Maybe you feel like a different person depending on who you are with, and you have never quite understood why the ground keeps shifting. A Personality Disorder Assessment in Fitchburg, WI works to make sense of those long running emotional and relational patterns, not to reduce you to a label. No referral is required to start.
Your assessment is led start to finish by one licensed psychologist, who pairs a searching clinical interview with personality measures and a baseline of cognitive and executive functioning. Because patterns like yours seldom have one tidy explanation, we screen with care for co occurring conditions rather than stopping at the obvious.
Your assessment opens with an hour of clinical conversation, during which your psychologist builds a full history of your emotional world, from childhood to the texture of your present life. This surfaces the patterns, their triggers, and their impact on daily functioning, which shapes the measures selected.
Informed by that conversation, your psychologist tailors a battery to your emotional and relational concerns, typically 2 to 6 hours of in person testing over one to two days. You bring home self report questionnaires, and a person close to you can fill out their own by choice. If signs of ADHD, depression, or trauma turn up, those are screened as part of the work.
The full set of findings, scores, observations, and questionnaire responses, is assembled into a single detailed report. Every co occurring condition identified is recorded clearly, so you finish with a complete grasp of what underlies your patterns.
About two to three weeks after testing, you return for feedback. Your psychologist talks you through the results and offers individualized recommendations, including coping strategies, evidence based therapy options, and next steps fitted to your situation.
No. Core Spring Diagnostics never asks for a referral. You are welcome to contact us directly for any reason, and we will coordinate with your therapist or provider only if you would like that.
A careful clinical interview and personality measures on a baseline of cognitive and executive functioning, together with screening for the mood, anxiety, trauma, and attention concerns that often travel alongside. One psychologist performs the whole assessment and explains what it means.
No. Understanding drives this. A diagnosis, if one truly applies, is only a slice of the larger picture, and the genuine value is in individualized recommendations and a clear path to the support most likely to help.
Generally not. With children and younger teens we concentrate on understanding emotional and relational patterns and what helps them, rather than applying a diagnosis held for adulthood.
A plain language report and a feedback session rich with practical recommendations, including therapy approaches and supports matched to what the assessment found.
