What does an Evaluation look like?
An evaluation consists of 2 parts. First, you will complete a biopsychosocial interview with your counselor which includes assessment of current or recent mental health symptoms and struggles. Second, you will complete a self paced assessment on a tablet which is designed to help identify any current or relevant mental health concerns along with corroborating the contents of the verbal interview.
It is estimated that the entire evaluation should take approximately 2 hours to complete, however it can run shorter or longer depending on the individual.
