WHAT WE TREAT
The Mental Health Collective often uses psychological testing and other assessment tools to measure and observe our client’s behavior to arrive at a diagnosis and guide our goals for outcome driven treatment. As part of a multi-team diagnostic process, a psychological test can be helpful in providing objectivity to neurodiverse conditions, personality constructs as well as diagnose mood disorders with greater accuracy than some clients have received in out-patient treatment. Psychological testing can be a good way for clients to better understand themselves and gain insight into their challenges and strengths.
