Compass provides comprehensive psychological testing. Psychological testing is often used to provide diagnostic clarification, guide the selection of the most appropriate treatment, assess a particular area of functioning or disability, highlight vocational interests and identify family patterns that impact individual’s functioning.
Compass focuses on providing timely feedback and practical treatment recommendations that are understandable to the individual, the family, and the referral source. We like to think of testing as a therapeutic process where the client learns new ways of thinking about him/her self, where families understand their patterns of functioning and what steps they need to take to make a change. Our goal is to use testing to provide greater insight into a psychological or family issue and identify clear and practical solutions to the
problem.
Process of psychological assessment includes:
- Initial interview
- Use of a variety of instruments such as tests, inventories, questionnaires, and scales
- Scoring and interpretation of the testing results
- Report writing
- Follow up session during which the psychologist will go over the report and provide feedback to the individual or the family
