Diagnostic Assessments

Building a Foundation for Effective Treatment

A diagnostic assessment is an in-depth evaluation that helps identify mental health needs and determine the most appropriate treatment options. During this appointment, a licensed mental health professional gathers information about current concerns, symptoms, personal history, emotional and social functioning, medical and mental health history, substance use, and current or past medications.

For children and adolescents, parents or guardians are typically involved in the assessment process. Following the evaluation, clients receive a diagnosis when appropriate, recommendations for treatment, and guidance regarding eligibility for mental health services. Diagnostic assessments are an important first step in developing a personalized plan for care and support.
