We hear people will say that they need a “psychological evaluation” but what does this mean? This phrase is often used to describe two different things.

• A person wants to meet with a therapist to better understand what they are feeling and how to use that information to better that life. This is usually accomplished through therapy sessions where you meet regularly with your therapists.
• People say they need a “psychological evaluation” when they are looking to get tested for certain disorders including ADHD, Autism, and Learning Disabilities.
