For decades you have quietly organized your day around routines that no one else really sees. The rechecking, the counting, the small acts that have to happen before you can move on, they have simply become part of how you live. Now, later in life, you find yourself wondering whether it was ever supposed to be this way, and whether it is finally worth understanding and sorting out. You are not looking for judgment. You want a clear, honest account of what has been going on. An OCD evaluation in Delafield with Core Spring Diagnostics is an in-depth, individualized assessment that makes sense of these patterns and shows what actually helps. You can contact us directly, and no referral is needed.
Every evaluation opens with a baseline of cognitive and executive function, then is shaped around the particular obsessions and compulsions you describe, with a single licensed psychologist guiding the whole process from that first conversation through to the feedback session. We rely on structured, OCD specific measures and check for the conditions that so commonly travel alongside OCD, including anxiety, depression, tics, and ADHD.
Rituals that must follow a set order or be repeated until they feel right, washing hands over and over or an outsized fear of germs, a constant need for reassurance, genuine upset when a routine gets interrupted, arranging or lining up objects, and worries that loom far larger than the situation calls for.
Rituals that swallow up time meant for homework and sleep, intrusive thoughts that are often upsetting, silent compulsions such as counting or mentally reviewing, steering clear of triggers, seeking reassurance, and embarrassment or secrecy around behaviors they cannot seem to stop.
Ongoing intrusive thoughts, checking, washing, counting, urges toward symmetry or a just right feeling, hidden mental rituals, avoidance, and hours swallowed by routines you recognize as excessive yet feel powerless to resist.
Your evaluation opens with a clinical interview lasting about an hour, where your psychologist builds a detailed history of the obsessions and compulsions: when they first appeared, how they have shifted over time, and how much time and distress they consume. That conversation guides which OCD specific measures will give us the clearest view.
Your psychologist assembles a personalized battery that combines a cognitive and executive function baseline with structured OCD specific and emotional measures. Testing runs two to six hours of in person work over one or two visits. Questionnaires are also sent your way and, for children and teens, to the caregivers and teachers who witness the patterns firsthand.
All of the testing data and clinical observations are drawn together into a detailed report describing the nature and severity of the OCD, the specific obsessions and compulsions at play, and any co-occurring conditions surfaced during the evaluation, such as anxiety, depression, tics, or ADHD.
Usually two to three weeks after testing, you come back for a feedback session. Your psychologist talks you through the findings and offers recommendations built around you, including evidence based therapy such as exposure and response prevention, supports for school or the workplace, and clear next steps suited to your situation.
No. You never need a referral to be seen at Core Spring Diagnostics. You can reach out directly, for any reason at all, and we coordinate with your other providers only if that is what you want.
A clinical interview and full history, a cognitive and executive function baseline, structured OCD specific measures, and screening for co-occurring conditions such as anxiety, depression, tics, and ADHD. One psychologist carries out the entire evaluation and walks you through the findings.
OCD involves unwanted, intrusive obsessions and the compulsions people use to ease them, and both grow time consuming and distressing. A formal evaluation separates true OCD from ordinary habits, perfectionism, or general anxiety, and clarifies what will genuinely help.
Yes. We evaluate children, teens, and adults, adjusting the process and the questions to each stage of life, including input from caregivers and teachers for our younger clients.
OCD often occurs alongside anxiety, depression, tics or Tourette’s, and ADHD. Screening for co-occurring conditions is part of every evaluation, so the recommendations speak to the whole picture.
