Psychological Testing

Filling Out Form
Why Seek a Psychological Evaluation?

 

Psychological testing can help:

  • Clarify or confirm diagnoses

  • Provide insight into strengths and areas of growth

  • Inform therapy goals and intervention planning

  • Guide referrals to appropriate services

  • Support requests for school accommodations (e.g., IEP, 504 Plan)

  • Establish a baseline for current functioning

 

Psychological Testing at The Luminous Mind

At The Luminous Mind, we view psychological evaluation as more than just a diagnostic tool—it’s an opportunity for insight, clarity, and empowerment. Whether you're seeking answers for yourself, your child, or a loved one, our evaluations are designed to support your unique path with care and intention.

 

We understand that traditional testing models often reflect narrow or pathologizing frameworks. That’s why our approach is grounded in respect, cultural responsiveness, and a decolonized lens. We affirm neurodiversity, honor lived experience, and see every client as an active partner in the process.

 

 

When you come to us for an evaluation, you can expect:

  • A clinician who is gender-affirming, neurodiversity-affirming, culturally responsive, and rooted in an anti-oppressive decolonized approach

  • To be treated with the utmost respect and dignity

  • To be seen as the expert in your own experience

  • To have full autonomy over what you share (and what you choose not to)

  • A collaborative process that centers your voice, your values, and your goals

  • We’ve included more details below to help demystify the process—and we’re always happy to answer questions along the way.

​Process of Obtaining an Assessment

After completing our intake paperwork using link below called Sign Up for Testing, you will be send an email from us discussing next steps and will be added to our waiting list.  Our waiting list tends to be long especially for testing since there are only so many of us and a great number of people seeking testing.  As much as it stresses our clients out to have to wait, please be assured, it our providers also find it stressful and are eager to get people off the wait list.  

​

There are a few things that will be asked of you while you wait for your turn, and the sooner you have these in the better your chances are of getting an appointment sooner than later:

​

  • keep your contact information up to date

  • keep your insurance information up to date

  • complete any forms sent to you on Therapy Portal

  • check your email for contact from AJ as she will often go down the list when there is an opening that pops up.

After You're Booked​

Once you obtain a testing appointment time, be aware that it will likely take several appointments until your testing is complete.  It is very important that you do not miss your appointments and that you complete the process once you have begun it.
