Strengthening the Therapy Process

There are some common issues that bring individuals and couples into therapy, but there are also many complicated and deep possible reasons. A psychological assessment can identify needs in therapy, highlight issues that may come up in treatment, recommend particular forms of intervention, and offer guidance about potential outcomes of treatment.

 

Assessment is intended to provide a structured, organized, and succinct description of current psychological functioning, including cognitive abilities and emotional experience. A clinical assessment containing a diagnosis and treatment planning may be helpful for individuals struggling with behavioral, social or emotional difficulties (e.g., anxiety, depression, etc.) that seem to be interfering with social, cognitive, or academic functioning. Given the complexity of client issues in the therapy setting, comprehensive assessment evaluations are both practical and effective.

 

Prepare to Change psychologists are skilled at clinical assessment, diagnosis, and treatment.

Career Assessment: Realizing Your Potential

Whether it’s planning a career, making a professional change, or keeping a position on track, we provide flexible online assessments to address and support your goals and transitions. A career assessment is a tool which can give you an indication of what jobs are a match for your interests and abilities or careers you may have an aptitude for.

 

There are a variety of career assessment tests and tools available online. Some are free, but many are not. When you take a free career assessment test, keep in mind that they can be quick and easy to take, but many of those tests are not scientifically validated. Validated tests used by our team of clinicians include (1) interest inventories; (2) motivation and values inventories; (3) personality tests; and (4) ability tests.

Educational Assessment: Paving the Way for Success

If you or a family member has been referred for a psychoeducational assessment, you probably have some questions about what to expect. In general, a comprehensive evaluation is intended to provide an understanding of an individual’s strengths and weaknesses and make an accurate diagnosis.

 

The process begins with a clinical interview, and includes a range of psychological tests depending on the reason for the evaluation. This can include tests of emotional well-being, intellectual (or IQ) tests, tests of academic achievement and learning styles, tests for possible neurological damage, and tests for specific psychological disturbances and their severity.

 

Results of each testing instrument and assessment are compiled and analyzed by our psychologists to form a clear picture of the individual’s current functioning for specific recommendations and strategies to assist with enhancing learning and academic performance or providing information to assist with vocational and career decisions.

  • Record & Strategy Review
