Therapy works better when we know more about what we’re working with. Assessment gives both of us a clearer picture, outside the subjectivity of the therapy relationship itself.
Assessments are valuable in helping you identify growth edges, strengths, and opportunities for therapeutic work. They reveal insights about both broad and specific areas of your psychology, including:
- Personality: What makes up who you are, how you differ from others, and how you may be seen by others;
- Values: Your priorities that can become your guiding compass;
- Vocation: What you’re good at, what you care about, how you like to work, and how you can channel all of that into a meaningful career;
- Attachment style: Profound insights into how you relate to others, especially in your closest relationships; and
- Mental health: How and to what extent you experience depression, anxiety, stress, and post-traumatic stress, plus neurotypes and neurodivergence.
Gain a better look at your concerns in assessment, and learn strategies to address them in therapy.
If you’re curious whether assessment might be useful for your work, bring it up in session or reach out to ask.
