Assessment

I offer diagnostic assessments for a range of presenting concerns, focusing largely on mood and anxiety-related diagnoses. I have specific experience diagnosing the following concerns:

  • Post-traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)

  • Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD)

  • Anxiety Disorders (General Anxiety, Social Anxiety, Agoraphobia, etc.)

  • Mood Disorders (Major Depressive Disorder, Dysthymia/Persistent Depressive Disorder, etc.)

  • Substance Use Disorders

I offer a supportive, trauma-informed approach to my assessment to help us get a clear understanding of your presenting concerns. My approach aims to gather the information needed to establish or clarify a possible diagnosis, capture individual strengths and weaknesses, and inform effective treatment and recommendations. My assessments typically include a semi-structured interview as well as the completion of a number of psychological tests based on your presenting concerns. I have specific experience preparing assessments for Veteran’s Affairs Canada (see form pen-6248e)

The cost will vary based on the type of assessment and complexity of your presenting concerns. I only offer assessment services for psychological conditions within my scope of practice.
