Adult Psychological Assessments
Adult psychological assessments are comprehensive evaluations conducted by our Calgary psychologists to gain insight into an individual's emotional, cognitive, and behavioural functioning. These assessments employ a variety of standardized tests, interviews, and observations to assess factors such as personality traits, mental health conditions, cognitive abilities, and interpersonal functioning. The results of these assessments provide valuable diagnostic information, guiding treatment planning and therapeutic interventions tailored to each person's unique needs. Whether addressing specific concerns or promoting personal growth, adult psychological assessments empower individuals to better understand themselves and improve their overall well-being.

Some of the potential benefits of adult psychological assessments are:
​
-
Comprehensive Evaluation: Adult psychological assessments involve a thorough evaluation of various aspects of psychological functioning, including cognitive abilities, personality traits, emotional regulation, and interpersonal dynamics. By examining multiple domains, assessments provide a comprehensive picture of an individual's strengths, challenges, and areas for growth.
-
Identification of Mental Health Issues: Psychological assessments can help identify underlying mental health conditions such as depression, anxiety, or attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). By recognizing and diagnosing these conditions accurately, individuals can access appropriate treatment and support to manage symptoms effectively.
-
Tailored Treatment Planning and recommendations.
-
Validation and Normalization: For some individuals, undergoing a psychological assessment can provide validation and normalization of their experiences and struggles. Knowing that their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are recognized and understood can reduce feelings of shame, stigma, and isolation, fostering a sense of acceptance and belonging.
-
Empowerment and Decision-Making: With knowledge and insights from psychological assessment, individuals can make informed decisions, advocate for themselves, and proactively manage their mental health.
