Assessments
A psychological evaluation is often thought of as the first line of defense in diagnosing and treating a mental health condition. Performed by a psychologist, it helps them gain an understanding of the severity and duration of your symptoms.
Tests and assessments are the two main components used in an evaluation. The testing part of an evaluation typically includes using formal tests, or “norm-referenced” tests. These are standardized tests that measure an individual’s ability to learn and understand several concepts.
- Personality, Emotional, and Behavioral Assessments
- Sports and Performance Measures
- Psychoeducational Testing
- Neuropsychological Evaluations
- Forensic Assessments
There isn’t a one-size-fits-all evaluation. Each one will be tailored to you and your needs by Dr. Mathis.
Psychotherapy Treatment
Psychotherapy (sometimes called talk therapy) refers to a variety of treatments that aim to help a person identify and change troubling emotions, thoughts, and behaviors. Most psychotherapy takes place when a licensed mental health professional and a patient meet one-on-one or with other patients in a group setting.
- Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy / Rational-Emotive-Behavior Therapy / Dialectic Behavioral Therapy
- Adlerian Therapy
- Reality Therapy
Psychotherapy can be used as an alternative to or alongside medication and other treatment options. Choosing the right treatment plan should be based on a person’s individual needs and medical situation and occur under the guidance of a mental health professional.
