Psychological evaluations consist of a comprehensive interview, followed by test administration that the evaluator uses to identify patterns of emotional and personality functioning. Psychological evaluations are sometimes used to test intellectual abilities. However, cognitive testing is not as comprehensive as a full neuropsychological evaluation, which if this is indicated, referrals will be offered.
At Rhombus we use Psychological evaluations to assist in treatment for the following reasons:
- To determine a psychiatric diagnosis
- To assist with treatment planning and recommendations
- To learn about an individual’s personality traits
- To determine psychiatric disability
- Depending on the reason for psychological evaluation, the face-to-face time required can typically range from 2 hours up to 8 hours.
We also offer clinical and forensic psychological evaluations for adults at Rhombus Counseling, with skilled clinicians who specialize in clinical psychology.
