Evaluation Process
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.

Common Questions
FAQs About Anxiety & Emotional Evaluation
How do I know if this evaluation is needed?
If emotional struggles are disrupting life, school, or relationships and you’re unsure why, evaluation can bring helpful clarity and direction.
Can you diagnose anxiety or depression?
Yes, if criteria are met. We evaluate a range of emotional and mood disorders and offer a full diagnostic report.
Is this evaluation helpful for schools or therapists?
Absolutely. Our evaluations can guide school accommodations or inform therapy by clearly identifying needs and areas of concern.
What if the results show nothing is wrong?
That’s okay, too. Sometimes understanding what isn’t happening is just as valuable and can bring peace of mind.
How early can emotional concerns be identified in children?
Emotional patterns can be identified as early as preschool. If you’re noticing frequent fears, sadness, or meltdowns, evaluation can help clarify what’s going on.
Does the anxiety evaluation cover PTSD and bipolar disorder?
Yes — our evaluation can also screen for PTSD and bipolar-related symptoms.
