More Info About My Practice
Rock Springs provides psychological testing in the outskirts of Denver, Colorado (Arvada). Psychological testing is for children, adolescents, and adults. It involves a complex process of evaluating an individual to gain an understanding of how they uniquely function. Using interviews and a battery of tests, information is obtained and integrated to produce a comprehensive report.
The psychological testing will determine whether a person has any specific diagnosis related to learning, mood disturbance, personality, or relationship problems. Based on the results of the testing, a diagnosis can be made, and recommendations can determine a treatment plan, assist in medication planning, and identify the best academic accommodations and placement.
Many psychological conditions share overlapping symptoms, making an accurate diagnosis essential for effective treatment. For example, inattention can be a symptom of ADHD, anxiety, depression, trauma, or even a head injury. Through comprehensive psychological testing, we can differentiate between these conditions, ensuring that each client receives the correct diagnosis and the most appropriate treatment plan, accommodations, and interventions for their unique needs.
