Our Process
Initial Consultation
Data Gathering
Collaborative Feedback
At Green Country Psychology, we approach testing in a collaborative way to ensure that you and your referrals are receiving the most useful information and feedback
The steps of an evaluation fall into three broad categories:
-
Initial Consultation – to understand the questions you want to be answered about your child, yourself, or the circumstances.
-
Data Gathering – from a variety of sources: empirically supported psychological tests, direct interview, collateral interviews, observation, computerized testing, objective and projective data, previous assessments, consultations with professionals, review of legal material (when forensic focused).
-
Collaborative Feedback– with parents, family, business, clinician, physician, or legal entity requesting the evaluation. Feedback often includes a written psychological evaluation report and often includes verbal feedback with an opportunity to ask questions and seek clarification about the findings.
