Assessments
A formal assessment is a structured process used by a psychologist to gather comprehensive information about an individual’s concerns, history, and functioning. It typically involves clinical interviews, standardized questionnaires, and evidence-based testing to better understand strengths, challenges, and mental health needs. The results provide clarity, guide diagnosis, and inform personalized treatment or support plans. Learn about the different assessments we offer at Empowered Wellness & Solutions below.
ADHD Assessment
An ADHD assessment is a structured evaluation that explores attention, focus, impulsivity, and related behaviors. It often includes clinical interviews, standardized questionnaires, and input from multiple sources (such as parents, or partners) to understand symptoms across settings. The process helps determine whether ADHD is present, rule out other factors, and guide appropriate treatment and support strategies.
Autism Assessment
An autism assessment is a comprehensive evaluation that examines social communication, behavior patterns, and developmental history. It typically involves clinical interviews, standardized questionnaires, direct observation, and sometimes input from family or caregivers. The goal is to determine whether an individual meets criteria for autism, provide diagnostic clarity, and guide recommendations for support and intervention.
Social Emotional
A social-emotional assessment is an evaluation that explores an individual’s ability to understand, express, and manage emotions, build relationships, and cope with challenges. It often includes interviews, questionnaires, and observations to identify strengths and areas of concern. The results help guide strategies to support emotional well-being, resilience, and healthy social development assessing for anxiety, depression and OCD.
Comprehensive Assessment
A comprehensive assessment is an in-depth evaluation that examines a wide range of mental health and developmental concerns, including ADHD, autism, anxiety, depression, and OCD. It combines clinical interviews, standardized questionnaires, behavioral observations, and collateral information to provide a full picture of an individual’s strengths and challenges. The results offer diagnostic clarity and guide tailored recommendations for treatment and support.
Career Assessment
A career assessment is a structured process that helps individuals explore their interests, strengths, values, and skills to identify suitable career paths. Using interviews, questionnaires, and standardized tools, it provides insight into career options, supports informed decision-making, and guides education or employment planning.
