Psychological Testing & Evaluation

Sometimes the hardest part of getting support is not knowing exactly what you're working with. Trouble focusing at school or work might be connected to ADHD, anxiety, a learning difference, or a mix of several things at once. Psychological testing is a structured way to look at the full picture, so that care can be shaped around what is going on for you or your child.

Psychological Testing and Evaluation

When an evaluation can help

A green underline.

People come to testing with different questions. Some of the most common:


  • Wondering whether ADHD is part of the picture, for a child, a teen, or yourself as an adult
  • Questions about autism, including for adults who have wondered about it for years
  • Overlapping experiences, such as attention, mood, and anxiety, that are hard to separate
  • Needing documentation that may support a request for school or workplace accommodations
  • A therapist, pediatrician, or prescriber suggesting testing to help inform next steps


You don't need to know which question fits. The intake conversation is where that gets sorted out.

What the process looks like

A green underline.

Every evaluation is shaped around the question being asked, so the details vary. In general:


  • Intake conversation: A conversation about history, current concerns, and what you hope to learn. For children and teens, parents or caregivers are part of this.
  • Testing appointments: Time with Dr. Bagga completing tasks, questionnaires, and structured activities.
  • Input from others: With your permission, rating forms may be gathered from parents, teachers, or partners to add perspective.
  • Feedback session: Dr. Bagga walks through the results with you, answers questions, and talks through recommendations.
  • Written report: A report you can keep and, if you choose, share with schools, employers, or other providers.

Do you have a question? Feel free to give us a call and also take a look at some of our most frequently asked questions.

  • What is the difference between psychological testing and a psychiatric evaluation?

    A psychiatric evaluation with one of our PMHNP-BC providers is a clinical interview focused on symptoms, history, and whether medication may be a helpful part of care. Psychological testing uses standardized measures over several appointments to look more closely at areas like attention, thinking, social communication, and emotional patterns. Some people benefit from one, some from both. Our intake team can help you figure out where to start.

  • Do I need a referral?

    No. You can request an evaluation directly. Referrals from pediatricians, schools, therapists, and other providers are also welcome.

  • Is psychological testing covered by insurance?

    Right now, psychological testing at Calm Clarity is self-pay while we complete insurance credentialing. We'll update this page as insurance options become available.

  • Can testing be done by telehealth?

    Some evaluations can be. ADHD and autism evaluations for children and teens take place in person at our Denver office. Some parts of adult evaluations can be completed by telehealth, and our intake team can tell you what's available for your situation.

  • Will my child's school accept the report?

    Many schools and colleges consider outside evaluations when reviewing support plans or accommodations. Each one sets its own requirements, so it can help to ask the school what they need before testing begins.

  • Who sees the results?

    You do. With your written consent, results can also be shared with your Calm Clarity therapist or prescriber, or with providers outside our practice.
