1. Psychological Assessment - Adult (18+)
Purpose
This assessment is designed to help identify and better understand mental health concerns such as anxiety, depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), or trauma-related difficulties. Through a combination of questionnaires and a clinical interview, we gather a clear picture of your experiences and challenges. The results allow us to provide personalized recommendations, which may include treatment options, coping strategies, and referrals for additional support. The goal is to give you greater clarity about your mental health and guide you toward the most helpful next steps.
What to Expect

Questionnaires – You’ll complete some forms to share background information.
Interview – You’ll meet with a clinician for about 2 hours to talk through your concerns.

2. Psychoeducational Assessment - Adult (16+)
Ensure you have eaten beforehand and bring snacks/lunch and drinks, so you are prepared to do testing for several hours. The testing takes an average of 4-5 hours, depending on the client. Please also ensure that you do not use your phone or devices during the assessment as this may serve as a distraction. If you are currently taking any ADHD medication, we kindly ask that you do not take it on the day of your assessment. This helps us gain a more accurate understanding of your baseline functioning.
You will receive some questionnaires to complete throughout the assessment process. You will be meeting with the psychometrist on the day of your assessment. The assessment is conducted by a team, including psychometrists (i.e., the examiner), psychological associates, and a psychologist. With your consent, the assessment will be video recorded to assist the team with scoring, report writing, and allow the psychologist to observe you directly.
The virtual clinical interview(s) will take place about 2 weeks after the testing is finished. You will be asked some questions about symptoms and history. During the time that your results are being analyzed, you may be asked to complete additional measures. All measures and forms must be submitted before the feedback session. The team works together to synthesize the report.
About 3 weeks after the clinical interview, once we receive the last piece of information from you, your virtual feedback appointment will take place. During this appointment, the clinician will review the report, results, and recommendations, as well as any diagnoses that were made. The report will be sent to you 5 days after the feedback session.
