Psychological Assessment and Psychotherapy Services
Individual Therapy
At Desert Peak Psychology, individual therapy is focused on practical, evidence based care for adults and teens facing a wide range of mental health concerns. The approach is structured and goal oriented, with an emphasis on understanding patterns that keep problems going and building skills that translate into real life change. Sessions are collaborative, focused, and tailored to each person’s needs.
ADHD Assessments
Our ADHD assessments are designed to provide a thorough and accurate evaluation of attention, executive functioning, and related concerns. We use reliable, clinically sound testing methods to help clarify whether ADHD or related issues are present. The goal is to offer clear answers and practical recommendations that can guide treatment, school, or work related decisions.
Personality Assessments
Personality assessments focus on understanding long standing patterns of thinking, feeling, and behavior that influence how a person functions in daily life and relationships. These evaluations can help clarify diagnoses, identify strengths and challenges, and support more effective treatment planning. Results are presented in a clear and clinically useful way.
Cognitive and IQ Testing
Cognitive and IQ testing provides a detailed look at intellectual functioning, problem solving, and other key areas of thinking and learning. These evaluations are useful for understanding strengths and weaknesses, answering specific referral questions, and supporting educational, clinical, or planning needs. The process is thorough, professional, and focused on practical use of the results.
Diagnostic Clarification
Diagnostic clarification assessments are designed for situations where symptoms are complex, overlapping, or difficult to sort out. The goal is to provide a clear and accurate understanding of what is going on using careful clinical evaluation and testing when appropriate. This helps ensure that treatment and next steps are based on solid information rather than guesswork.
Pre-Surgical Assessments
Pre-surgical assessments are designed to evaluate psychological readiness and relevant risk factors prior to medical or surgical procedures. These evaluations help provide clear, clinically useful information to support decision making, treatment planning, and coordination of care with other providers.
