Psychological Testing & Assessment

Understanding Psychological Testing at 3Rivers Therapists

When symptoms feel confusing, overlapping, or hard to explain, psychological testing can help bring clarity.

At 3Rivers Therapists, we provide comprehensive psychological testing for adults and children ages 8+ to bring clarity to complex concerns and help guide thoughtful, informed next steps.

Psychological Testing for Adults

Psychological testing for adults can be especially helpful when challenges have been long-standing or difficult to fully understand through therapy alone.

Testing for adults may help clarify concerns related to:

• Attention, focus, and executive functioning (including ADHD)

• Memory, organization, or follow-through

• Emotional regulation, anxiety, or mood concerns

• Limited progress in therapy and a need for deeper insight

• Medication effectiveness or diagnostic confirmation

• Workplace or academic accommodations

• Understanding long-standing patterns that impact relationships or work

Our adult evaluations focus on understanding the full picture, not just a single diagnosis.

Psychological Testing for Children (Ages 8+)

For children, psychological testing can help parents and caregivers better understand why a child may be struggling — and what supports will actually help.

Testing for children ages 8+ may be appropriate when there are concerns about:

• Attention, focus, or impulsivity (including ADHD)

• Academic challenges in reading, writing, or math

• Executive functioning skills (organization, planning, memory)

• Social skills or emotional regulation

• Behavioral concerns at home or school

• A need for updated testing to support school accommodations or treatment planning

Our child evaluations are developmentally appropriate, supportive, and focused on both strengths and areas of need.

What Our Testing Includes

Our evaluations use a whole-person approach, often combining:

• Cognitive and learning assessments

• Attention and executive functioning testing

• Social-emotional and behavioral measures

• Personality and emotional regulation screening

We integrate testing data with interviews, history, and rating scales to provide clear diagnoses and practical recommendations.

Our Testing Process

1. Intake & Screening
   Background information and screening measures help determine whether testing is appropriate.

2. In-Person Testing
   Testing is completed over one or more appointments (typically 3–5 hours total).

3. Comprehensive Report
   You receive a full written psychological evaluation.

4. Feedback Session
   Results are reviewed together, with clear recommendations and next steps.

Insurance & Cost

Insurance is accepted for psychological testing. Coverage varies by plan, and some plans require pre-authorization. You’ll receive a cost estimate before testing begins, and billing details are reviewed clearly during intake.

Ready for Clarity?

If you’re feeling stuck, unsure, or overwhelmed by unanswered questions, psychological testing can help provide direction and relief.

You don’t have to keep guessing. We’ll help you understand what’s going on and what support will be most helpful.
