What is it?

A Psychodiagnostic Evaluation assesses a person’s specific ways of thinking, personality characteristics, and mood-related factors (e.g., depression, anxiety, etc.) that may be interfering with overall functioning. These evaluations are used to make formal mental health diagnoses using structured and evidence-based measures. Psychodiagnostic Evaluations are useful for making or clarifying psychiatric diagnoses, differentiating between diagnoses, and providing information to guide treatment planning and next steps.

What can I expect?

A Psychodiagnostic Evaluation assesses current mental health symptoms and clinical presentation in order to provide diagnostic impressions that help a person make sense of their difficulties. Based on presenting concerns, the process includes a structured clinical interview, cultural and developmental assessment, rating scales, and self-report measures. Following the evaluation, a brief (1-2 page) report is provided with diagnoses and specific treatment recommendations.

Time: Psychodiagnostic Evaluations can take anywhere from 2-4 hours, depending on the referral question and areas of concern. Reports are typically provided within 1-2 weeks following the end of the assessment process.
