The purpose of psychological evaluations is to determine what is happening in someone’s life that may be inhibiting their ability to perform, think, behave, feel, or achieve in more appropriate or constructive way either at home, school, or the workplace.

There are many types of psychological evaluations that are used for personal insight, performance in school or college, or for workplace performance. A psychologist will administer and interpret the results and be able to determine what, if any, diagnoses, disorder, or disabilities a client may or may not have; as well as indicate relative strengths and challenges. This information is used to provide recommendations, interventions, and treatment options for the client.
