Our Comprehensive Assessments & Evaluations
At Osage Valley Counseling LLC, our comprehensive assessments and evaluations provide an in-depth understanding of cognitive, behavioral, and neurological functioning. Unlike psychotherapy intakes (which are designed to gather background information for beginning treatment), these evaluations are structured, data-driven processes that aim to answer specific questions, validate diagnoses, and guide targeted recommendations.
These assessments go beyond conversation. They may include standardized testing, clinical interviews, symptom inventories, reviewing records from collateral sources, and, when appropriate, utilizing advanced tools such as quantitative electroencephalogram (qEEG) brain mapping and neurocognitive screenings to identify patterns that may not be immediately observable in psythotherapy sessions.
