Who can benefit from a Psychological evaluation?
Forensic evaluations are assessments that are often required for Court proceedings and can be utilized to make determinations ranging from competency to stand trial to appropriate therapeutic intervention. Forensic assessments may include a combination of cognitive, emotional, personality, and neuropsychological tests that measure an individual’s current level of functioning. At present, Washington Psychology Associates accepts referrals from attorneys and individuals to provide comprehensive evaluations of children, adolescents, and adults targeting mental status, psychological and educational functioning, and treatment planning. We have specialized interest and expertise in evaluating children with histories of abuse, neglect, and other trauma and adolescents involved in the Juvenile criminal system.
