Assessments

A psychological assessment is a valuable investment in yourself and/or your child. Given you are the true expert on yourself or your family member, you likely have a general feeling that something bigger might be going on, but are seeking professional guidance to help connect the dots.

At Neuroconverge, Dr. Henzel views psychological assessment as more than a process for determining diagnosis or qualification. She also regards the assessment process as an opportunity to help clients develop self-understanding and empowerment, and to provide them with concrete guidance for a path forward.

More Comprehensive, More Personalized…

Dr. Henzel prides herself on conducting comprehensive and thoughtful evaluations that utilize best practice tools and also consider a client’s unique lived experiences. She goes beyond the numerical data collected to provide deeper and more personalized levels of interpretation, which provides added insights into a client’s strengths and needs. As mental health and/or developmental conditions commonly co-occur, Dr. Henzel takes the time to sort through layers of need, providing additional diagnoses and recommendations as warranted. Additionally, using her training in school psychology and experience in working for educational institutions, she incorporates guidance and advisement on educational support needs as part of the evaluation process.

The end result of the Neuroconverge assessment process is a report that is thorough, understandable, insightful, and practical, as well as a feedback session that provides you with clear direction on your path to success.
