Psychological Evaluation · Utah
Clarity through
comprehensive testing.
PhD-level psychological evaluations for adults and adolescents. Understanding what's actually happening in your brain is the foundation of effective treatment — and can open doors to meaningful support in academic and professional settings.
Evaluation Areas
What we evaluate.
Each evaluation is individualized. Testing is selected based on your specific referral question — not a one-size-fits-all battery.
ADHD
Comprehensive evaluation of attention, executive function, and cognitive processing. Includes clinical interview, standardized rating scales, and normed cognitive testing.
Autism Spectrum
Thorough assessment of social communication, sensory processing, and behavioral patterns using gold-standard diagnostic instruments.
Depression
Differential evaluation to clarify the nature and severity of depressive symptoms, distinguish from related conditions, and inform targeted treatment.
Anxiety Disorders
Assessment of anxiety type (generalized, social, panic, OCD-spectrum) to guide evidence-based care and document functional impairment.
PTSD & Trauma
Structured evaluation of trauma history, symptom severity, and functional impact — including dissociation screening when clinically indicated.
The Process
What to expect.
Intake & Clinical Interview
We start with a thorough conversation about your history, current concerns, and what you're hoping to understand.
Standardized Testing
You'll complete validated assessments — cognitive, behavioral, and symptom-based — selected specifically for your referral question.
Scoring & Interpretation
Dr. Hansen reviews all data in context, comparing results to population norms and clinical standards.
Feedback Session
A dedicated session to walk through findings, answer your questions, and discuss what the results mean for your life.
Written Report
A comprehensive psychological evaluation report suitable for clinical, educational, or professional use.
Academic & Professional Support
Evaluations can support accommodation requests.
A comprehensive psychological evaluation report documents your cognitive profile and functional impairments in a format recognized by universities, colleges, K-12 schools, and professional licensing boards. While we do not guarantee that any specific accommodation will be granted — those decisions rest with the institution — a thorough evaluation is often a necessary first step in the process.
Accommodations commonly requested with evaluation documentation:
Accommodation decisions are made by the institution, not by the evaluator. Our role is to provide thorough, accurate documentation of your psychological profile.
Why PhD-level evaluation matters.
Psychological evaluation is a specialized clinical skill. Dr. Hansen holds a doctoral degree in clinical psychology and has advanced training in psychodiagnostic assessment. The difference between a thorough, well-interpreted evaluation and a superficial screening can be the difference between getting the support you need — and being told nothing is wrong when something clearly is.
