Assessment & Testing
Psychological testing can be an intimidating concept, but in reality, it is a powerful and highly useful tool designed to help the client. Doctors, therapists, educators, lawyers, and employee assistance professionals frequently refer their clients for psychological testing and assessments. These tests and assessments can help the client identify the core issues by measuring and observing a client's behavior to arrive at a diagnosis and guide treatment.
