Diagnostic Evaluations
Dr. Hampton provides diagnostic evaluations for children, adolescents, and adults to determine an accurate diagnosis for a specific mental health issue. Diagnostic evaluations provided are brief in nature and do not include full psychological testing. If full psychological testing is more clinically appropriate, related referrals will be provided.
Diagnostic evaluations are typically conducted in one or two appointments and include a clinical interview as well as multiple clinical assessments.
Diagnostic evaluations are valuable in supporting:
-
Treatment planning and therapeutic interventions
-
Medication management
-
Potential academic accommodations for children, adolescents, and college students
Diagnostic evaluations conducted are appropriate for issues such as ADHD, anxiety, depression, OCD, bipolar disorder, and children and adolescents with emotional and behavioral issues.
Diagnostic evaluations for Autism Spectrum Disorder are only provided for adults with moderate to high functioning Autism with the purpose of aiding in treatment.
