Psychological Assessments
At Renew Psychotherapy, we offer comprehensive diagnostic psychological assessments to help individuals, legal professionals, and healthcare providers gain a deeper understanding of mental health challenges.
Whether you’ve experienced a motor vehicle accident (MVA), workplace injury (WSIB), service-related trauma (VAC), or simply seek clarity around personal concerns, our assessments provide valuable insight and guide effective treatment planning.
What Is a Diagnostic Psychological Assessment?
A diagnostic psychological assessment is a structured, in-depth evaluation conducted by our clinical psychologists. It typically involves a clinical interview, filling out standardized psychological measures, and the collection of relevant history.
The goal is to:
- Identify potential mental health diagnoses (DSM-5-TR).
- Clarify emotional or behavioral concerns.
- Highlight individual strengths and areas of need.
- Provide evidence-based treatment recommendations.
Who Can Benefit?
We conduct assessments for a broad range of needs, including:
- Personal injury, including Motor Vehicle Accidents (MVA)
- Workplace injury (Workplace Safety and Insurance Board (WSIB))
- Veterans and First Responders (BlueCross and Veterans Affairs Canada (VAC))
- Private Assessments for individuals.
Our team’s specialized experience ensures a thorough, unbiased evaluation that meets the requirements of insurers, legal professionals, and other referring parties.
What to Expect
The process involves several steps:
Initial Intake/Consultation: We’ll gather background information and discuss any concerns or symptoms you’ve been experiencing.
Clinical Interview: Our psychologists will ask detailed questions to gain additional context about your personal, medical, and mental health history.
Psychological Measures/Questionnaires: You’ll complete standardized psychological questionnaires designed to measure specific areas such as mood, behaviors, personality, or trauma-related symptoms.
Results & Recommendations: Following the assessment, you’ll receive a report with a clear diagnosis (if applicable) and a set of recommendations. This may include psychotherapy, referrals to other specialists, or strategies for better day-to-day functioning.
