What to expect at your first psychologist visit in Union County, GA
A therapy intake is similar to a therapist visit: a comprehensive interview about your history, current symptoms, and goals. If you are there for testing, the process is different. It usually involves multiple sessions of standardized tests, questionnaires, and interviews, followed by a written report with diagnoses and recommendations.
When to see a psychologist
See a psychologist if you need psychological testing (ADHD, learning disabilities, cognitive evaluations), if you want evidence-based therapy from a doctoral-level provider, or if you have complex mental health concerns that may benefit from specialized assessment. Psychologists are also a good choice for treatment-resistant conditions where a deeper diagnostic picture could help.
