Some minds never quite power down. If yours or your child's runs on worry, replays every conversation, or braces for the worst, an evaluation can finally name it and point to what helps. Core Spring evaluates children, teens, and adults in Racine, and you can reach out directly, no referral needed.
We look closely at the real shape of the anxiety, from constant worry and panic to social fear, physical tension, avoidance, and sleep that never comes easily, and at how it interferes with daily life. Because anxiety so often hides behind other things, screening for what overlaps is built in. Anxiety symptoms often overlap with attention, mood, and trauma-related concerns, so screening for comorbidities is built in. When the picture is broader, the comprehensive neuropsychological evaluation is usually the right next step.
Kids who get stomachaches before school, refuse to leave a parent’s side, seek constant reassurance, melt down over homework mistakes, or can’t fall asleep because the worries won’t stop.
Teens who dread group projects, replay social interactions for hours, push perfectionism into burnout, freeze on tests, or feel panic without an obvious trigger.
Adults whose mind never quite shuts off, who lie awake replaying the day, carry chronic tension, dread certain meetings, or feel anxiety quietly running every decision they make.
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.
One licensed psychologist owns the entire evaluation from clinical interview through testing, scoring, report writing, and the feedback session. There are no handoffs to other providers. This ensures the psychologist interpreting results has full context from every stage of the process.
Yes. Anxiety and depression frequently co-occur and can amplify each other’s symptoms. Core Spring Diagnostics screens for both during every anxiety evaluation. If depression is identified, it is documented in the report with individualized recommendations that address both conditions.
Teen anxiety often presents as social withdrawal, perfectionism, academic pressure, panic episodes, racing thoughts, avoidance of certain situations, sleep disruption, and irritability. These patterns may be dismissed as normal teen stress, but a professional evaluation can determine whether clinical anxiety is present.
Anxiety can interfere with test-taking, classroom participation, concentration, attendance, and the ability to complete assignments. Some students avoid school altogether. The evaluation at Core Spring Diagnostics identifies how anxiety affects academic functioning and provides recommendations for school accommodations and support.
A screening is a brief questionnaire that flags potential concerns. A full evaluation at Core Spring Diagnostics includes clinical interviewing, cognitive and executive function testing, validated anxiety measures, and comorbidity screening. The result is a detailed diagnostic picture with individualized recommendations, not just a preliminary flag.
