All clinical and forensic evaluations involve a comprehensive evaluation process completed by a Licensed Clinical Psychologist. The evaluations consist of 3-5 sessions and include the following components:
a) Clinical Interview: The evaluating psychologist will conduct a detailed clinical interview to gather information about past and current symptoms, developmental history, and family medical history.
b) Psychological Testing: Next, you will be administered standardized tests, such as rating scales, measures of mood and personality, memory, intelligence assessments, tests of learning and achievement, etc. Testing will be tailored to your individual symptoms and needed areas of exploration. Testing will take place over the course of 1-2 sessions that can range from 1-hour or longer.
c) Record Review: Review of prior treatment records and/or academic records as well as records the evaluator finds pertinent to the referral. The psychologist may review prior treatment records, or school and academic records, to gather more information about treatment progress or functioning within a school environment. Additionally, forensic evaluations may require review of police reports, Children and Family Services reports, consultation with attorneys, etc.
d) Collateral information: If authorized, the psychologist may gather information from family members, friends, teachers, or other relevant sources to gain a more complete understanding of symptoms and functioning.
e) Feedback Session: The evaluating psychologist will meet to discuss the results and findings of the evaluation. During the feedback session, the psychologist will review the psychological test findings and share observations and interpretations. The psychologist will provide a diagnosis, along with recommendations for future treatment options.
