What to Expect from the Evaluation Process

Our goal at Indigo Therapy Group is to make testing approachable and transparent. A psychiatric evaluation for adults typically involves several key steps:

Initial Consultation – You’ll meet with a licensed psychologist to discuss your background, symptoms, and goals for assessment.

Testing Session(s) – Depending on your needs, you may complete questionnaires, cognitive exercises, or structured interviews focused on attention, memory, emotional functioning, and personality.

Scoring and Interpretation – Your clinician reviews results and compares them to clinical data to form a clear diagnostic picture.

Feedback Session – You’ll receive a comprehensive written report and meet to discuss results, recommendations, and next steps.
