Independent Evaluative Services
Individuals can request independent evaluations. These evaluations are confidential and follow psychotherapeutic confidentiality associated with HIPAA and professional ethical guidelines. These evaluation results should not be shared with anyone and are for the purpose of gaining understanding, insight, and recommendations. These can include adults and children.
​
MINORS
Evaluations can be completed at the request of an individual to gain further insight into presenting issues. These include child behavioral issues, as well as difficulty with comprehension. Typically, evaluations for children include assessments (testing) and are used for educational purposes. Evaluations with Vital Balance are NOT done for child custody cases.
​
ADULTS
Adult evaluations can be completed when you are experiencing symptoms or concerns outside of typical daily stressors. These are helpful when you are looking for answers or as a way to start therapy. It is not recommended to share results with anyone, particularly employers or colleagues.
