Our evaluations are designed to identify underlying math related difficulties and understand how they impact academic performance and confidence. We take a detailed and individualized approach to ensure each person’s learning profile is clearly understood.
Each evaluation opens with a baseline of cognitive and executive function, then layers in mood measures and a careful, chronological history. One licensed psychologist carries the entire process from intake to feedback, deliberately screening for the depression, anxiety, ADHD, and trauma that bipolar patterns so often masquerade as.
In young children, we read mood patterns slowly and cautiously, because so many things look alike at that age. The goal is to understand the whole picture over time, never to rush a child toward a label that may not fit.
In teens, watch for distinct stretches of elevated or irritable mood and racing energy that swing into low, depleted periods, alongside big changes in sleep, impulsive choices, and shifts that clearly outrun ordinary teenage ups and downs.
In adults, the tell is often episodes of expansive or irritable high energy that alternate with real depression, paired with swings in sleep, activity, and judgment, and a long back story that never quite matched a single tidy explanation.
We start with a one hour conversation where your psychologist builds a thorough history of mood, energy, and behavior stretching from childhood into your present daily life. Tracing that timeline is how we spot the cycling that separates bipolar disorder from other mood conditions and how we decide which assessments to run.
Your psychologist assembles a personalized set of mood and psychological measures, typically 2 to 6 hours of in person testing spread across one to two days. You take self report questionnaires home, and a close family member or partner can add their own view of your mood over time. Any signs of ADHD, anxiety, or depression are screened for as they surface.
All of the testing data, clinical notes, and questionnaire results are pulled into one detailed diagnostic report. Accurate differential diagnosis matters enormously with bipolar disorder, so your psychologist weighs mood patterns, episode history, and symptom presentation closely, and any co-occurring conditions are documented in full.
Roughly two to three weeks later you return for a feedback session. Your psychologist walks you through the findings and lays out individualized recommendations: treatment planning, evidence based therapy options, medication questions to raise, lifestyle strategies, and clear next steps shaped around your situation.
