Assessment

A directed course of treatment first starts with a sound assessment.

While emotions can be overwhelming, discussing them with a professional can be a first step towards making things clearer.

Prior to starting treatment, individuals are seen by Dr. Chattha for an initial assessment appointment to gain a better understanding of what problems are being experienced. Depending on the nature of the presenting difficulties, this appointment is generally about 1.5 hours and it is an opportunity for Dr. Chattha to conceptualize the problems you are experiencing and use this information to construct a tentative treatment plan. Having an assessment and a focused course of treatment can help to make therapy less confusing. It can also be an opportunity for you to become an active participant in treatment by being informed and perhaps looking at your symptoms in a different way.

 

Specialized assessment may also be available upon request and includes:

- psychoeducational testing

- psycholegal assessment

- comprehensive psychological or personality testing
