Personality and Biochemical Evaluations

Effective psychotherapy begins with the correct diagnosis.

Sometimes loved ones cannot tell us that they are in pain. They are agitated, irritable and withdrawn and may lash out in frustration and anger. Performance at work or school may suffer and disobedient behavior becomes frequent along with noncompliance with simple, routine tasks.

At Gearing Up, we have helped thousands of families discover the real problem their loved one is experiencing. Clinical depression, anxiety and stress are often the problem and counseling is instrumental in resolving these issues quickly and effectively.

Our assessment team uses the latest testing technology to answer the important questions about your loved one’s current general emotional wellbeing, coping skills, self image and self esteem, trust in others, coping abilities under adversity, empathy skills and much more.

Once the assessment is completed, the family meets with Dr. Milton Gearing to review the testing and the treatment plan. All questions and concerns are presented along with the therapist’s plan for improvement.

These assessments draw the “map” that assists the therapist in planning therapy.
