Accurate diagnoses and thorough recommendations.
Are you tired of struggling to find accurate answers to your mental health concerns? Are you unsure about the diagnoses you have received? Do you feel that your diagnosis does not accurately explain what is going on with you or your child? Have you felt lost about where to go next or how to get the best, personalized help for your situation? Then look no further.
​
At Healing Spaces Psychological Services, we offer comprehensive psychological evaluations tailored to your unique needs. We meticulously examine various aspects of your psychological well-being, including cognitive abilities, emotional patterns, social interactions, and academic or work performance. This holistic approach ensures that we provide a thorough evaluation that leaves no stone unturned.
​
A psychological evaluation or assessment can help you understand your cognitive abilities, social skills, emotions, behaviors, academic achievements, and personality. These assessments can be used to diagnose:
-
ADHD: Gain clarity on attention and hyperactivity concerns.
-
Autism: Understand social, communication, and behavioral patterns.
-
Anxiety and OCD: Identify and manage persistent worries and compulsions.
-
Depression: Diagnose the underlying causes of prolonged sadness and loss of interest.
-
Intellectual Disability: Assess cognitive functioning and adaptive behaviors.
-
Specific Learning Disabilities: Identify challenges in language, reading, writing, and/or mathematics.
-
Personality Disorders: Understand patterns of thinking, feeling, and behavior.
-
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD): Address the effects of traumatic experiences.
-
& more. We cover a wide range of conditions to ensure you get the most accurate diagnosis.
​
Our assessments are specifically tailored to individuals facing complex challenges. This means that we take into account the unique and multifaceted nature of your situation. Whether you are dealing with multiple diagnoses, a history of complex trauma, or significant mental health, social, academic, or vocational difficulties, our evaluations are designed to address all aspects of your experience.
​
We understand that each person’s psychological landscape is unique, and a one-size-fits-all approach simply won't work. That's why our assessments are personalized to consider your specific symptoms, life circumstances, and individual needs. By doing so, we can provide a more accurate diagnosis and develop a treatment plan that is truly effective for you.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get started?
We begin with a virtual intake assessment. This session is conducted either with the client or, if the client is a minor, with their caregivers. During this interview, we gather essential background information to customize the evaluation to meet your specific needs.
​
The fastest and most convenient way to schedule an appointment is through our online portal. You can also complete the form below. The day of testing will be scheduled at the end of this appointment.
​
What does a comprehensive evaluation entail?
We will assess for academic achievement, behavioral functioning, cognitive/intellectual abilities, social functioning, trauma, personality or emerging personality, and executive functioning. Referrals commonly involve inquiries about ADHD, autism, anxiety, bipolar disorder, depression, learning disorders, and trauma/PTSD.
​
Will the evaluation assess ALL of those areas?
Our evaluations are comprehensive, yet tailored to your individual needs. If the purpose of the evaluation is to assess for learning disorders, then the evaluation will focus heavily on testing cognitive ability, educational achievement, and executive functioning, and we will screen for any emotional and/or social difficulties. If the concern is primarily emotional or behavioral-based, then our evaluation will focus on assessing those areas in detail, and educational achievement may only be screened, as an example. ​
What is the waitlist for an evaluation?
At Healing Spaces, we work diligently and efficiently to get you in and out as quickly as possible. We typically do not maintain a waitlist, ensuring that evaluations are scheduled on a first-come, first-served basis. However, we typically can schedule the intake appointment within 2-4 weeks.
​
The day of testing is usually scheduled during the intake appointment, and based on availability, can be scheduled within two weeks of the intake appointment. However, during peak periods, scheduling may extend beyond that.
To secure your spot and avoid delays, we encourage you to schedule your appointment as soon as possible. The fastest and most convenient way to schedule an appointment is through our online portal. You can also complete the form below.
​
If you require an expedited evaluation with results within 14 days (from start to finish), please specify this in your request. Additional fees apply.
What does the process look like?
The evaluation is scheduled in three parts:
-
A 60-minute virtual intake appointment with the client or guardian of a minor. You can schedule this online.
-
The day of testing, which is typically 4-6 hours. A second (or third) day may be scheduled as needed.
-
A 60-minute virtual feedback session to go over the results of the evaluation.
​
There are also things happening behind the scenes (e.g., scoring assessments, report writing, contacting teachers, etc.). We aim to schedule the feedback session 14-21 days after the completion of the assessment (day of testing).
​Is payment due immediately?
No, payment is typically split into three payments: There is a fee due on the day of the intake appointment, half of the remaining balance is due on the day of testing, and the final half is due on the day of the feedback session.
​Do you accept insurance?
No. We can provide you with a superbill to submit to your insurance company for potential reimbursement. If your child has Home State Health, we can bill them directly for testing. Please note that Medicaid limits the amount of testing we can do (e.g., 2 hours of testing). To get started, we need to verify eligibility first. Please complete this form to provide your information, and someone will get back to you within 3 business days.
