Perhaps every quiet moment fills with what ifs, or your child's belly hurts every morning before the bus. You are tired of being told to just relax when you already sense it runs deeper. Our Anxiety Evaluations in Hartford, WI are built to explain what is really going on, and you can start without any referral.
Our Anxiety Evaluations in Hartford, WI begin from a shared starting point: a measured baseline of cognitive and executive function. From there your psychologist adds the anxiety and emotional assessments that suit your concern, and one licensed provider handles all of it. Since worry so rarely stands alone, that provider also screens for the conditions that commonly ride along with it.
Young children may not have the words for worry, so it leaks out sideways: frequent tummy aches or headaches, bedtime that drags on for hours, and a tight grip when a parent tries to leave. Watch for skipped activities, a need to get everything just right, and meltdowns over small setbacks.
In teens, anxiety can wear the mask of moodiness, social hesitation, or a tendency to pull back from friends. Focus scatters, the body stays braced, and a critical inner narrator refuses to give any credit. Plenty of teens keep the surface calm while running anxious underneath it all day.
For adults it is often a low, steady drone of worry, a mind that speeds up the second the lights go out, and a body that never quite powers down: clenched jaw, racing heart, elusive sleep. After years of it, many assume this bracing feeling is simply their personality.
The evaluation opens with an hour long clinical interview in which your psychologist traces your emotional history, from your earliest years to the demands of daily life today. This helps us see the shape of your anxiety, what sets it off, and how it touches your functioning, which then guides the choice of assessments.
Guided by that interview, your psychologist puts together a battery of anxiety and emotional functioning measures made for you. Expect 2 to 6 hours of in person testing spread over one to two days, along with questionnaires to complete at home; a close family member can fill out their own if they wish. Should signs of ADHD, depression, or trauma appear, we screen for those as well.
Every result, from the test scores to the clinical observations to the questionnaire responses, is drawn together into one thorough diagnostic report. If anything co occurring emerged during the process, it is recorded clearly, so you end up with a full and truthful understanding of what sits behind your symptoms.
About two to three weeks on, you return for a feedback session. Your psychologist explains the diagnosis in everyday language and offers recommendations shaped to you: practical coping tools for home and work, therapy paths like CBT, medication guidance when it applies, and clear next steps that match your circumstances.
Not at all. Core Spring Diagnostics never requires a referral. You are free to contact us on your own, whenever the concern feels ready to face, and we take it from there.
It includes a clinical interview, a cognitive and executive function baseline, focused anxiety and emotional measures, and screening for connected concerns such as attention, mood, and trauma, with one psychologist overseeing every step.
Usually not, because anxiety makes more sense when viewed as part of a wider whole. We shape the evaluation around you and cast a broad net so no important piece goes overlooked.
Children, teens, and adults are all welcome. We adapt both the approach and the questions to whatever stage of life you or your child are in.
You take home a plain language report and a feedback session filled with individualized recommendations, including the therapy and support options most likely to help in your case.
Just call (414) 387-2100 and we will find a time that works. No referral to gather beforehand and no hoops to jump through to be seen.
