Maybe your chest tightens for no clear reason, or you notice your heart racing in a quiet room and cannot talk yourself down. Maybe your child comes home with a stomachache almost every school day. Our Anxiety Evaluations in Glendale, WI look closely at what your body and mind are doing and why. No referral is needed to begin.
Each Anxiety Evaluation in Glendale opens with a baseline look at cognitive and executive function, the foundation we build everything else on, then folds in anxiety and emotional measures chosen for your situation. One licensed psychologist carries the whole process, from that first conversation to the final feedback, and screens along the way for concerns that often ride alongside anxiety.
Younger children often carry anxiety in their bodies, with frequent stomachaches, headaches, or trouble falling asleep. You might see clinginess, separation fears at drop off, or a child who avoids school and activities. Small setbacks can trigger reactions that feel far bigger than the moment.
In teens, anxiety can look like constant worry, social nervousness, or steady avoidance of things they used to manage. Watch for irritability, trouble concentrating, physical tension, and a harsh inner voice that criticizes nearly everything they do.
Adults often describe a low hum of worry that never fully quiets, racing thoughts, and difficulty relaxing or sleeping. The body keeps score too, with muscle tension and a fast heartbeat, alongside a sense of always bracing for whatever might go wrong next.
We begin with an hour long clinical interview in which your psychologist gathers a full history of your emotional life, from early childhood through your present routine. Talking it through this way surfaces your anxiety patterns, the triggers behind them, and how symptoms touch your functioning, which points us toward the right assessments.
Guided by that interview, your psychologist assembles a personalized battery of anxiety and emotional functioning measures. Testing usually runs 2 to 6 hours across one to two days. You take home self report questionnaires, and someone close to you may fill out their own if they wish. If signs of ADHD, depression, or trauma related concerns appear, those areas get screened as well.
Every piece, the test data, the clinical observations, and the questionnaire results, is drawn together into a detailed diagnostic report. Anything co occurring that we identified is documented plainly, so you walk away with a complete and honest understanding of what is driving how you feel.
Roughly two to three weeks later, you come back for a feedback session. Your psychologist talks through the findings and offers individualized guidance: coping strategies for home and work, therapy options such as CBT or other evidence based approaches, medication guidance if it applies, and next steps shaped around your life.
No. A referral is never required to be seen at Core Spring Diagnostics. You are welcome to contact us directly, for any reason at all, and start whenever you are ready.
It combines a clinical interview, a cognitive and executive function baseline, and targeted anxiety and emotional measures, plus screening for related concerns like attention, mood, and trauma. One psychologist handles all of it.
