Integrated Psychiatric & Psychological Evaluation

The Front Door: PsychNow

Every family begins with our PsychNow digital intake—a structured tool that gathers history, rating scales, and narrative input before the first visit. It’s more than paperwork—it reduces first-day stress and ensures nothing is overlooked.

The Family Lens

Every evaluation includes a family assessment that looks at communication, cohesion, and flexibility.

Common Questions

Yes. Both the Cadillac and Hybrid include a school-ready summary. Core assessments support treatment within the clinic, with the option to step up if school documentation is needed.

Depending on the referral question: cognitive (WISC/WAIS), attention/executive (CPT, rating scales), learning/achievement (WIAT), personality/emotional instruments (MMPI, PAI, projectives). No cookie-cutter batteries—testing is always tailored.

The psychiatrist and psychologist review interviews, testing data, rating scales, and family assessment together. Their integrated formulation is then translated into a treatment plan.

We can escalate from Core → Hybrid → Cadillac if new questions emerge, without repeating prior work.
