Psychological Evaluation
Legacy Behavioral Health Center, Inc. offers Psychological evaluations, assessments in English, Spanish, French, and most other languages with the use of trained translators. Our Psychologists administer tests and assessments for a wide variety of reasons. Test and assessments are two separate but related components of psychological evaluation. Psychologists use both types to arrive at an understanding of the patient, diagnosis, and treatment.
Psychological assessment is often helpful in understanding the strengths and challenges someone may have in their cognitive, behavioral, and emotional functioning. This process allows for diagnostic clarity, and individualized recommendations and the psychological tests offer a formal way to measure traits, feelings, beliefs, and abilities that can lead to people’s problems.
