What can I expect from an assessment?

At Ascent Psychological Services, when you seek a Psychological Assessment, you can anticipate a thoughtfully structured, step-by-step process. We design our approach to ensure that every pertinent factor is thoughtfully considered, affirming the diverse ways in which individuals experience and understand themselves. Here's what to expect:

  • 1. Diagnostic Interview (60-90 min)

    For your first appointment with us, we’ll engage in a thorough diagnostic interview. This is a space for you to share your history and express any concerns you wish to explore during the assessment. When it comes to child assessments, we warmly invite parents/guardians to join us. Their presence can be a source of comfort for the child and their insights offer essential context and background.

  • 2. Testing Session (120-150 min)

    For your second appointment with us, we’ll work together to complete all necessary testing materials ensuring a comprehensive understanding of your cognitive, emotional, and behavioral functioning. Our neuropsychological assessments typically require two of these testing sessions in order to complete all testing materials.

  • 3. Feedback Session (60-90 min)

    After the assessment, your third appointment with us will consist of a feedback session. This session will include a comprehensive review of all results. At this session our clinician will guide you through understanding the outcomes and will be available to address any additional questions you may have. If the client is a minor, this session includes the parents/guardians, fostering a collaborative space where insights can be shared and processed together with their child.

  • 4. Written Diagnostic Report

    After two weeks, following the feedback session, you will receive a written diagnostic report that outlines the results discussed in the feedback session. In addition it provides a list treatment recommendations and a variety of recommended resources. This report is designed to be a valuable tool for your use. This may include, but is not exclusive to, sharing it with other healthcare providers, school officials, or therapists to guide further care and treatment.

Additional Appointments

If determined necessary, we may arrange extra appointments to speak with teachers or other care providers, or to observe the client in their classroom setting. These additional sessions offer a fuller understanding of the client's environment, providing valuable insights that can influence our treatment strategies and recommendations.
