Structured evaluation of emotional, behavioral and psychological concerns to identify needs and guide an appropriate treatment plan.
By appointment
A Behavioral / Mental Health Assessment is the structured starting point for many Therapy House patients. The clinician reviews the presenting concern, relevant history, current symptoms, functioning, strengths, risks and treatment goals. The purpose is to develop a clinical understanding of the patient's needs, identify areas requiring intervention, determine whether additional assessment or referral is indicated, and recommend an appropriate outpatient treatment pathway.
Typical pathway
How this fits with other services: May lead to Individual Psychotherapy, Family Therapy, Group Therapy, Substance-Use Assessment, Medical & Recovery, or another appropriate referral.
An assessment does not guarantee a particular diagnosis or treatment. Emergency presentations require appropriate emergency/hospital care rather than routine outpatient booking.
A new patient can begin with the relevant assessment or Central Intake. The goal is to identify the appropriate service rather than requiring the patient to diagnose the problem independently.
No routine website or outpatient appointment should be presented as emergency hospital care. Acute medical or psychiatric emergencies require the appropriate emergency/hospital service.
Yes. The website should provide a 'Not sure which service I need' option that routes the visitor to Central Intake rather than forcing a clinical self-selection.
Start with Therapy House Central Intake. We can help identify the appropriate starting point based on your concerns and service needs — you do not need to diagnose yourself.
