TESTING AND ASSESSMENT SERVICES
PSYCHOLOGICAL EVALUATION
Our team at Brighter Day Psychological Services are experts in working with children, adolescents, and adults to deliver psychological and vocational assessment services. Psychological testing involves a battery of assessment tools that are tailored to the individual’s expressed concerns. These assessments can include a variety of personality profiles, symptom inventories, and behavioral reports. The goal of testing is to obtain data from a wide selection of sources, which provides a comprehensive representation of the individual’s psychological status.
VOCATIONAL EVALUATION
The comprehensive review of specific work characteristics, including but not limited to occupational interests, specific job skills, worker traits, general intelligence, temperaments, physical capacities, strength, and other work-related functions and aptitudes. Vocational testing can be particularly useful for adolescents, young adults, and persons contemplating a mid-life career change. These assessments help determine which occupations best fit with an individual's abilities, interests, and personality.
PRE-SURGICAL BARIATRIC PSYCHOLOGICAL EVALUATION
Bariatric surgery offers patients the opportunity to reach their weight loss goal that can be maintained over time; however, bariatric surgery has inherent risks. The individuals undergoing the process must make long-term behavioral changes to maintain success. As a result, as part of the bariatric surgery process, most insurance companies require a psychological evaluation in order to determine their appropriateness for surgery.
IMMIGRATION EVALUATION
Psychological Evaluations for immigration purposes are a psychological evaluation that is used to help immigration courts determine whether an individual will be able to remain lawfully in the United States. The immigration evaluation includes in-depth interviews and assessments that occur over the course of 2 to 3 meetings.
