心理评估：
写给大家的话
If you’re feeling the impact of mental struggles in your life, or if you’re noticing it in your child, it can sometimes feel impossible even to begin the process of recovery. You may not know where to go, or what kind of therapy will be most beneficial. These decisions can be challenging at the best of times, and it feels even more complicated when dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, anger management issues, or any other mental hurdle.
心理评估如何帮助您
An assessment might be useful to uncover what might be causing distress in your life. Through the assessment, we identify your strengths, vulnerabilities, and struggles.
On this page, we will provide some general guidelines on what to expect if you decide to complete an assessment at our second division – Sparkling Seeds.

心理评估如何进行
Our second division, Sparkling Seeds, offers assessment for adults and children ages 3 and older. Sparkling Seeds strives to support the diverse needs of children, youth, and families. Adult assessment consists of a semi-structured clinical interview with the client. If the assessment is for a child, we’ll interview their parent(s) or caregiver(s). Throughout the interview, we collect as much information as we can, ensuring we provide the best, most precise mental care. The duration depends on the type of assessment.
From here, we continue to learn about you through a series of standardized tests. These measures are psychometric, meaning they have been researched, are evidenced-based, and are reliable in gaining accurate and valuable insights into your mental health. The formats of the tests we perform vary. Some tests may involve completing questionnaires, while others may use toys for children to complete tasks in the assessment.
When we’ve finished the interview and the testing, we compile everything we’ve learned, analyzing and interpreting the results to create a detailed report. If we have a diagnosis, we’ll include it in this report, along with an array of recommendations and supports. The Psychologist will go over this report, answer any questions you might have, and begin a discussion on treatment options.
