Psychological practice vs. EAP?
- An EAP (Employee Assistance Program) is a general approach to individual counseling for clients of all occupations. As a psychological practice we specialize in mental health services provided to the law enforcement/first responder community. Our providers are culturally competent and skilled in the public safety disciplines (e.g., fire, dispatcher and police).
Psychologist vs. mental health clinician?
- Psychologists are distinct from other mental health professionals because of their extensive training in the assessment of psychological issues/disorders. Assessments range from screeners and questionnaires to an extensive test battery that consists of a clinical interview and several standardized and objective psychological assessments for a
specified purpose. Psychologists are trained to interpret psychological testing in the consideration of an individuals’ context, in combination with test results current psychological research to answer a specific referral question (e.g., PTSD, ADHD, depression).
Why we use psychological assessments?
- Psychological testing gives our doctors a psychological snap shot into a clients mental well being. This allows our providers to work with their client on endorsed mental health/personality scales.
