Psychological Assessment

Psychologists are uniquely qualified to conduct psychological tests that provide a greater understanding of certain problems. Psychological and neuropsychological tests are well researched and validated techniques that can assess a problem in ways that neither medical tests nor “talk therapy” can do.

Depending on the type of problem, individuals are sometimes referred for testing by their physician, school, employer, or the legal system. If the testing appears appropriate for you, you will meet with Dr. Oldenburg or Dr. Minerd for an initial interview to clearly identify the problem and its history so that suitable psychological tests can be chosen. After the testing is completed, a report summarizing the results of the testing will be available to you, and with your permission, to the person who referred you.
