Psychological Services 

We offer a range of psychological assessments as well as psychological consultation. 

Psychoeducational Assessment 

Psychoeducational assessments, often referred to as PsychoEds, typically include a cognitive test to assess intellectual functioning as well as an academic test to assess for learning disabilities. Psychoeducational assessment can identify your pattern of strengths and weaknesses as well as offer recommendations tailored to your results in particular. 


Additional measures can be used in combination with psychoeducational assessments to explore if a diagnosis of Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder is also present. 


Comprehensive Psychological Assessment

Comprehensive psychological assessments seek to explore additional areas above and beyond cognitive and academic functioning and include assessment of social and emotional functioning as well. Diagnostic labels like Generalized Anxiety Disorder, Major Depressive Disorder, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, etc are explored within these assessments. The impact of trauma and life experiences on functioning can also be included. 


Psychological Consultation

Psychological consultation includes 1 to 3 one hour sessions seeking to explore the factors that are contributing to challenges, as well as offer recommendations for moving forward. If now is not the time for a full psychological assessment, psychological consultation may be a better fit. However, while potential diagnoses may be named and discussed, formal diagnoses will not be made within this service.
