Psychological Assessment
Psychological Assessment and Psychometric Testing
At Axis Mental Health Services, we provide comprehensive psychological assessments and psychometric testing to deliver accurate diagnoses and create personalized treatment plans. Our evidence-based evaluation process combines clinical interviews with standardized testing instruments to gain deep insights into cognitive functioning, emotional wellbeing, personality traits, and behavioral patterns.
Our psychological assessments are conducted by qualified professionals using validated, reliable testing instruments. We assess various domains including intelligence, memory, attention, academic achievement, emotional functioning, and personality characteristics. The results provide a comprehensive understanding of an individual's strengths, challenges, and treatment needs, forming the foundation for effective therapeutic interventions and personalized care plans.
Our Assessment Process
The assessment process begins with a thorough clinical interview to understand your concerns, history, and current challenges. We then select appropriate standardized tests based on your specific needs. The testing session is conducted in a comfortable, supportive environment, and we ensure you understand each step of the process. Following testing, we analyze the results and provide a comprehensive feedback session to discuss findings and recommendations.
Our assessments are tailored to address specific referral questions, whether for diagnostic clarification, treatment planning, academic accommodations, workplace assessments, or forensic evaluations. We maintain the highest standards of ethical practice and ensure all testing is culturally sensitive and appropriate for each individual.
Evidence-Based Insights for Better Outcomes
We believe that accurate assessment is the cornerstone of effective treatment. Our psychological evaluations provide objective data that complements clinical judgment, leading to more precise diagnoses, targeted interventions, and better treatment outcomes. The insights gained from our assessments empower individuals with greater self-understanding and provide clinicians with valuable information for treatment planning.

What is the difference between psychological assessment and therapy?
Psychological assessment focuses on evaluation and diagnosis through standardized testing and clinical interviews, while therapy involves treatment and intervention. Assessment provides a comprehensive understanding of your psychological functioning, identifies specific challenges and strengths, and informs treatment planning. Many clients undergo assessment before beginning therapy to ensure their treatment is tailored to their specific needs.
How long does a psychological assessment typically take?
The duration varies depending on the type of assessment needed. Most comprehensive evaluations take between 4-8 hours of testing, which may be completed in one or multiple sessions. This is followed by scoring, interpretation, and report writing by our psychologists. You'll then have a feedback session to discuss the results and recommendations, typically scheduled 1-2 weeks after testing is complete.
What should I expect during the testing session?
During testing, you'll complete various tasks including questionnaires, problem-solving exercises, memory tests, and possibly computer-based assessments. The environment is comfortable and supportive, with breaks provided as needed. Our assessors are trained to help you feel at ease and perform your best. There are no right or wrong answers - we're interested in understanding how you think and process information.
How will the assessment results be used?
Assessment results are used to provide diagnostic clarity, inform treatment planning, identify strengths and challenges, and make specific recommendations for therapy, academic accommodations, workplace adjustments, or other interventions. You'll receive a comprehensive written report and have a detailed feedback session to ensure you understand the results and how they can be applied to improve your wellbeing and functioning.
