Testing and Evaluation Therapists in Rolling Meadows, IL
My philosophy to treatment is to "test first so there are no questions later!" This means the first step is to identify all the major factors contributing to your problem, as well as any smaller problems that could be having an impact. Often, what seems to be one problem is really something else entirely. This diagnostic clarity is accomplished by administering a battery of tests personalized to your unique presentation. By identifying specific areas in need of intervention, the rate of recovery increases and much more targeted treatments can be implemented.

I offer neuropsychological assessment services for individuals with known or suspected neurobehavioral changes via comprehensive testing of attention, language, memory, spatial/motor skills, executive functioning and mood. Please note that I do not provide psychotherapy, counseling, or medication-based treatment. Neuropsychological assessment involves testing of cognitive skills (i.e., attention, memory, etc) and mood/personality. Testing sessions are 4 hours in length. Results are included in a report that is reviewed with the patient and sent to their referring provider within approximately 2-4 weeks.

The field of therapy and mental health is poorly regulated, meaning there are many professionals practicing with little to no training and experience. As a result, many people receive services that don't address all of their mental health needs. At Guada Psych, all of our clinicians have strong training backgrounds and utilize a trauma-informed approach. We also want to know if our treatments are working, so we measure peoples' progress during therapy. This intentional and goal-focused approach to our work, combined with our compassionate and experienced staff, puts us ahead of any private practice out there.

Testing and Evaluation Therapists
What is a psychological evaluation?
A psychological evaluation is a test or assessment most commonly administered by a trained psychologist that is intended to be used in the diagnosis of specific psychological conditions, such as ADHD, mood disorders, personality disorders, dementia or Alzheimer's, and learning disabilities. Psychological evaluations can help inform future treatment decisions and help direct clients to professionals and resources that may be most helpful, such as potential therapy options or additional school supports.
Can psychological evaluations be done on individuals of any age group?
Psychological evaluations are conducted on individuals of all ages and can be beneficial to individuals across the lifespan. However, specific types of evaluations may be most frequently conducted on individuals of certain age groups. For instance, ADHD or learning disability testing is often conducted in children ages 4-12--the period of time when ADHD symptoms most commonly emerge. In contrast, cognitive functioning assessments, such as those conducted to diagnose dementia, are most commonly conducted in elderly individuals. Clients should ensure that the psychologist they are seeing has specific expertise in conducting evaluations in their age group to ensure they receive a correct diagnosis.
How long does a psychological evaluation take?
Psychological evaluations vary in length depending on the test being administered and the goals of the evaluation; however, most evaluations are 2-4 hours in length. Some evaluations may take as long as 8 hours but can often be spread across multiple days. In some cases, clients will also attend an intake session or interview, which can help the psychologist assess client functioning outside of the testing environment.
How should I prepare for a psychological test and evaluation?
Individuals do not need to prepare for psychological tests or evaluations in most cases, as they are intended to measure a client's baseline psychological status without test-specific preparation. However, clients may want to brainstorm a list of questions for their psychologist about any tests they are receiving prior to the assessment, including what potential outcomes may mean for what next steps the client should take.
