What Is a Psychological Evaluation?
At Foothills at Red Oak Recovery®, families will be offered the opportunity to have their teenage son assessed by a psychologist. A time will then be set for the psychological evaluation to take place in a quiet and comforting setting.
An evaluation often includes formal assessments along with interviews. These tests will help determine the mental, emotional, or behavioral challenges your teen is experiencing and how we can best tailor their treatment plan to meet their specific needs.
What Information Will a Psychological Evaluation Provide?
Psychological evaluations can help provide numerous pieces of valuable information for you, your son and our team. Treatment is never one-size-fits-all, and psychological evaluations allows us to provide the most effective mental health treatment for your teen and to help you better understand the underlying reasons for your child’s struggles.
Psychological assessments can reveal information about the following:
- Personality traits
- Academic strengths and challenges
- Severity of psychological or emotional struggles
- Behaviors that are symptoms of anxiety or depression
- Behavioral patterns
- Known coping mechanisms and styles
- Reasons for aggressive behaviors
- Cognitive strengths and challenges
- Worldviews
- Stressors and pressures currently facing
- Learning style
- Trauma history and related symptoms
Once this information is gathered, our team will integrate it into your teen’s treatment plan. An individualized treatment plan is crucial to the effectiveness of treatment. Instead of having each client participate in each of our services, we create a plan that allows our clients to participate in the types of services that are needed most.
Psychological evaluations utilize valid and reliable measures to provide a clear diagnostic picture and inform the development of a treatment plan.
For example, a teen may be in need of depression treatment or anxiety treatment for unknown reasons. A comprehensive evaluation can uncover potential learning difficulties which are influencing the teen’s sense of self and fear of failure. Psychological evaluations give us the information we need to determine how to tailor our approach to best support your son during their time with us. Additionally, psychological assessments can help you understand how to better support and challenge him in the future.
