What is a Diagnostic Assessment
If you're navigating mental health concerns and seeking answers, psychological assessments can be a valuable tool to help you gain a deeper understanding of your well-being. Psychological testing is a short-cut to learning a lot about your personality, your mood, and your behaviors in a short amount of time. The results of these assessments are increased clarity and a personalized roadmap for treatment.
In this guide, we'll walk you through what psychological assessments are and how they can provide the answers you're looking for.
Diagnosis: Psychological assessments can help mental health professionals determine if you have a specific mental health condition, such as depression, anxiety, or ADHD. This is a critical first step in developing a treatment plan. In cases of complex mental health concerns, assessments can help uncover underlying causes or triggers, such as trauma or stressors in your life.
Personality Functioning: Assessments can provide insights into your personality traits, strengths, and areas where you may need support. This self-awareness can be a powerful tool for personal growth.
Treatment Planning: The results of assessments can guide your mental health professional in developing a personalized treatment plan, which may include therapy, medication, lifestyle changes, or a combination of these.

Assessment Process
A client can be self-referred or referred by a mental health provider for specific psychological evaluation at Hello Mental Health. In either case, the referral source will typically ask for clarification of a diagnostic condition (e.g., “Does this client have ADHD?”). The client will meet with the testing psychologist for an initial intake and, pending on this intake, the client is scheduled for additional testing sessions. It is important to note that when psychological assessments are indicated for diagnostic clarifications, the diagnosis will rely on a combination of data gathered from clinical interviews, results of specific testings (sometimes called “testing instruments”) and, if needed, additional collateral information. Psychological testing offered at Hello Mental Health include a range of well-validated psychological instruments (e.g., the MMPI-2, the MMPI-3, the MCMI-IV, and others). The choice of psychological instruments depends upon the condition in question. After completion of the clinical and testing evaluations, the client is scheduled for a feedback session at which the results and conclusions of the evaluations are presented.
As you see, if you're navigating mental health concerns and seeking answers, psychological assessments can be a valuable tool to help you gain a deeper understanding of your well-being. At Hello Mental Health we are committed to provide you and/or your mental health provider with psychological assessments to further benefit you on your mental health journey.
