Where do juveniles go for a counseling or psychological evaluation?
If your child is experiencing a mental health crisis please contact 911 and follow-up with the child’s probation officer the next business day. If your child has been ordered by the court to have a counseling or psychological evaluation, please check first with your child’s probation officer. Depending on the type of counseling evaluation ordered, the youth may have to go through the family’s health insurance company or the probation officer will make a referral for “In-Home” Family-Based Therapy. In the case of a psychological evaluation, your child’s probation officer will set up an appointment for psychological testing and an interview within two weeks of your child’s court hearing.
