Comprehensive Intake: The process begins with a detailed intake session where your referral questions are clarified, your personal history is reviewed, and the contexts that shape your current concerns are carefully explored. Based on these goals, the clinician selects the most appropriate measures such as the MMPI-3, the MMPI-2-RF when clinically indicated, or the PAI, so that the assessment is tailored directly to your needs and objectives.

Plain-Language Feedback: You will receive a written report that presents findings in clear and accessible language rather than technical or academic jargon.

Optional Follow-Up: If you choose, follow-up sessions can be scheduled to clarify results, discuss implications more deeply, and plan next steps for care. With your authorization, your clinician can also consult with your other providers to ensure coordinated and consistent support. This makes the assessment process not only informative but also a springboard for meaningful progress.

Personality Assessment: Could It Help You?
Explore common challenges linked to personality patterns such as relationship struggles or difficulties at work, and learn how our personality assessment in Calgary can provide clarity and guidance.
Ans : No referral is required to contact us. If another provider referred you, we’ll incorporate their questions and, with your written consent, share a summary or full report back to them
Ans : We primarily use the MMPI-3 (or MMPI-2-RF when indicated) and the PAI because they’re standardized, include validity indicators, and offer broad clinical utility across concerns. Your clinician selects measures that best match your questions and context.
Ans : No. Assessment informs care; it doesn’t replace psychotherapy or medical treatment. We collaborate with your current providers—psychologist, family doctor, or psychiatrist—if you authorize us to share findings and coordinate next steps.
Ans : Yes—with your written consent. Many clients ask us to communicate recommendations to physicians, case managers, or school teams so the plan is implemented consistently.
Ans : Most people complete intake, testing, and feedback within a few appointments. Timing depends on your questions, measures used, and whether collateral information is needed. Your clinician will outline the schedule at intake and flag any steps that may extend timelines (e.g., gathering forms).
Ans : We can pause, schedule breaks, or reschedule. If you’re in immediate danger or feel unsafe at any time, call emergency services first. We’ll provide local crisis resources and ensure safety remains the priority.
