Assessment: A diagnostic assessment is a clinical evaluation provided by an accredited professional, such as a clinical psychologist, to gather information of a client. It is used to determine an appropriate treatment based on the presenting issues, current mental health status, and clinical impressions. A proper process of a diagnostic assessment will include a pre-assessment consultation (90 minutes), single or multiple tests administration, assessment report, and post-assessment feedback to client/family (60 minutes). The common diagnostic assessments used by a clinical psychologist include the Mini Neuropsychiatric Interview (MINI), Beck Anxiety Inventory, and Beck Depression Inventory.
Psychotherapy: Focuses on addressing the roots and core issues for personal growth and change. It generally works with people suffering from complex mental health conditions such as (but not limited to): depression and anxiety, personality disorders, eating problems, and trauma-related issues.

• Facilitate positive changes

• Strive professional and personal goals
• Improve communication and socialization skills
• Gain a deeper understanding of self
• Increase self-esteem and self-confidence
• Cultivate stronger, more connected relationships
• Manage anger and stress
• Develop healthy habits
