Understanding Clinical Mental Health Evaluations
CLINICAL MENTAL HEALTH EVALUATIONS (LMHC):
• Clinical interviews
• Mental status examinations
• Evidence-based assessments
• Diagnostic evaluation
• Expert clinical opinion
PSYCHOLOGICAL TESTING (Psychologist Required):
• Formal psychological testing (MMPI, Rorschach)
• IQ/cognitive testing
• Neuropsychological assessment
• Competency to stand trial (FL Statute 916.115)

I work with contracted psychologists and psychiatrists when testing beyond LMHC scope is needed.
What to Expect
• Professional, objective assessment process
• Comprehensive reports within 7-10 business days
• Professional interpreters for non-English speakers
