About Assessment
Psychological assessment is a structured process used to better understand an individual’s cognitive, emotional, behavioral, and psychological functioning. It may include clinical interviews, standardized tests, observations, and questionnaires tailored to the referral question. The goal is to clarify diagnoses, identify strengths and challenges, and inform treatment, academic, or workplace recommendations. Results are integrated into a clear, meaningful report that supports informed decision-making and next steps.
