These types of assessments can offer you clarity around which psychiatric disorders you meet criteria for and what treatment options are available to you. Some clients seek these assessments out because they may have been diagnosed with several psychiatric disorders in the past and are not sure which ones they may continue to meet criteria for. Others have felt they were misdiagnosed in the past or have had suspicions they meet criteria for one or more psychiatric disorders. You are welcome to book a stand-alone assessment or ask for this service as part of your therapeutic journey with Kay or Kat.
Over the course of 2 to 3, 50-minute sessions, you will be asked questions about your mental and medical health, family history, attachment and struggles you may have had regulating emotions, substance use, how mental health symptoms have impacted you and/or others, personality styles, and treatment history. Kay Vinova or Dr. Kat Merwin will also ask you to fill out a number of self-report measures. If requested, the assessor can provide a detailed report or summary letter.
