Evaluations & Assessments 

Our highly skilled clinicians provide evaluations and assessments upon request.   

At times, an assessment is requested by an outside agency and a client does not choose to or is not required to pursue ongoing therapy.

​

The Biopsychosocial assessment is a tool used to assess where a client is at the present moment.  The assessment includes a three-part examination that includes the biological, psychological, and social elements of a persons functioning as an individual, a part of a family system, and in society at-large.
