Psychological testing
What is psychological testing?
Are you stuck in therapy? Left wondering why you do what you do? Keep sabotaging relationships in a way that makes you feel lonely or misunderstood? Do you have troubles getting distracted? Psychological testing (sometimes referred to as “psychological assessment”) is a unique service designed to help clients answers complex questions about diagnoses and other clinical concerns.
Engaging in this process is unique and can be life-changing, and requires significant expertise. I have extensive history with both cognitive (e.g., ADHD) testing and personality testing (aimed at understanding relationship issues, self-esteem issues, etc). Both of these types of test are powerful tools that can be used in many different settings to answer many different types of questions, such as:
Why do I do what I do (e.g., self-sabotage, criticize myself, push others away)?
Why do I have so many problems in relationships?
Why do I feel so badly about myself?
What is my diagnosis? Do I have OCD? Do I have bipolar disorder?
Do I have Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (“ADHD”)?
Why do I have problems with self-esteem and/or relationships?
Why have I been stuck in therapy for many years and not made as progress as I hoped?
Why do I get so overwhelmed by my emotions and/or thoughts?
Do I have a personality disorder?
I have extensive experience and specialized training with psychological assessment, and have spent thousands of hours conducting testing. I would love to have the opportunity to chat more with you about the many ways psychological testing can enrich your life, help your therapy progress, or assist in school and/or your career. Give me a call if you’re curious about testing and I’ll share how I think it can help you.
I also regularly conduct Therapeutic Assessments for other clinicians who are working with highly complex clients. Reach out to me for more information on how a therapeutic assessment can help therapy progress with your clients.
