Psychological Testing
At Lee Therapy and Assessment, we offer testing to children as young as 3 years old.
Psychological testing is a standardized, evidence-based process designed to evaluate an individual’s cognitive, emotional, and behavioral functioning through the use of validated assessment tools. Much like medical diagnostic tests provide objective data on physical health, psychological assessments offer a comprehensive profile of a person’s mental health by integrating clinical interviews, standardized tasks, and systematic behavioral observations. This rigorous process allows clinicians to move beyond subjective impressions, providing the data-driven insights necessary to clarify complex diagnoses, identify specific cognitive strengths and weaknesses, and develop highly tailored treatment or educational plans. By synthesizing information from multiple sources, psychological testing serves as a foundational component in establishing an accurate clinical picture and ensuring that subsequent interventions are both effective and targeted to the individual's unique needs.
*The terms psychological “assessment,” “evaluation,” or “testing” are often used interchangeably.
What is psychological testing?
Who should get a psychological assessment?
Psychological assessment can be helpful for anyone experiencing challenges with learning, memory, attention, mood, or behavior that are affecting their daily life. If you or your child are struggling in school, at work, or in relationships and aren’t sure why, an assessment can help identify the underlying causes and guide next steps. It is also useful for those seeking clarity about a diagnosis, needing documentation for educational or workplace accommodations, or noticing changes in thinking or emotional well-being. Psychological testing provides valuable information for people of all ages who want to better understand themselves and find effective ways to move forward.
How do I get scheduled for an assessment?
To schedule a psychological assessment, you can contact our office directly by phone (940-228-3803) or email (leetherapyandassessment@leetherapy.org). Many individuals are referred for testing by their doctor, therapist, psychiatrist, or other healthcare professional, but you may also reach out on your own if you have concerns. Our staff will discuss your needs, answer any questions, and guide you through the process of setting up an initial appointment. During this first visit, we will gather information about your situation and determine which type of assessment is most appropriate. We will review necessary paperwork, discuss fees or insurance coverage, and help you prepare for the testing session. If you are seeking an assessment for a child or adolescent, a parent or guardian will typically be involved in the scheduling and intake process. Our goal is to make the process as straightforward and supportive as possible, so please reach out if you need assistance or have questions.
