When worry, panic, or constant tension start running the day, the most useful thing is a clear answer about what is driving it. Core Spring's Fond du Lac anxiety evaluations provide that, for children, teens, and adults. You can reach out on your own, no referral needed.
We look at the worry, the panic, the social fear, the tension, the avoidance, and the sleep that anxiety disrupts, then at how it interferes with daily life. The point is to understand what is actually driving the symptoms, not just to name them. One psychologist owns the entire process for Fond du Lac clients, from clinical interview through testing to feedback, with a cognitive and executive function baseline that screens for the overlapping pieces anxiety often hides behind.
Kids who melt down before school, won’t sleep, complain of stomachaches or headaches, avoid birthday parties, or worry about everything from tests to thunderstorms.
Teens dealing with social anxiety, dreading the lunchroom, perfectionism, panic symptoms, or academic pressure that interferes with confidence and daily functioning.
Adults living with chronic worry, racing thoughts, panic episodes, social dread, or anxiety that has quietly run the show for years.
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.
Signs include persistent worry that interferes with daily activities, avoidance of situations or places, physical symptoms like stomachaches or headaches without medical explanation, sleep disruption, difficulty concentrating, and emotional reactions disproportionate to the situation. If these patterns are affecting school, work, or relationships, an evaluation can provide clarity.
Anxiety and trauma can produce overlapping symptoms including hypervigilance, avoidance, and sleep disruption. Core Spring Diagnostics uses clinical interviewing and validated measures to differentiate between anxiety disorders and trauma-related conditions, ensuring the diagnosis and recommendations accurately reflect what is driving the symptoms.
Yes. Some anxiety is a normal response to specific stressors like a new school or family changes. A professional evaluation determines whether the anxiety is situational and expected to resolve, or whether it is persistent and clinical in nature. Core Spring Diagnostics provides this clarity through thorough assessment rather than a quick label.
The report covers diagnostic findings, cognitive and executive function results, anxiety-specific assessment outcomes, comorbidity screening results, and individualized recommendations. It is written to be shared with therapists, schools, and other providers, and includes enough detail to guide treatment planning and accommodation requests.
Yes. At Core Spring Diagnostics, one psychologist handles every step from the clinical interview through testing, scoring, report writing, and the feedback session. This ensures continuity and clinical consistency throughout the evaluation.
The evaluation identifies the specific type and severity of anxiety, any co-occurring conditions, and how anxiety affects cognitive and daily functioning. Therapists use this information to select the right treatment approach (such as CBT or exposure therapy), set targeted goals, and measure progress against a clinical baseline.
