Our diagnostic tools aid in accurate, client-centered diagnosis which can guide effective treatment modalities and options. These tools can be used as a guide for completing and documenting a meaningful diagnostic interview, which sets the foundation for the therapeutic relationship. We offer diagnostic materials for full standard assessments, brief assessments, as well as assessments with minors which include developmental milestones which may impact the clinical picture. |
Diagnostic Assessment-1
|
Our Standard Diagnostic Assessment-1 is created to capture a full clinical picture, as well as serving as a guide to lead a meaningful first visit with new clients. We incorporate both narrative and checkbox options to record clinical information and have ensured that all required content areas have been included to generate a rich clinical picture and ultimately direct diagnosis and treatment options.

Diagnostic Assessment-1
|
Our Brief Diagnostic Assessment-1 is meant to collect high-level diagnostic information too quickly and effectively diagnosis and direct treatment. It is ideal to use in a setting where a full diagnostic assessment is not required or warranted, as it paints a quick clinical picture and jumps right into treatment. We have incorporated the Department of Human Services criteria to create a brief, yet meaningful document that you will find both user-friendly and effective.

Youth Diagnostic
|
Our Youth Diagnostic Addendum-1 is created to add on to either our Standard or Brief Diagnostic Assessment tools. It addresses areas of growth and development that are critical to assess in children, as their clinical picture can be greatly impacted by many developmental factors. This tool is not a diagnostic assessment in and of its self; rather it adds to the clinical picture when used together.

Safety Assessor-1
|
The Safety Assessor-1 is a product that is meant to screen a certain type of violence risk, namely someone willing to report those tendencies on a self-report form in direct response to risk-probing questions. As long as it is understood there are some respondents who will NOT reveal their violent propensities, our experience is that some will and that it is worth the effort to screen for them. Furthermore, it is possible our on-going research will reveal patterned defensive profiles for guarded respondents not willing to acknowledge their risk at face value.

Safety Assosor-1
|
The Safety Assessor-1 Interpretation Guide is the interpretive instrument to accompany the Safety Assessor-1. This product will also give additional details about its limitations in application.

Self Harm-1
|
The Self Harm-1 is a product meant to be used where there is reason to believe there is risk for suicide. It also attempts to give some intervention guidance, though it should be stressed that the suggestive ideas on this list should not be considered all-inclusive. Users should find its means of addressing risk straightforward and progressive.

Self Harm-1
|
The Self Harm-1 Interpretation Guide provides important information and qualifications about the use of Self Harm-1. While our experience is that many client/patients at elevated risk of suicide will self-disclose this propensity, it should not be assumed that all will do so. Thus, providers should always exercise other forms of vigilance in this area for more guarded clients. We also encourage providers to take the extra time needed to get additional training in assessing and managing suicide risk. We especially encourage providers to look at the research dealing with the costs and benefits of no-harm contracts.
