Unlock Insights And Growth: The Power Of Psychological Assessments
Psychological assessments are an important tool that is utilized in a clinical setting to guide treatment planning and highlight strengths in an individual. Assessments are also great way to track progress during therapy and can help both the client and clinician learn about impactful patterns and how to optimize and improve overall wellbeing.
Psychological assessments are helpful for:
- Evaluation for depression, anxiety, and bipolar disorder
- Determine if psychiatric illnesses are present including: obsessive compulsive disorder, oppositional/defiant disorder, conduct disorder, and other psychological/psychiatric conditions.
Findings from your results will be discussed in detail along with recommendations for treatment and follow up.
-Have you found yourself struggling with symptoms of anxiety and/or depression?
-Have you noticed a recent change in mood or behavior?
-Are you interested in learning more about yourself and how you think about or relate to others?
-Are you and your partner looking to understand more about your relationship patterns or dynamics?
Assessments Available
Anxiety
The U.S. Preventative Services Task Force is recommending all adults ages 19-64 to be screened for anxiety as a part of their annual physical. This assessment screens for anxiety based off diagnostic criteria for general anxiety disorder in the DSM-IV.
Burnout
Assessing for burnout measures exhaustion (feelings of being overextended and exhausted by one’s work), cynicism (indifference or distant attitude towards your work), and professional efficacy (satisfaction with past and present accomplishments and an individual’s expectations of continued effectiveness at work).
Depression
Gottman Assessment

Personality Assessment
Other Assessments
Other assessments that are not listed may be available. Please contact us or speak with your therapist to inquire about a specific assessment.
Mind and Body
I believe in supporting the whole person, mind and body. That’s why I recommend innovative tools like Genomind, which offers genetic insights to guide mental health treatment, and Viome, which provides gut health testing to personalize nutrition and wellness. Research continues to show the strong connection between the gut and brain, and psychobiotics, probiotics that specifically influence mood and cognitive function, are emerging as a powerful way to support both mental clarity and emotional balance. Together, these approaches help clients better understand the unique interplay between biology, psychology, and lifestyle, creating more effective and sustainable paths to healing. Learn More Here
Fees
My Fees, which include an evaluation to discuss which assessment is necessary, administration of the assessment, and time to discuss results. In many cases, these assessments are available for reimbursement if you have out of network coverage with your insurance. We can discuss any payment and insurance questions when you call.

I recommend Reimbursify to make it easier for clients to get reimbursed through their out-of-network insurance benefits.
