Assessment Services
Assessment is always part of the therapy or counselling process. Every new therapy relationship begins with an assessment so that your clinician may get to know you and the difficulties you wish to address in therapy. The assessment process may be longer or shorter, more or less formal, depending on your goals and needs.
We also provide stand-alone, psycho-diagnostic assessment services for children, adolescents and adults. This is a formal assessment which may involve a clinical interview, completing questionnaires, or other activities. An assessment report will be provided upon request.
Please note that psycho-educational and neuropsychological assessments are not provided at this time.
