Psychological Assessments

At Thrive Wellness and Consulting we offer a variety of assessments. 
Having a psychological assessment can be a confusing, overwhelming and lengthy process. We are here to provide you as much information as possible and to help make the process as easy and smooth as we can. If you ever have any questions or would like us to go through things in more detail, please just let us know.

The assessment process can vary depending on whether you have a referral, if the assessment has been recommended by someone else and what types of assessments you need.
