Anxiety is more than a checklist of symptoms, and a real answer means looking past the surface. Core Spring's Port Washington evaluations do exactly that, for children, teens, and adults. Reach out directly, no referral needed.
We look past the surface symptoms to the real pattern, the worry, panic, social fear, tension, avoidance, racing thoughts, and disrupted sleep, and at how anxiety interferes with daily functioning. Screening for what often travels with it is built in. Clients in Port Washington work with one psychologist from interview through feedback, starting with a cognitive and executive function baseline before layering in anxiety-specific measures.
A child might worry constantly, fear being away from a parent, complain of stomachaches or headaches, or avoid anything unfamiliar.
A teen might wrestle with social anxiety and panic, feel crushed by academic pressure, or have racing thoughts that wreck sleep and focus.
An adult might face chronic worry, disrupted sleep, panic episodes, or anxiety that quietly drains work, relationships, and daily responsibilities.
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.

Anxiety often presents differently at home, school, and social environments. Core Spring Diagnostics gathers data from multiple sources, including the individual, parents, teachers, and other relevant observers, using clinical interviewing and rating scales that capture how anxiety shows up across contexts.
Yes. Panic disorder involves recurrent, unexpected panic attacks and persistent worry about future episodes. Core Spring Diagnostics uses validated anxiety measures and clinical interviewing to identify panic-related patterns and distinguish them from generalized anxiety, social anxiety, or other conditions.
Rating scales capture the frequency and severity of anxiety symptoms from multiple perspectives. Parents, teachers, and the individual each provide input, which the psychologist integrates with cognitive testing and clinical observations to build a complete picture of how anxiety presents across settings.
The report includes individualized recommendations for therapy, school accommodations, coping strategies, and lifestyle adjustments. The feedback session is an opportunity to discuss these recommendations in detail and create a concrete plan for moving forward.
Yes. If the evaluation reveals concerns beyond anxiety, such as ADHD, learning differences, or mood-related patterns, Core Spring Diagnostics can expand the assessment into a comprehensive neuropsychological evaluation. One psychologist manages the entire process regardless of scope.
