we begin to write the psychological report.

-The psychological evaluation report is an important document that includes a snapshot of our findings, diagnoses, recommendations, and results.
