When anxiety is wearing down sleep, focus, health, and relationships, clarity is the thing that finally lets you move forward. Core Spring's Hales Corners evaluations bring it, for children, teens, and adults. Reach out directly, no referral needed.
We look at the worry, panic, social fear, tension, avoidance, racing thoughts, and disrupted sleep, and at how anxiety interferes with daily life. Screening for what often travels alongside, like ADHD, depression, or trauma, is built in from the start. For Hales Corners families, the process is individualized rather than locked into a fixed number of hours or sessions, with screening for comorbidities such as ADHD, depression, or trauma built in from the start.
A child might show constant worry and fear, avoid certain situations, get stomachaches or headaches, refuse school, or struggle to separate from a caregiver.
A teen might face social anxiety and panic, buckle under academic pressure and perfectionism, avoid school, or run on racing thoughts they cannot quiet.
An adult might live with chronic worry and tension, lose sleep, hit panic episodes, or struggle to show up fully at work or in relationships.
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.
A screening uses a brief questionnaire to flag potential concerns. A comprehensive evaluation at Core Spring Diagnostics includes clinical interviewing, cognitive and executive function testing, validated anxiety measures, behavior rating scales from multiple sources, and screening for co-occurring conditions. The result is a detailed diagnostic picture with actionable recommendations.
Children may express anxiety through stomachaches, clinginess, school refusal, sleep problems, or emotional meltdowns. Adults more often report racing thoughts, chronic tension, work-related stress, sleep disruption, and avoidance. Core Spring Diagnostics evaluates both populations with age-appropriate tools and clinical interviewing.
Yes. Obsessive-compulsive patterns, including repetitive thoughts and compulsive behaviors, are assessed as part of the broader anxiety evaluation. Core Spring Diagnostics uses clinical interviewing and validated measures to identify OCD-related symptoms and distinguish them from other anxiety presentations.
The psychologist reviews all findings, explains any diagnoses, and walks through individualized recommendations. It is your opportunity to ask questions, discuss concerns, and plan next steps. Parents, partners, or other support people are welcome to attend.
The report includes diagnostic findings and specific recommendations that schools use to develop or update IEPs and 504 plans. Accommodations may include extended time, quiet testing environments, counselor check-ins, flexible attendance policies, and modified participation expectations.
Yes. Core Spring Diagnostics evaluates children across all ages using developmentally appropriate measures. For younger children, the evaluation relies more heavily on caregiver input, observation, and structured play-based assessment to capture anxiety patterns.
