Mental Health Evaluations

A mental health evaluation consists of an in depth diagnostic interview with a licensed clinician. During the interview, a comprehensive mental health and social history is taken as well as a complete drug and alcohol history. Specific areas of mental functioning such as memory, intelligence, problem solving, and social functioning are examined. Attention is also placed on relationships and history of mental illness such as depression, anxiety, schizophrenia, etc.  Specific objective measures might also be administered if the evaluating clinician determines that it is appropriate. These can help to give additional objective insights into diagnosis and functioning.  This information can then be used to ensure that proper treatment is provided. We ensure that all clinicians who conduct mental evaluations are properly licensed and trained in order to provide the best possible care.
