Maybe you look completely put together on the outside while a constant hum of worry runs underneath. Maybe you have called yourself a worrier for so long that you assume this is just who you are. Our Anxiety Evaluations in Shorewood, WI look past the calm surface at what is really going on. Reaching out takes no referral.
Every Anxiety Evaluation in Shorewood is anchored by a baseline of cognitive and executive function, then extended with anxiety and emotional measures chosen for your particular concerns. The same licensed psychologist stays with the process from start to finish, watching for the related concerns that anxiety tends to bring quietly along with it.
In children, anxiety frequently surfaces physically, through stomachaches, headaches, and difficulty settling at bedtime. You may notice clinginess, real distress around separation, and avoidance of school or activities, along with perfectionism and outsized reactions to everyday bumps in the road.
For teens, the picture can include ongoing worry, social anxiety, and steady withdrawal from what they used to handle. Irritability, difficulty concentrating, and physical tension are common, often paired with a relentless inner critic that refuses to give them a break.
Adults often live with a steady undercurrent of worry, thoughts that will not slow, and real trouble letting the body relax or the mind rest. Tension, a racing heartbeat, and thin sleep tend to follow, along with the exhausting feeling of always being poised for whatever comes next.
Your evaluation gets underway with an hour long clinical interview, during which your psychologist assembles a thorough history of your emotional world, from your earliest years up to your life right now. This helps clarify your anxiety patterns, what sets them off, and how they shape your functioning, so the assessments we choose truly fit.
With the interview as a guide, your psychologist selects a personalized battery of anxiety and emotional functioning assessments. Expect roughly 2 to 6 hours of in person testing spread over one to two days. Self report questionnaires go home with you, someone close may complete one of their own, and if ADHD, depression, or trauma related signs emerge, we screen those too.
All of it, the testing data, the clinical observations, and the questionnaire results, comes together in a detailed diagnostic report. Whatever co occurring conditions we found are documented clearly, so you finish with a complete and honest sense of what lies beneath your symptoms.
Around two to three weeks after testing, you return for a feedback session. Your psychologist walks you through the diagnosis and shares individualized recommendations: coping strategies for home and work, therapy paths such as CBT or other evidence based methods, medication guidance if it is warranted, and next steps tailored to you.
No, it is not. You never require a referral to be seen at Core Spring Diagnostics. Feel free to contact us directly, for whatever reason brings you, and begin when you are ready.
It brings together a clinical interview, a cognitive and executive function baseline, and specific anxiety and emotional measures, along with screening for related concerns like attention, mood, and trauma, all in the hands of one psychologist.

Yes. Our evaluations cover children, teens, and adults, and we tailor both the approach and the questions to each stage of development and each unique person.
