Quick answer
A mental health assessment is a structured evaluation of your emotional and psychological wellbeing. Through an interview and standardized questionnaires, a clinician explores your symptoms, history, stressors and strengths, then summarizes the findings and recommends next steps, such as counselling, a referral or further assessment.
An assessment can clarify concerns like anxiety, depression, trauma, stress or burnout. Where a formal medical diagnosis or medication is needed, we will recommend involving a physician, psychiatrist or psychologist.
