Psychiatric Evaluations

Comprehensive Mental Health Assessments

At NeuroHealth Treatment Centers, we offer mental health solutions that are customized to the individual patient. The first step is understanding your condition, the symptoms you experience, and your goals for improving your mental and emotional well-being. Comprehensive psychiatric evaluations allow us to assess mental health conditions, offer accurate diagnoses, and create personalized treatment plans.

Whether you are experiencing depression, anxiety, PTSD, or other mental health challenges, our evaluations are the first step toward effective care. If you’re struggling with mood changes, intrusive thoughts, or difficulties in daily life, a professional assessment can help identify the underlying causes and guide you toward the right treatment.

Your psychiatric evaluation and individualized recommendations for further care are just a phone call away. For a FREE initial consultation, call NeuroHealth Treatment Centers at 954-417-7575 today. Our clinical team is based in Fort Lauderdale and serves all of South Florida.

I went I go to see Dr Kessler after dealing with countless years of anquish from several traumatic experiences in the past. Dr Kessler was very attentive and helpful through my process. Anthony assisted in any way possible to make my therapy session seemeless. He answers all my questions and calls. I am seeking further support through the VA system but Dr Kessler’s diagnosis was spot on and very helpful in my search for the peace of mind that has been lost for so long.
Thank you 🙏🏻. Highly recommend.

What Is a Psychiatric Evaluation?

Many of our patients have previously seen psychologists, psychiatrists, and/or counselors. They’ve been through talk therapy and other treatments before—often with substandard results. We understand that the prospect of another evaluation might not sound appealing, but we do things differently at NeuroHealth Treatment Centers.

Our psychiatric evaluations are thorough mental health assessments conducted by a qualified professional. A complete evaluation helps us diagnose conditions like depression, anxiety disorders, bipolar disorder, OCD, PTSD, and ADHD. It also enables us to ensure that you receive the most appropriate treatment.

Psychiatric evaluations at NeuroHealth Treatment Centers are designed to:

• Identify symptoms and their severity
• Understand your medical and mental health history
• Develop a tailored treatment plan
• Provide guidance on medication management, therapy, and advanced treatment options

Whether you’re seeking mental health support for the first time or looking for a second opinion, our team is here to help.

Do I Need a Psychiatric Evaluation?

If you’re unsure whether a psychiatric evaluation is right for you, consider the following questions:

• Have you been feeling persistently sad, anxious, or overwhelmed?
• Are mood swings, irritability, or emotional distress interfering with your relationships or work?
• Do you experience frequent panic attacks, obsessive thoughts, or compulsive behaviors?
• Are you struggling with concentration, impulsivity, or symptoms of ADHD?
• Have you experienced a traumatic event that is affecting your daily life?
• Are you using substances like alcohol or drugs to cope with stress or emotions?
• Have you had thoughts of self-harm or suicide?

If you answered yes to any of these questions, a psychiatric evaluation can help provide clarity, diagnosis, and a structured plan for treatment. Our compassionate team is here to support you every step of the way.

What to Expect During Your Psychiatric Evaluation

Your psychiatric evaluation at NeuroHealth Treatment Centers will be a confidential, compassionate, and judgment-free experience. Here’s what the process typically includes:

1. Clinical Interview & Medical History Review

• Discussion of your symptoms, emotions, behaviors, and life experiences
• Evaluation of medical history, family history, and past treatments
• Assessment of any current medications and their effectiveness

2. Psychological Assessment & Diagnosis

• If necessary, we may use standardized psychological tests
• Screening for mood disorders, anxiety disorders, trauma-related conditions, and other concerns

3. Personalized Treatment Recommendations

Based on our findings during the psychiatric evaluation, we develop a treatment plan based on your specific needs

Possible treatment options may include:

• Psychotherapy (Talk Therapy)
• Behavioral Activation Therapy
• Medication Management
• TMS Therapy (Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation)
• SPRAVATO® (Esketamine) for Treatment-Resistant Depression
• Holistic and Lifestyle-Based Interventions (exercise, dietary changes, mindfulness, etc.)

At NeuroHealth Treatment Centers, we embrace a philosophy known as integrative psychotherapy. This approach aims to optimize all aspects of mental health care, including the latest clinical treatments, medications, and therapeutic protocols. Our holistic approach to mental health is designed to address both immediate concerns and long-term well-being.
