Maybe your child cannot leave the bathroom until their hands feel truly clean, or has to line up the shoes by the door before dinner. Maybe you are the adult who checks the stove three times, then once more. An OCD evaluation in Brookfield with Core Spring Diagnostics is a thorough, individualized assessment that makes sense of the obsessions and the rituals meant to quiet them. You can reach out on your own, and no referral is needed.
OCD Testing in Brookfield, WI begins from a baseline of how attention, planning, and executive function are working, then shapes itself around the exact obsessions and compulsions you describe. One licensed psychologist carries the whole process, from that first conversation to the day we sit down and talk through results, so nothing is handed off along the way. We rely on structured, OCD specific measures and look carefully for the conditions that so often travel alongside it, including anxiety, depression, tics, and ADHD.
Maybe your child repeats an action until it feels right, washes their hands past the point of clean, or comes to you again and again for the same reassurance. You might notice real upset when a routine is interrupted, a need to line up objects, or worries that seem far larger than whatever set them off.
For a teenager, the rituals can quietly swallow homework time and sleep. You may see intrusive thoughts that clearly distress them, silent habits like counting or reviewing, steady avoidance of certain triggers, and a layer of secrecy about behaviors they know are excessive but cannot stop.
As an adult, you may recognize yourself in the checking, the washing, the counting, or the pull toward things feeling just right. There can be private mental rituals nobody sees, situations you quietly steer around, and hours disappearing into routines you know are more than necessary yet cannot resist.
Your first hour is spent in conversation, with your psychologist tracing the arc of the obsessions and compulsions: the point they first surfaced, the shape they have taken since, and how many of your waking hours and how much distress they now claim. For a child or teen, we fold in what caregivers and teachers see day to day. Everything that emerges here tells us which OCD specific measures will read the pattern most clearly.
From that conversation your psychologist builds a battery made for you, laying a cognitive and executive function baseline next to structured OCD specific and emotional measures. In person work typically fills 2 to 6 hours spread across one or two days. Questionnaires travel home with you, and when we are seeing a child or teen, out to the caregivers and teachers who watch these habits play out.
Each result and every clinical note is pulled into a single written report. It sets out the character and severity of the OCD, names the particular obsessions and compulsions in play, and flags anything co occurring we found, whether anxiety, depression, tics, or ADHD.
You come back roughly two to three weeks on for a feedback session. Your psychologist takes you through what the evaluation turned up and sets out individualized recommendations, among them evidence based therapy such as exposure and response prevention (ERP), accommodations at school or work, and concrete next steps matched to your situation.
You do not. Nobody has to bring a referral to be seen at Core Spring Diagnostics. Get in touch with us on your own terms, for whatever reason, and if you want us to work with your other providers we will, but only at your say so.
One psychologist takes you through a clinical interview and full history, sets a cognitive and executive function baseline, runs structured OCD specific measures, and screens for the conditions that ride alongside OCD, like anxiety, depression, tics, and ADHD. That same person then sits with you and explains where it all landed.
The line falls at unwanted, intrusive obsessions and the compulsions that spring up to quiet them, which stretch out and start to hurt over time. An evaluation sorts genuine OCD from a tidy streak, a perfectionist bent, or a naturally anxious mind, and shows you plainly where relief will come from.
Children, teens, and adults are all within our scope. We match the pace and the questions to where the person is in life, and for the younger ones we pull in what caregivers and teachers notice so no important detail slips by.
OCD keeps company with anxiety, depression, tics or Tourette’s, and ADHD more often than not. A screen for each is folded into every evaluation, which is why the recommendations you leave with account for the whole of it rather than a single thread.
Pick up the phone and call Core Spring Diagnostics at (414) 387-2100, or send a consultation request through the website. There is no referral to chase, and we will help you sketch the evaluation path that fits what you are dealing with.
