From the outside, you look completely put together. You hit your deadlines, you run the meeting, and no one at the office suspects that a quiet second job runs underneath it all: the silent recheck of an email before you can hit send, the way you retrace a decision in your head until it feels safe, the small routines you slip in when no colleagues are watching. The rituals are invisible to everyone around you, and keeping them hidden is its own kind of exhausting. Maybe it is your child instead, redoing things until they land just right, or a loop of intrusive thoughts you would never act on but cannot switch off. Whatever led you here, you want honest answers, not a raised eyebrow. An OCD evaluation in Mequon with Core Spring Diagnostics is a thorough, individualized assessment that puts a name to what is happening and shows you what actually helps. You can contact us yourself, and no referral is needed.
The process opens with a baseline of cognitive and executive function, then bends around the particular obsessions and compulsions you describe, with a single licensed psychologist carrying the work from that first phone call all the way through the feedback session. We draw on structured, OCD specific measures and check for the conditions that so commonly ride alongside OCD, including anxiety, depression, tics, and ADHD.
Rituals that must follow a set order or be repeated until they feel correct, heavy hand washing or a fear of germs, a steady need for reassurance, genuine upset when a routine gets broken, arranging or lining up objects, and worries that loom far larger than whatever prompted them.
Rituals that swallow hours meant for homework and sleep, intrusive and often upsetting thoughts, mental compulsions such as counting or replaying things silently, steering clear of triggers, looking for reassurance, and secrecy or shame about habits they cannot seem to break.
Ongoing intrusive thoughts, checking, washing, counting, urges toward symmetry or a just right feeling, private mental routines, avoidance, and hours swallowed by rituals you recognize as excessive yet feel powerless to stop.
Your evaluation opens with an hour long clinical interview in which your psychologist builds a detailed history of the obsessions and compulsions, when they first appeared, how they have shifted over time, and how much time and distress they demand. This conversation guides which OCD specific measures will sharpen the picture most.
Your psychologist assembles a personalized battery that joins a cognitive and executive function baseline with structured OCD specific and emotional measures. In person testing usually runs two to six hours across one or two days. Questionnaires go out to you as well, and for children and teens, to the caregivers and teachers who watch these patterns play out every day.
Every piece of testing data and each clinical observation is drawn together into a thorough report describing the nature and severity of the OCD, the obsessions and compulsions at work, and any co-occurring conditions surfaced during the evaluation, such as anxiety, depression, tics, or ADHD.
Roughly two to three weeks after testing wraps up, you come back for a feedback session. Your psychologist talks you through the findings and offers recommendations tailored to you, including evidence based therapy such as exposure and response prevention, supports for school or the workplace, and clear next steps.
No. You never need a referral to be seen at Core Spring Diagnostics. Reach out to us directly, for any reason, 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 OCD specific measures, and screening for co-occurring conditions such as anxiety, depression, tics, and ADHD. A single psychologist runs the whole evaluation and walks you through the findings.
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 genuine OCD from everyday habits, perfectionism, or general anxiety, and clarifies what will truly help.
Yes. We evaluate children, teens, and adults, shaping the process and the questions to each stage of life, and we gather input from caregivers and teachers for younger clients.
OCD often shows up together with anxiety, depression, tics or Tourette’s, and ADHD. Screening for co-occurring conditions is woven into every evaluation, so the recommendations speak to the whole picture.
A written report in plain language and a feedback session with recommendations built around you, including evidence based therapy such as exposure and response prevention (ERP) and other supports.
