What to expect in an Assessment
Our individual assessments are thoughtfully designed to meet your unique needs. These in-session evaluations may include cognitive assessments tailored specifically to you. Embracing technology to enhance the assessment process, we may use computers or iPads for certain components. Typically, assessments take place over one or two sessions, followed by a careful review and interpretation by the clinician. Once complete, we’ll schedule a feedback session to share insights, recommendations, and a detailed report—either brief or comprehensive, depending on your preference.
