Understand the full picture
Whether you already have a diagnosis or are still seeking clarity, we take a closer look at your health and history to ensure your care plan is aligned with what you need.
When is a diagnostic evaluation appropriate?
You want clarity before changing treatment
A thorough evaluation helps ensure changes are based on an accurate diagnosis.
Your previous care felt rushed or incomplete
Running a more thorough evaluation helps catch what may have been overlooked.
Your symptoms don’t fit neatly into one label
Taking a closer look clarifies what’s driving your symptoms so treatment is more precise.
You want a clear starting point
Aligning diagnosis, medication, and therapy early helps keep progress steady.
A thoughtful, structured conversation about you
Your evaluation is dedicated time to speak openly about what you’ve been experiencing.
It’s not an interrogation or a checklist, but a structured conversation designed to clarify and untangle your symptoms so we can determine what truly fits and what comes next.
- A dedicated 60-minute evaluation
- A careful review of your health and history
- Space to speak openly and ask questions
- Clear next steps before you leave
What to prepare
There’s no need to prepare perfectly. If it’s helpful, consider reflecting on when your symptoms began, what has changed over time, and any prior treatments you’ve tried.
- Bring a list of current medications or supplements
- Note past diagnoses or treatments, if known
- Think about what feels most pressing right now
- Come ready to speak honestly

Frequently
asked questions
What is a diagnostic evaluation?
A diagnostic evaluation is a comprehensive first visit where your provider takes time to understand your symptoms, history, concerns, and goals. It helps us gain a clear picture of your mental health and determine the best next steps for care.
What can a diagnostic evaluation help with?
A diagnostic evaluation can help identify concerns such as anxiety, depression, ADHD, mood changes, trauma-related symptoms, difficulty focusing, sleep issues, and other mental health challenges. It is designed to bring clarity and direction to your care.
What happens during the appointment?
During the visit, your provider will review your symptoms, personal history, mental health history, and any past treatment experiences. You will have time to talk through what you have been experiencing so we can better understand your needs and begin building a plan for care.
Is treatment included in the evaluation process?
Yes. The evaluation is part of the treatment process. It is the starting point that helps your provider make recommendations for care, which may include medication management, therapy, additional support, or ongoing follow-up visits depending on your needs.
Do I need to know my diagnosis before booking?
No. You do not need to know exactly what is going on before getting started. That is what the evaluation is for. Our goal is to help you better understand what you are experiencing and guide you toward the right care.
Why is a diagnostic evaluation important?
A thorough diagnostic evaluation helps make sure your care is thoughtful, personalized, and based on your full picture, not just a few symptoms. It gives you a strong foundation for treatment and helps ensure you are matched with the right support.
