Frequently Asked Questions

What is a psychological assessment?

A psychological assessment is a comprehensive evaluation that helps us understand how you think, learn, and process information. It typically involves interviews, standardized tests, and questionnaires. The goal is to provide clarity about your unique cognitive profile and practical recommendations for support.

How long does an assessment take?

Most assessments require 4-8 hours of testing, typically spread across 2-3 sessions. This allows for breaks and ensures we get an accurate picture of your abilities. The timeline from initial consultation to final report is usually 2-4 weeks.

Do you diagnose autism in adults?

Yes, we provide autism assessments for adults. Many people don't receive a diagnosis until adulthood, and we approach these evaluations with sensitivity to the unique experiences of late-identified individuals.

What should I expect in therapy?

Therapy at Trailhead is a collaborative process. In your first few sessions, we'll get to know each other and identify what you want to work on. From there, we'll develop an approach that fits your needs, communication style, and goals.
