Psychodiagnostic Assessments

Psychodiagnostic assessments refer to a comprehensive psychological assessment focused on a child’s social-emotional and behavioural functioning. This type of assessment can lead to the diagnosis of a mental health disorder (e.g., whether a child is struggling with a specific mood, anxiety, or trauma-related disorder) if applicable. Such assessments can help families better understand their child or adolescent’s struggles and provide options for treatment. Psychodiagnostic assessments are sometimes sought to provide necessary information to support formal accommodations within school or other settings. These assessments may include a semi-structured interview and the completion of questionnaires and other psychological measures. The length of time involved and subsequent fee for service depends on the purpose and nature of the assessment. If you are interested in obtaining a psychodiagnostics assessment for your child or teenager, please contact me to discuss further.
