Explore
past experiences
The assessment process begins by exploring your past experiences and developmental history to provide a subjective perspective that enriches the evaluation. By understanding your early life experiences, key milestones, and how you've navigated challenges over time, we can gain a deeper insight into the origins of your symptoms. This comprehensive approach helps confirm the root cause or etiology of your difficulties, ensuring the assessment is not only thorough but also personalized to your unique life story. It’s all about connecting the dots between your past and present to provide a clear, accurate picture of your mental health.

The root cause
Identify the root cause of your symptoms through a comprehensive battery of self-report evaluations that explore executive functioning, symptomatology, and past experiences. This thorough approach helps pinpoint the underlying factors contributing to your struggles, offering valuable insights into how cognitive, emotional, and behavioral patterns are affecting your life. By examining key areas such as attention, impulse control, emotional regulation, and life history, we can create a clearer picture of the etiology of your symptoms, leading to more accurate diagnosis and effective treatment planning.

how assessments work
Assessment services are a structured, collaborative process designed to provide clarity, accurate diagnosis, and meaningful treatment recommendations. At Peace Humanistic Therapy, assessments are conducted using a trauma-informed, strengths-based approach that prioritizes emotional safety, understanding, and individualized care.
The assessment process begins with a comprehensive clinical intake, where personal history, current concerns, developmental experiences, and mental health symptoms are explored. Careful attention is given to how conditions such as ADHD, trauma, PTSD, complex PTSD (C-PTSD), dissociation, autism spectrum disorder (ASD), anxiety, mood disorders, and related concerns may overlap or present differently across the lifespan.
Clients then complete standardized clinical, behavioral, and cognitive measures selected to address the specific referral questions. These measures help evaluate attention, executive functioning, emotional regulation, trauma responses, dissociative symptoms, personality patterns, and adaptive functioning. Tools are chosen thoughtfully to support accurate differential diagnosis, rather than relying on a single checklist or test.
Results are integrated with clinical observations and background information to create a clear, comprehensive clinical report. Findings are explained in accessible language and include individualized recommendations for therapy, accommodations, and supportive services.
The assessment process concludes with a collaborative feedback session, where results are reviewed together, questions are answered, and next steps are discussed. Clients leave with a clearer understanding of their experiences and a practical roadmap for support and treatment.
Assessment is not about labeling—it is about making sense of patterns, validating lived experience, and guiding effective, compassionate care.
Who can benefit from an assessment?
Assessment services can be helpful for adolescents and adults who are seeking clarity, understanding, and guidance around emotional, cognitive, or neurodevelopmental concerns. Many individuals pursue assessment after years of feeling misunderstood, misdiagnosed, or unsure why certain patterns continue to impact their daily life, relationships, or sense of self.
You may benefit from a clinical assessment if you:
Experience ongoing difficulties with attention, focus, organization, or executive functioning that may be related to ADHD
Struggle with emotional regulation, overwhelm, anxiety, or mood changes that interfere with daily functioning
Have a history of trauma, chronic stress, or attachment wounds and want to better understand how these experiences affect your nervous system and behavior
Notice symptoms associated with PTSD, complex trauma (C-PTSD), or dissociation, such as emotional numbing, hypervigilance, shutdown, or feeling disconnected from yourself or others
Suspect autism spectrum traits, learning differences, or neurodivergent patterns that were never fully evaluated
Have received conflicting diagnoses or treatments that have not been effective
Want clearer guidance for therapy planning, accommodations, or supportive services
Are seeking documentation to support educational, occupational, or therapeutic needs, when appropriate
Assessment services are also valuable for individuals whose experiences may overlap across multiple areas—such as ADHD and trauma, or neurodevelopmental differences and emotional regulation challenges—where careful differential evaluation is needed to guide appropriate care.
At Peace Humanistic Therapy, assessments are approached with compassion, collaboration, and respect. The goal is not to pathologize, but to provide clarity, validation, and a practical roadmap that supports informed, effective treatment and personal growth.
