I offer expert psychological testing to assess, diagnose, and provide insights into psychological and personality disorders. My services are designed to help you gain a deeper understanding of your mental health, identify underlying issues, and develop effective treatment plans. With compassion and precision, I’m here to support you on your journey toward improved well-being.
What Are Psychological and Personality Disorders?
I know that psychological and personality disorders can be challenging to navigate. Psychological disorders include conditions that affect emotions, thoughts, and behaviors, such as anxiety disorders, depression, bipolar conditions, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). Personality disorders involve enduring patterns of behavior, cognition, and inner experience that deviate from cultural expectations and cause distress or impairment, such as borderline personality disorder, narcissistic personality disorder, or avoidant personality disorder. These conditions can significantly impact your daily life, relationships, and overall functioning, but with the right support, I believe progress is possible.
Psychological Testing Services
As a licensed psychologist and therapist with specialized training, I conduct thorough psychological testing to evaluate your mental health. I use a combination of standardized tests, clinical interviews, and observational methods to provide a comprehensive assessment. My goal is to uncover the root causes of your symptoms, clarify any diagnoses, and recommend personalized interventions that work for you.
What to Expect During Testing
In-Depth Assessment: I administer a variety of psychological tests and measures to evaluate areas such as: - Emotional functioning (e.g., mood, anxiety, stress) - Personality traits and patterns - Behavioral tendencies and coping mechanisms - Cognitive and perceptual styles - Interpersonal functioning and relationship dynamics.
Clinical Interview and History Review: I’ll take the time to discuss your concerns, medical history, and life experiences to gain a comprehensive understanding of your unique situation.
Collaborative Process: I work closely with you, your family (with your consent), and other healthcare providers (e.g., therapists, psychiatrists) to ensure a holistic approach to your care.
Comprehensive Report and Feedback: After testing, I’ll provide you with a detailed report summarizing the findings, potential diagnoses, and tailored recommendations for therapy, medication, or other interventions. I also offer a feedback session to review results, address your questions, and outline next steps.
