Who Needs an Independent Assessment?

Comprehensive Assessments are often recommended for legal, licensing or other matters that require formal evaluation. It is important to find an independent assessor that can objectively review your current circumstances and provide recommendations and resources.

 

We understand the impact that these recommendations can have on your wellbeing, relationships and career. We know that the shame of reaching out for help is intense and we will work alongside you to develop the plan that makes most sense for your situation. Also, choosing a private pay, independent assessor means you have added privacy and control as your assessment will not be part of your medical record (unless you decide to provide it to a 3rd party). 

​

Lauren Adsem, MA, LADC, MHP, provides all of our comprehensive assessment services. She has special training in monitoring for licensure, legal requirements, and other intricate systems that require a high level of detail and care. She is also available for individual, couples and family therapy.

Please Note: We do not recommend comprehensive assessments if you are looking for exploration of your substance overuse, wanting to gain insight, and develop a plan for change. We believe jumping right into therapy is a great option in this situation. If this is you, hop over to our individual, couples or group therapy services to get started!
