Perhaps your child washes long after their hands are clean, or you are the adult who checks the stove three, four, five times and still cannot trust the memory. The relief each ritual promises never lasts, and the loops keep costing you time. OCD Testing in Hartford, WI with Core Spring Diagnostics is a careful, individualized assessment that finally makes sense of the pattern and what relieves it. You can contact us directly, with no referral needed.
Each assessment starts from a baseline of cognitive and executive function and is then built around the exact obsessions and compulsions you bring through the door. The same licensed psychologist guides you from that first conversation to the closing feedback session, with no part of the work passed to anyone else. We rely on structured, OCD specific measures and deliberately screen for the conditions that keep OCD company, including anxiety, depression, tics, and ADHD.
In younger children, look for tasks redone until they feel correct, hand washing tied to a fear of germs, and a constant hunger for reassurance. A broken routine can spark surprising distress, objects get lined up with care, and ordinary worries swell far out of proportion.
A teen with OCD may burn hours on rituals that crowd out sleep and schoolwork, while carrying intrusive thoughts they rarely say aloud. Counting, silent reviewing, and avoiding triggers become routine, and secrecy grows around behaviors they feel powerless to quit.
Adults often describe cycles of checking, washing, counting, or chasing symmetry and a just right feeling, plus hidden mental rituals and steady avoidance. You may lose real stretches of the day to routines you know are excessive yet cannot seem to set down.
The evaluation begins with about an hour of clinical conversation. Your psychologist puts together a detailed history of the obsessions and compulsions, looking at their onset, the ways they have evolved, and how heavily they weigh on your time and your mood. That exchange settles which OCD specific measures will read the situation most clearly.
Your psychologist then coordinates a personalized battery that brings together a cognitive and executive function baseline and structured OCD specific and emotional measures. The hands on testing tends to occupy 2 to 6 hours over one or two days. Questionnaires go to you, and for children and teens they also reach the caregivers and teachers familiar with the patterns.
Every testing result and clinical note is organized into a detailed report describing the nature and severity of the OCD, the obsessions and compulsions at its center, and any co-occurring conditions found during the evaluation, such as anxiety, depression, tics, or ADHD.
Two to three weeks or so after testing ends, you sit down for a feedback session. Your psychologist reviews the findings with you and provides individualized recommendations, including evidence based therapy such as exposure and response prevention (ERP), support at school or work, and specific next steps selected for your situation.
No, and you never will. Core Spring Diagnostics does not ask for a referral before seeing you. Get in touch on your own, for whatever reason, and we coordinate with your other providers only at your request.
The evaluation moves through a clinical interview and full history, a cognitive and executive function baseline, structured OCD specific measures, and screening for conditions that often accompany OCD, such as anxiety, depression, tics, and ADHD. A single psychologist carries out every part and then explains the results.
OCD is defined by intrusive, unwanted obsessions and the compulsions used to relieve them, which become time consuming and distressing in a way ordinary neatness, caution, or worry never does. A formal evaluation draws that distinction and clarifies what will genuinely make a difference.
Absolutely. We assess children, teens, and adults, tuning the process and the questions to each developmental stage and gathering input from caregivers and teachers for our younger clients.
Anxiety, depression, tics or Tourette’s, and ADHD commonly appear alongside OCD. Because screening for them is built into every evaluation, your recommendations account for the entire person and not one isolated concern.
You can begin by calling Core Spring Diagnostics at (414) 387-2100 or submitting a consultation request through the website. No referral is required, and we will help you outline the evaluation path best matched to your concerns.
