An important starting point for treatment services is a thorough initial evaluation. This process can take 1-3 sessions and is the first step to determine what conditions are of concern. This helps you to outline with your therapist the treatment processes.
An initial evaluation incorporates an interview of behavioral health questions along with possible subsequent testing sessions. The tests, administered and interpreted by psychologists, can assess cognitive, affective and behavioral functioning as well as personality strengths and weaknesses.
Once an evaluation has been completed, the results are reviewed with you. You will learn about yourself in a more comprehensive manner. After all, you provided the information of the evaluation, so some of the outcomes should be familiar to you yet better help you clarify aspects of yourself.
