Assessment

Dr. Friesen offers formal and comprehensive assessment services. These assessments include a semi-structured clinical interview, standardized testing, and a feedback session. Following the assessment you will be provided with a written assessment report with the results from the assessment and recommendations for treatment.

Dr. Friesen offers psychodiagnostic assessments which evaluate symptoms, thoughts, emotions, behaviours, and personality factors that may be contributing to psychological distress. These assessments can assist in the diagnosis of psychological disorders and in providing a detailed formulation of an individual's difficulties which can be used to inform treatment planning.

In addition, Dr. Friesen offers cognitive assessments which evaluate an individual's cognitive functioning including intelligence, memory, attention, and executive functioning. These assessments assist in identifying areas of weakness and strength. Assessments will assist in understanding if cognitive functioning may be affected by psychological concerns.

Please contact Dr. Friesen at 403-585-7184 for more information about assessments offered.
