Families do not usually arrive with a diagnosis in hand, just a worry that something is off. Core Spring's Menomonee Falls anxiety evaluations turn that into real answers, for children, teens, and adults. No referral needed to reach out.
We look at the real shape of the anxiety, the worry, panic, social fear, tension, avoidance, racing thoughts, and lost sleep, and at how it interferes day to day. When it overlaps with other concerns, a broader evaluation gives the fuller answer. Each evaluation in Menomonee Falls begins with a clinical interview, then builds out with targeted measures and cognitive screening. When anxiety overlaps with other concerns, a comprehensive neuropsychological evaluation becomes the right next step.
A child might worry far more than expected, cling at drop-off, complain of stomachaches, or struggle to handle small changes.
A teen might deal with social anxiety, panic, academic stress, perfectionism, sensory overwhelm, or thoughts and feelings that get overwhelming fast.
An adult might face chronic worry, racing thoughts at night, disrupted sleep, panic episodes, or trouble functioning in work, relationships, or daily life.
Your evaluation begins with a one-hour clinical interview where your psychologist gathers a thorough history of your emotional experiences, from childhood through your current daily life. This conversation helps identify anxiety patterns, triggers, and how symptoms are affecting your functioning, so the right assessments can be selected.
Based on your clinical interview, your psychologist selects a personalized battery of anxiety and emotional functioning assessments. Testing involves 2 to 6 hours of in-person evaluation over one to two days. You will also be sent home with self-report questionnaires, and someone close to you can complete their own questionnaire if they choose. If your psychologist identifies signs of other conditions during the process (such as ADHD, depression, or trauma-related concerns), those areas are screened for as well.
All testing data, clinical observations, and questionnaire results are compiled into a detailed diagnostic report. Any co-occurring conditions identified during the evaluation are fully documented so you leave with a clear, complete understanding of what is driving your symptoms.
Approximately two to three weeks after testing, you return for a feedback session. Your psychologist walks through the diagnosis and provides individualized recommendations: coping strategies for home and work, therapy options (such as CBT or other evidence-based approaches), medication guidance if applicable, and next steps tailored to your situation.
If anxiety is causing consistent avoidance of activities, sleep disruption, declining grades, social withdrawal, physical complaints, or emotional reactions that seem out of proportion, it may be more than situational stress. A professional evaluation at Core Spring Diagnostics can determine whether clinical anxiety is present and what supports would help.
The evaluation provides a clear diagnostic picture that helps treatment providers, including prescribers, make informed decisions about intervention. While Core Spring Diagnostics does not prescribe medication, the detailed findings and recommendations in the report support collaboration with psychiatrists or pediatricians who do.
Avoidance is one of the most common behavioral responses to anxiety. Individuals may avoid specific situations, social interactions, academic tasks, or places that trigger anxiety. The evaluation at Core Spring Diagnostics captures avoidance patterns through clinical interviewing and rating scales, and recommendations address both the avoidance and the underlying anxiety.
When anxiety is pervasive and affects multiple areas of life, the evaluation maps how it shows up across settings, including school, work, relationships, sleep, and physical health. The cognitive and executive function baseline captures the cognitive impact. Recommendations are individualized to address the specific pattern and severity.
Yes. The written report is designed to be shared with therapists, schools, pediatricians, psychiatrists, and other care providers. It includes clear diagnostic conclusions and specific recommendations that support coordinated, consistent care across settings.
The evaluation report includes recommendations for therapy (such as CBT or exposure-based approaches), school accommodations, coping strategies, and lifestyle adjustments. The feedback session helps families create a concrete plan. For broader concerns, Core Spring Diagnostics can expand the evaluation into a comprehensive neuropsychological assessment.
