There are three parts to the testing process: 1) Intake Appointment. Our first step is to schedule a 60 minute intake appointment, either by telehealth or in-person. During this appointment, a clinician will gather a detailed history and ask you questions. They will make a recommendation about what types of testing you need based on this information. Your clinician will also answer any questions that you may have about testing and schedule your next appointment. There is no obligation to continue with the rest of the evaluation process following intake. 2) Testing Sessions. Testing sessions are typically scheduled within 2 to 6 weeks of the initial intake appointment. Testing can take anywhere from 2 to 8 hours, or more, depending on the type of evaluation you need. There will also be components for you to compete on your own at home. Many assessments will require at least one in-person office visit, however, some assessments may be able to be administered virtually by Telehealth. 3) Feedback Appointment. After testing is complete, a 60 minute feedback appointment (telehealth or in-person) is scheduled. Your clinician will share the results of your testing with you, explain any diagnoses, review their recommendations, and take time to answer your questions.

Your clinician will schedule a feedback appointment with you to verbally communicate the results and give you an opportunity to ask questions about the findings and recommendations. A comprehensive written summary will be released to you through the secure Client Portal after your feedback appointment. In some cases, your clinician will need more time to add additional information or resources to your written summary based on discussion during feedback or require supervisor approval before release. Clinicians strive to have written results to you as soon as possible. No written reports can be released before a verbal feedback appointment. All payments must be receive in full before written report summaries can be released to patients.

The testing processing can take 6-12 weeks to complete from start to finish depending on a number of factors. Most of the time, our clinicians can accommodate an initial intake appointment within 4 weeks of initial contact. The first testing appointment may be scheduled anywhere from 2 to 6 weeks later depending on clinician and client availability. It usually takes another 2 to 3 weeks to prepare for a feedback appointment and finish written documentation after all of the data is collected. Sometimes we can accommodate evaluations on a quicker timeline, but this is subject to clinician expertise and availability. Please let us know if you have a strict timeline for evaluation when you complete your new-client inquiry.

In some cases, we may be able to complete court ordered evaluations. It is important for you to know that Creekview clinicians are NOT forensically trained psychologists. None of our providers specialize in evaluations that make direct recommendations about things like custody decisions and/or competency to stand trial. We may be able to help you with an evaluation that is related to employment, functional ability/capacity, and/or adoption depending on the specific types of tests that are required. It is always in your best interest to please disclose to us at the time that you are scheduling if your evaluation will be used for forensic or legal purposes. In this instance, there may be additional costs as part of the evaluation: forensic evaluations for legal purposes often go beyond the scope of a traditional clinical evaluation and are not often covered by medical insurance.
