Individual Psychotherapy

Individual Psychotherapy, also known as talk-therapy, is a branch of psychotherapy where a trained professional provides one-on-one support and equips you with the correct tools to tackle your mental condition in real-life situations. This type of therapy is prevalent among people, as it enables you to talk about your concerns in a fully confidential and supportive environment.

There are several approaches to individual psychotherapy, each with its strengths and weaknesses. During the first session, your therapist may bring this up to you and discuss what approach is more suitable for you. As therapy is a highly client-driven healthcare field, your therapist will ask from time to time if you're happy with your treatment, knowing that your feedback will be highly valuable.

For your therapy to be successful, engagement is essential. Firstly, you and your therapist should be comfortable working together. This aspect is vital as several studies have shown that the client-therapist relationship does influence the overall success of the therapy sessions. Additionally, your therapist may ask you to practice using some techniques outside your session's safe space. It may feel challenging at first, but soon it will improve your therapy sessions' success and outcome.

The benefits of individual psychotherapy far outweigh the drawbacks. The results happen spontaneously because of the unique nature of psychotherapy. You're in a safe, confidential, and understanding environment where your therapist hears everything you say.

Psychological Testing

Has your provider referred you for psychological tests but feeling overwhelmed and uncertain with all of the information received? Then read on, as we will provide you with the essential information you need to feel confident about your next step.

Being referred for psychological testing is sometimes intimidating or overwhelming. Psychological evaluations use standardized tests to observe your behavior and measure your cognitive abilities, providing you with a diagnosis accessible by your provider to create a targeted treatment plan for your condition.

The evaluation starts with a clinical interview, followed by one or more tests, depending on your condition's complexity. There is a wide variety of tests, such as norm-referenced tests, computerized tests, and surveys; then, we collect your answers and scale them against a pre-defined score to verify whether your scores fall within normal or expected limits.

Neuropsychological test

If your provider referred you for a neuropsychological evaluation, you’re probably confused about what it actually is and how it works precisely. You might also be a bit scared, as sometimes people feel like neuropsychological testing is invasive and painful.

Let us reassure you: it is not. Neuropsychological testing involves testing the function of your brain to determine its integrity and capacity. It assesses multiple factors, such as processing speed, learning new information, remembering, reasoning, problem-solving skills, mood, personality, and much more.

Since your brain is a complex machine, the test aims to evaluate your brain’s extrinsic and intrinsic function that has to do with your behavior. Click here to walk through the in’s-and-out’s of neuropsychological testing, how it works, what it tests, and some standard components of the tests.
