What does the process of Psychological Testing entail?
At Live Oak, the psychological testing process consists of three parts. First, a psychologist on our staff will meet with you to complete an in-depth clinical interview where you will be asked questions about your psychological history, your family history, and your social support. Following this first set of appointments, you will then be scheduled to complete a series of testing batteries based on the specific concerns you are hoping to address. These batteries consist of a series of self-report questionnaires, interactive question and answer forms, and puzzles. After you have completed all of the necessary tests, your psychologist will compile and analyze the data from your tests in order to write a final report. This final report will connect all of the information gathered throughout the testing process in order to create a comprehensive story to assist you and your treatment team and other social supports in understanding your areas of struggle and strength alike. You will meet with your psychologist in order to review the final report together and to make sure that you feel confident in your understanding of the information presented. Live Oak is especially skillful in offering Psychological testing to those who experience the world at the intersection of queerness and neurodiversity.
