You watch the bedtime routine get longer every night. The stuffed animals have to face a certain way, the light switch gets flipped a set number of times, and just when you think your child is settled, they call you back for one more check, one more reassurance that everything is okay before they can sleep. Maybe it is your own mind that will not quiet down, years of silent counting, rechecking locks, or intrusive thoughts you would never act on yet cannot switch off. Whatever pulled you toward this page, you are looking for honest answers and none of the judgment. An OCD evaluation in Kenosha with Core Spring Diagnostics is a thorough, individualized assessment that finally puts a name to what is happening and points toward what actually helps. You are welcome to contact us yourself; no referral is required.
Each evaluation opens with a baseline picture of cognitive and executive function, then shapes itself around the particular obsessions and compulsions you describe, all guided by one licensed psychologist who stays present from your first phone call through the closing feedback session. We rely on structured measures designed specifically for OCD and we look carefully for the conditions that tend to accompany it, among them anxiety, depression, tics, and ADHD.
Rituals that must follow an exact order or repeat until they feel right, scrubbing hands or intense worry about germs, a steady need for reassurance, genuine upset when a routine gets disrupted, sorting or aligning objects with care, and nagging worries that loom far larger than the moment calls for.
Rituals that swallow up homework and sleep, distressing thoughts that push their way in, hidden compulsions such as counting or mentally replaying events, steering clear of anything that sets things off, seeking reassurance, and quiet shame about behaviors they cannot seem to stop on their own.
Intrusive thoughts that keep returning, checking, washing, counting, a pull toward symmetry or a just right feeling, private mental routines, avoidance, and hours swallowed by rituals you recognize as excessive but feel powerless to resist.
Your evaluation opens with an hour long clinical interview in which your psychologist builds a careful history of the obsessions and compulsions, tracing when they first appeared, how they have shifted over time, and how much time and distress they now demand. What surfaces in this conversation guides which OCD specific measures will paint the clearest picture.
Your psychologist assembles a battery matched to you, pairing a cognitive and executive function baseline with structured OCD specific and emotional measures. Testing generally runs two to six hours in person across one or two days. Questionnaires come your way as well, and for children and teens, they also reach the caregivers and teachers who witness the patterns firsthand each day.
Every piece of testing data and each clinical observation is drawn together into a detailed report that describes the nature and severity of the OCD, the specific obsessions and compulsions at play, and any co-occurring conditions surfaced along the way, such as anxiety, depression, tics, or ADHD.
Usually two to three weeks after testing wraps up, you come back for a feedback session. Your psychologist talks you through the findings and lays out recommendations made for you, including evidence based therapy such as exposure and response prevention, supports at school or work, and clear next steps that fit your situation.
No. A referral is never required to be seen at Core Spring Diagnostics. You can reach out on your own, for any reason at all, and we coordinate with your other providers only when you ask us to.
A clinical interview and full history, a cognitive and executive function baseline, structured measures built for OCD, and screening for co-occurring conditions such as anxiety, depression, tics, and ADHD. One psychologist carries out the whole evaluation and walks you through what the findings mean.
OCD centers on unwanted, intrusive obsessions and the compulsions people lean on to ease them, and both grow time consuming and distressing. A formal evaluation separates true OCD from everyday habits, perfectionism, or general worry, and makes clear what will actually bring relief.
Yes. We assess children, teens, and adults, adapting the process and the questions to each stage of life, and we bring in caregiver and teacher input for younger clients.
OCD often shows up alongside anxiety, depression, tics or Tourette’s, and ADHD. Screening for co-occurring conditions is woven into every evaluation, so the recommendations speak to the full picture rather than one slice of it.
A written report in plain language and a feedback session with recommendations shaped to you, including evidence based therapy such as exposure and response prevention (ERP) along with other supports.
