We will generally complete a psychiatric assessment in anywhere from 1-3 visits though specifics can vary from student to student. During this process, we may, with your written permission, consult with other professionals (therapists, medical professionals, etc.) about you or refer you for medical and/or psychological testing. Being evaluated by a psychiatrist does not ensure continued services beyond the evaluation period. Part of the purpose behind an initial evaluation process is to determine if treating your difficulties fall within the scope of care we are able to provide at Counseling Services
