What is Psychometric Testing?
Psychometric testing is a specialized form of assessment that evaluates your cognitive, emotional, and behavioral health.
Through a series of tests, we can help identify conditions such as:
- ADHD
- Anxiety Disorders
- Depression
- Mood Disorders
- Autism Spectrum Disorders
- Cognitive Functioning Issues
- Learning Disabilities
In addition to these, we offer neuropsychological evaluations that provide a detailed analysis of cognitive functioning, focusing on areas such as memory, attention, problem-solving, and learning abilities. This is especially useful for diagnosing learning disabilities and understanding how brain functioning affects behavior and development.
This comprehensive approach offers a full picture of your mental and cognitive health, helping you and your healthcare provider make informed decisions about the best treatment path for you.
