Our Approach

At Intersection Psychological Services, we understand that the journey to self-discovery and understanding can be complex. We approach the therapeutic evaluation assessment process with care, compassion, and a commitment to centering the individual being assessed and their unique life experience. We believe that each person's story deserves to be valued and respected, and our evaluations reflect that belief.

Nuanced Psychological Testing:

Psychological testing tools are an integral part of the evaluation process. However, we recognize the importance of using these tools in a nuanced manner that goes beyond mere diagnoses. We take into account the cultural, racial, and ethnic backgrounds of our clients, ensuring that the evaluation process is tailored to reflect their lived experiences. By doing so, we can gain a deeper understanding of their strengths, challenges, and potential areas for growth.

LGBTQIQ Affirmative Focus:

We are proud to provide LGBTQIQ affirmative evaluations, creating a safe and accepting space for all individuals. We are committed to understanding and supporting the unique needs and experiences of LGBTQIQ individuals within the evaluation process, ensuring that their voices are heard and respected.

Collaborative Approach:

We believe in the power of collaboration. Our evaluations are conducted in a collaborative manner, where we work hand in hand with our clients, inviting their input and insights throughout the process. By fostering a collaborative relationship, we empower our clients to have an active role in their evaluation, treatment planning, and overall journey towards improved mental well-being.
