ASSESSMENTS

What is a psychiatric assessment?

This is a collaborative psychiatric consultation involving a registered psychotherapist or social worker and a psychiatrist. It is designed for clients seeking a formal diagnosis, medication review, and therapy recommendations.
The process integrates therapy and psychiatry to provide a comprehensive understanding of a client’s mental health and to support coordinated care with the family doctor.

A psychoeducational assessment is a comprehensive evaluation that looks at how a person thinks, learns, and processes information. It helps identify learning strengths and challenges, such as learning disabilities, ADHD, or intellectual delays. The results are used to guide support at school, work, or in therapy.

An MVA assessment evaluates injuries and functional limitations resulting from a motor vehicle accident. It helps guide treatment and insurance planning.

A Workplace Safety and Insurance Board assessment is an evaluation conducted to determine the impact of a workplace injury or illness on an individual’s physical, psychological, or cognitive functioning. It helps guide treatment planning, return-to-work recommendations, and claim decisions.

To start the process, you do not need a referral. However during the third session with your therapist, you will be provided with a referral form to give to your family doctor to sign and fax.
You will need approval from your car insurance to complete an MVA assessment. You will need to complete a pre-screen before we can request an approval for the MVA assessment.

After the psychiatrist assessment, the psychiatrist may prescribe medication if needed. Follow-up care may be coordinated with your family doctor or our team.

The process is conducted by the trained psychometrist under psychologist supervision.
The entire process typically takes 4–6 weeks from intake to final report. Testing sessions may be spread over 1–3 days, depending on the client’s needs and energy levels.
This assessment is not covered by OHIP, but many extended health benefit plans offer partial or full reimbursement. Check with your provider for coverage under “psychological services or psychological testing”
You’ll receive a comprehensive written report with a diagnosis (if applicable), learning profile, and tailored recommendations for school, work, or therapy. A feedback session is included to explain the results.
