Mental Health Evaluations

Whether for personal insight, clinical diagnosis, or meeting external requirements, our comprehensive mental health evaluations are designed to provide a clear picture of an individual’s emotional, psychological, and behavioral well-being.

What Is a Mental Health Evaluation?

A mental health evaluation is a professional assessment conducted by a licensed clinician to identify emotional or behavioral concerns, diagnose mental health conditions, and guide treatment planning. It can also serve as documentation for schools, employers, the court system, or other agencies requiring formal mental health insight.

Who Might Need an Evaluation?

Our evaluations support individuals of all ages, including:

  • Children or teens struggling in school or at home

  • Adults experiencing emotional distress, mood changes, or life disruptions

  • Individuals involved in the justice system or child welfare cases

  • Clients seeking therapy, psychiatric referrals, or updated diagnoses

  • Persons needing documentation for work, disability, or other supports

Our Evaluation Services Include:

  • Diagnostic Mental Health Evaluations
    For identifying conditions such as depression, anxiety, PTSD, ADHD, and more

  • Court-Ordered & DCFS Evaluations
    Conducted with professionalism, discretion, and trauma-informed care

  • School-Based Assessments
    Supporting IEP/504 planning and behavioral intervention strategies

  • Substance Use & Co-Occurring Evaluations
    Assessing for dual diagnoses and guiding appropriate treatment paths

    Please Note:
    ACTS Care does not provide neurological or psychological testing (such as IQ testing, learning disability assessments, or neuropsychological evaluations). However, we are happy to provide referrals to licensed psychologists or neuropsychologists who specialize in these services.

What to Expect

Each evaluation includes:

  • A detailed clinical interview

  • Review of medical, social, and emotional history

  • Standardized screening tools

  • Strengths-based analysis and recommendations

  • A written summary or report, as needed

We offer telehealth and in-person assessments with flexible scheduling to meet urgent and routine needs.
