Clinical Assessments in Crown Point, IN

Comprehensive Evaluations to Support Growth and Healing

Understanding a client’s unique needs is the foundation for effective treatment. That’s why clinical assessments are often the first step in therapy. A thorough evaluation helps identify strengths, challenges, and the right level of care to support healing and growth.

At Catalyst Counseling, we provide clinical assessments in Crown Point, IN, and across Northwest Indiana for children, teens, and adults. Our assessments are professional, evidence-based, and tailored to each client’s circumstances.

What Is a Clinical Assessment?

A clinical assessment is a structured evaluation that gathers important information about:

  • Mental health history

  • Current symptoms (anxiety, depression, trauma, etc.)

  • Behavioral patterns and functioning

  • Family, school, or social context

  • Strengths, goals, and support systems

Assessments may include clinical interviews, questionnaires, observation, and review of records. The goal is to develop a clear picture of a client’s needs and guide next steps in treatment planning.

Types of Assessments We Provide

Our team conducts a variety of evaluations, including:

  • General Clinical Assessments – for adults and teens seeking therapy services.

  • Child and Adolescent Assessments – addressing behavior, emotions, and family context.

  • Trauma-Informed Assessments – focusing on the impact of past experiences.

  • Sexual Behavior Assessments (Psychosexual) – specialized evaluations for youth with problematic or harmful sexual behaviors.

  • Parenting and Family Assessments – to support family functioning and treatment recommendations.

Why Clinical Assessments Matter

A well-done assessment ensures:

  • Accurate diagnosis and treatment planning

  • Personalized recommendations for therapy or other supports

  • Stronger outcomes by starting with the right goals
