What are psychological assessments?
At Ikigai Integrative, our psychodiagnostic assessments are a structured way to better understand your mental and emotional well-being. Led by experienced psychologists or supervised clinicians, these assessments often include in-depth interviews, evidence-based screening tools, and optional input from people in your life (like loved ones or other professionals) to help us build a full picture of your experience. The process blends your own perspective with data and observations to uncover patterns and potential diagnoses. Whether you’re seeking answers, clarity, or a foundation for therapy, these assessments offer a powerful tool for deeper insight and more personalized care moving forward.
