Individual THerapy & Counseling
Sometimes you need more than a conversation to understand what’s going on. Psychological assessments provide a comprehensive, objective picture of your mental health, cognitive functioning, or specific concerns like ADHD or autism. Whether you’ve been struggling for years without clear answers or need documentation for school, work, or treatment planning, a thorough evaluation can give you the clarity and direction you’ve been looking for.
At Care Pack Counseling, we offer psychological assessments for adolescents and adults. Our evaluations are conducted by trained clinicians who take the time to understand your history, administer evidence-based testing, and provide detailed feedback and recommendations. We don’t just hand you a report and send you on your way. We walk you through your results, answer your questions, and help you understand what they mean for your life and next steps.
Types of Assessments We Offer
ADHD Testing & Evaluation Comprehensive ADHD assessments to determine whether attention, focus, or executive functioning challenges are related to ADHD. Our evaluations include clinical interviews, standardized rating scales, and cognitive testing to provide an accurate diagnosis and personalized recommendations.
Autism Spectrum Evaluation Diagnostic evaluations for autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in adolescents and adults. Many people reach adulthood without ever receiving an autism diagnosis, and an evaluation can provide answers, self-understanding, and access to appropriate support.
Diagnostic Clarification When symptoms overlap or previous diagnoses don’t quite fit, diagnostic clarification assessments help sort out what’s really going on. We evaluate for conditions like depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, PTSD, personality disorders, and more to ensure you get the right diagnosis and treatment.
Learning Disability Testing Assessments to identify learning disabilities and processing differences that may be affecting academic or work performance. Evaluations can help with accommodations for school, standardized testing, or workplace support.
Personality Assessment In-depth evaluation of personality traits and patterns to support treatment planning, self-understanding, or diagnostic clarification. Personality assessments can be especially helpful when therapy feels stuck or when you want deeper insight into how you relate to yourself and others.
What to Expect
The assessment process typically includes an initial intake interview, standardized testing, and a feedback session where we review your results together. You’ll receive a detailed written report summarizing findings, diagnoses (if applicable), and tailored recommendations for treatment, accommodations, or next steps. The length of the evaluation depends on the type of assessment but generally takes place over one to three appointments.
Who Can Benefit from Psychological Testing
Psychological assessments can be helpful if you’re experiencing symptoms that haven’t responded to treatment, wondering whether you have ADHD, autism, or a learning disability, seeking documentation for school or work accommodations, wanting clarity about a previous diagnosis, or simply looking for a deeper understanding of how your mind works.
