What we assess
We provide comprehensive psychological assessments to help individuals gain clarity, validation, and direction in managing their mental health. Our assessments are thorough, evidence-based, and personalized; you walk away with a clear diagnosis and concrete recommendations for next steps.
ADHD Assessments
Comprehensive evaluations for children and adults. Difficulty focusing, missed deadlines, restlessness, emotional dysregulation- if you've been wondering, a formal assessment gives you a clear answer and a real plan.
Anxiety Assessments
Structured evaluation to identify the severity of symptoms, determine specific anxiety disorders such as generalized anxiety, social anxiety, or panic disorder, and develop a personalized treatment plan.
Depression Assessments
A thorough evaluation of mood, energy, motivation, and daily functioning helps to distinguish between different types of depression and determine the best course of treatment.
OCD Assessments
Clarity on the presence and severity of obsessive thoughts and compulsive behaviours, distinguishing OCD from other anxiety-related conditions, so you can access the right support.
PTSD Assessments
Identifying the impact of trauma on daily life, clarifying symptom severity, and providing guidance on effective treatment options, whether the trauma is recent or long-standing.
If any of this sounds familiar
Whether you’re seeking clarity for yourself or your child, the path to a diagnosis is rarely simple. You’ve likely been doing your own research for months, maybe years. A formal assessment is how you finally get a clear answer and a real plan.
Why a formal assessment matters
ADHD, anxiety, depression, OCD, and PTSD can look different in everyone. Symptoms often overlap, coexist, or mask each other entirely, which is why getting a comprehensive assessment from an experienced clinician matters so much.
At Inspire Wellness Therapy, our assessments are thorough, evidence-based, and personalized. You walk away with a clear diagnosis (or clarity that it isn’t what you suspected), a detailed written report, and concrete recommendations for next steps, whether that means therapy, medication referral, school accommodations, or workplace support.
Our approach is rooted in evidence-based practices, using clinical interviews, standardized assessment tools, and tailored interventions to help you understand your symptoms and develop effective strategies for the future.
How our assessments work
A comprehensive assessment is more than a single appointment. It’s a structured, multi-step process that gives your clinician the complete picture they need to make an accurate diagnosis and develop meaningful recommendations.
Intake and clinical interview
We start with a detailed conversation about what’s bringing you in, your history, your current challenges, and what you’re hoping to learn. For child assessments, we meet with parents first to gather background and developmental history.
Standardized testing and questionnaires
You or your child completes validated psychological measures designed to assess attention, executive function, mood, and related areas. For children, we also gather input from teachers and other adults who see them in different settings.
Clinical analysis and interpretation
Your clinician reviews all the information gathered, looks for patterns, and considers other conditions that may be at play. ADHD often overlaps with anxiety, depression, or learning differences — and a good assessment accounts for that.
Feedback session and written report
You receive a detailed feedback session in which we walk through the findings, answer your questions, and discuss next steps. You also receive a comprehensive written report for your physician, school, employer, or post-secondary institution.
What you walk away with
The goal of an assessment isn’t a label. It’s actionable information that helps you, or your child, move forward with confidence and the right support.
You receive a clear diagnostic answer, whether or not the condition you suspected is the right framework for what you’re experiencing. Your detailed written report documents the assessment process, findings, and recommendations, and for many clients, that report becomes the key that unlocks medication, school accommodations, post-secondary support, workplace adjustments, or a clearer therapy plan.
Beyond the formal documentation, you also walk away with a much deeper understanding of how your brain (or your child’s brain) actually works, the strengths, the challenges, the patterns. That self-knowledge alone can be transformative.
Life after your assessmen
You finally have a clear answer
The years of wondering, second-guessing, and explaining yourself are over. You know what’s actually going on, which means you can stop guessing and start acting on real information.
You can access the right support
The written report opens doors. Medication consultations, school IEPs and accommodations, post-secondary disability services, workplace adjustments, whatever the right next step is, you have what you need to take it.
You see yourself (or your child) differently
The labels you’ve been carrying, “lazy,” “difficult,” “not living up to potential”, give way to a more accurate, more compassionate understanding. Both for yourself and from the people around you.
The first step is a clear answer. Let's get you one.
