Diagnostic Screening & Comprehensive Psychological Evaluations

The Rochester Center for Behavioral Medicine is committed to an accurate diagnosis. We believe that before appropriate treatment (medication, psychotherapy, nutrition therapy) can be implemented, it is imperative to identify the extent and severity of your mental health condition. 

Central to our approach is diagnostic screening, which plays a crucial role in this process. To enhance your care, we proudly present MindMetrix, an innovative protocol that harnesses industry-leading, peer-reviewed psychiatric rating scales. MindMetrix is expertly crafted to identify increased probabilities for over 60 mental health conditions. By screening for symptoms associated with these psychiatric conditions, we ensure that no co-occurring symptoms or conditions go overlooked. Best of all, this screening is conducted entirely online, allowing you to engage in the process from the comfort and privacy of your own home.

In addition to our diagnostic screening services, RCBM offers comprehensive psychological evaluations and testing for a variety of conditions, including Specific Learning Disorders in Reading, Mathematics, and/or Writing (previously known as Dyslexia, Dyscalculia, or Dysgraphia), Intellectual Disabilities, Autism Spectrum Disorder, Guardianship Evaluations, and High-Stakes Exam Accommodations Evaluations (such as ACT, SAT, LSAT, MCAT). We believe in working closely with patients, their families, and schools or employers to provide meaningful support following evaluations. Evaluations are conducted face-to-face at our welcoming office. 

What is the difference between diagnostic screening and a comprehensive psychological evaluation?

• RCBM’s Diagnostic Screening is the first step toward a full psychological/psychoeducational evaluation. It provides some of the required documentation for Specific Learning Disabilities, Intellectual Disorder, and Autism Spectrum Disorder and it helps ensure that a full evaluation is necessary.
• In other words, Diagnostic Screening can rule out these conditions, but it is insufficient to diagnose (or confirm) these conditions are present for you.
• The results from your diagnostic screening will be reviewed at your results appointment by your licensed mental health clinician. If further evaluation is warranted for one of these conditions, the screening data will be used in conjunction with a full evaluation conducted by one of our licensed psychologists.
• Additional assessments that are completed through the Comprehensive Evaluation process, may be necessary to meet the accommodation requirements set forth by the organization that you are requesting accommodations at, such as your college or university.
• Psychological Evaluations are NOT billable to any insurance.
