What an adult assessment tells you
An adult psychological assessment is for the questions that have followed you around: why focus slips no matter what you try, why reading takes twice as long as it seems to for everyone else, why low mood keeps returning. Instead of another round of guessing, standardized testing shows how your attention, learning, memory and mood actually work — and what genuinely helps.
It is a collaborative process, not an exam. You bring the questions; the testing brings evidence; the report puts both together into something you can use at work, at school, with your doctor, or in therapy.
The right evaluation for your situation.
We'll help you identify the right assessment at intake, based on your goals, your age, and what you already know.

Why adults choose us for assessment.
A few things that tend to matter most when you're choosing where to be assessed.
-
Short waits, not long waitlists
Public wait lists can mean months of waiting. We keep our wait times short, so you can get answers when you need them.
-
We identify — or rule out
Our assessments aim to identify or rule out conditions such as learning disabilities, ADHD and autism spectrum disorder, so ruling something out is a useful answer too.
-
Built for accommodations
Your report includes concrete recommendations for accommodations at work, at university or college, and on professional exams.
-
Registered psychologist oversight
Every assessment is interpreted and signed by a registered psychologist, and the report is written to the professional standard expected for workplace accommodations, academic services and clinical referrals.
What the process looks like
A conversation about your questions
Before any testing, your psychologist sits down with you to understand what you want answered — what's been hard, since when, and what an answer would change.
Structured testing sessions
Standardized measures of attention, learning, memory and mood, spread over sessions that fit your schedule. There is nothing to study for — the tests describe how you work, not how hard you tried.
A written report, explained in person
Approximately 15 days after testing is complete you receive a written report in plain language, then a 20-minute session where your psychologist walks you through what it means and answers your questions.
A plan you can act on
Concrete recommendations — workplace or academic accommodations, therapy directions, referrals — tied to what the assessment actually found.
Named, credentialed people behind your report.
Your assessment is administered by a psychometrist and supervised, reviewed and signed by a psychologist — the people below, not an anonymous service.

Common questions
No. You can book an assessment directly with us — no physician referral is required. Some insurance plans ask for a referral before they reimburse psychological services, so it is worth checking your plan's fine print first.
It depends on the questions being answered. Most adult assessments involve an intake conversation, testing spread across a small number of sessions, and a feedback session to go through the report — typically over a few weeks rather than a single long day.
Assessment fees depend on the scope of the questions being answered — your Intake Specialist will walk you through the cost before anything is booked. Many extended health plans cover psychological services; check your plan's coverage for psychological assessment specifically.
The report is yours. Many people use it to arrange workplace or academic accommodations, to start therapy with a clearer focus, or to bring to their physician. Your psychologist's recommendations are written so you can act on them, and we can match you with a therapist for whatever comes next.
