What are diagnostic evaluations, and how can they help?
Experiencing symptoms without understanding their origins can feel confusing and overwhelming.
I use the Structured Clinical Interview for the DSM-5 (SCID-5) to assess your current and historical symptoms, integrating the details you provide about your family and past to develop a comprehensive report that presents a clinical judgment on diagnoses such as:
Depressive Disorders
Anxiety Disorders
Mood Disorders
Psychotic Disorders
Dissociative Disorders
Personality Disorders
Trauma-Related Disorders
Obsessive-Compulsive Disorders
Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorders
Please note: The SCID-5 is not equivalent to a neuropsychological evaluation and is not always considered a substitute for one when a full neuropsychological evaluation is required. If you need a full neuropsychological evaluation, I can recommend providers in or near your area who can conduct one; however, these recommendations do not guarantee provider availability or timely scheduling.
Scheduling notice: When reaching out about diagnostic assessment services, please indicate the diagnoses you are most interested in covering during the assessment process. The diagnostic process can take up to 6 hours and may be spread across multiple appointments if needed.
Telehealth notice: At this time, all services for Rhode Island residents are provided through a secure telehealth platform. A limited number of in-person appointments will be available at Grounded Systems Counseling, LLC's Cumberland, RI, office beginning January 1st, 2027.
