Assessment

Types of Psychological Assessment

If you are concerned about your child’s development, our psychologists can provide assessment and treatment to identify the areas of need.

Our team can provide the following psychological evaluations:

• Autism Spectrum Disorder 

• Developmental assessment (for children under age of 5) 

• Pyscho-educational assessment (for school-aged children)

• Custody evaluation 

Most methods of psychological treatment are forms of counseling and psychotherapy. You might also hear this referred to as ‘talk therapy’, or just ‘therapy’. 

The central component of all counselling and psychotherapy is that it involves a trained professional (such as a clinical psychologist) meeting with an individual, couple, or family, to collaboratively work on overcoming challenges they are facing in their lives.

Through a combination of assessment, education, relationship building, skills training, and targeted therapeutic techniques—psychological treatment can ease emotional distress and help improve functioning in any area of life.

And an experienced psychologist will always tailor their approach to match the needs and desires of the individual or family they are treating.
