Psychological Evaluations
A Clear Picture of Where You Are
Before treatment begins, it helps to understand the full picture. A psychological evaluation at NorthStar is a comprehensive look at your mental health, your physical health, and what’s happening in your life. It gives our team the information they need to recommend the right kind of care for you.
Evaluations are conducted by licensed professionals in a private, respectful setting. You’ll have the chance to talk about what you’re experiencing, answer questions about your history, and ask anything you need to ask. There’s no judgment here.
What to Expect
A psychological evaluation for adults at NorthStar typically includes a review of your mental health history, current symptoms, substance use history (if applicable), and your overall life circumstances. Based on what we learn, our team will work with you to build a treatment plan that fits.
Evaluations are often the first step in treatment, but they can also be requested by courts, employers, or other providers. If you’ve been referred to for an evaluation, our team will walk you throughout the process so you know what to expect.
