Psychological Testing

In many ways, psychological testing and assessment are similar to medical tests. Just as a primary care provider might order X-rays or blood tests to understand physical symptoms, psychologists use tests and other assessment tools to measure and observe a patient’s behavior. The results of these tests help in the development of a diagnosis and guide treatment. Psychologists administer various types of tests for different purposes.

What To Expect from Psychological Testing

At Valley Psychological Group, psychological assessments are conducted with care and precision to provide a deeper understanding of each client’s unique strengths, challenges, and needs. The testing process may involve interviews, standardized assessments, and behavioral observations designed to assess areas such as:

 

  • Cognitive functioning and learning styles

  • Emotional and behavioral patterns

  • Attention and executive functioning

  • Personality and interpersonal dynamics

  • Diagnostic clarification to guide treatment planning

 

After testing is complete, clients receive a comprehensive report and feedback session to discuss results, recommendations, and next steps. Our goal is to ensure that every client leaves with greater clarity and a personalized path toward improved functioning and well-being.
