What is a Clinical Evaluations?
A clinical evaluation is a comprehensive assessment designed to better understand an individual’s emotional, psychological, and behavioral experiences.
At The Carolinas Art of Change Counseling, we believe an evaluation should tell the individual’s story—not simply provide a list of symptoms.
During the evaluation process, the clinician and individual work together to explore relevant personal history, current concerns, emotional experiences, psychological symptoms, relationships, functioning, and other factors relevant to the purpose of the evaluation.
A clinical evaluation can serve as a roadmap that considers the past, present, and future, helping provide a clearer understanding of an individual’s experiences and needs.
Our clinicians provide trauma-informed and culturally responsive evaluations and take the time to ensure that each individual feels respected, heard, and understood throughout the process.
Immigration-Related Clinical Evaluations
We also provide clinical evaluations for individuals involved in immigration-related legal matters.
Our evaluations are designed to provide a professional and comprehensive understanding of the individual’s psychological and emotional experiences within the context of their personal history and circumstances.
We work with individuals and legal professionals to provide professionally prepared clinical evaluation reports that are individualized to the client and the purpose of the evaluation.
For attorneys and legal professionals seeking to refer a client, please contact our office to discuss the evaluation process and availability.
