Psychological Test Assessment
Supporting families and professionals with psychological testing and assessment in Ottawa.
“Understanding your mental health or cognitive profile shouldn’t be another hurdle to clear.
Whether you are navigating a return to work, seeking support for your child’s success at school, or simply looking for personal answers, having the right documentation is a vital part of your journey.”
What is a Psychological Assessment?
A psychological assessment is a structured evaluation designed to provide a deeper understanding of how a person is functioning emotionally, cognitively, and behaviourally. By looking at personality, cognitive abilities, core challenges, and behavioural patterns, these assessments help build a clearer picture of how those factors affect daily life.
At Renew Neurotherapy, this process helps clarify diagnostic questions and guide treatment planning so that subsequent therapy is focused, relevant, and effective. Rather than looking only at symptoms, an assessment helps identify the underlying factors shaping your experience, allowing you and your team to tailor support to your specific needs, strengths, and goals.

Dr. Jeff Phillips offers psychological assessment through Renew Neurotherapy at our Ottawa location.
Psychological testing is used as a tool to support diagnosis and help guide treatment. Although it might sound intimidating, it is designed to help you achieve better health.
As the American Psychological Association tells us, “Psychological tests and assessments allow a psychologist to understand the nature of the problem, and to figure out the best way to go about addressing it.”
Psychological testing helps you and your therapy team by clarifying the challenges you might encounter, providing a diagnosis, and developing a treatment plan.
The best treatment approach for you varies depending on a number of factors such as your diagnosis, your strengths, challenges, home environment, occupation and more. Psychological testing can help increase the efficiency of your therapy by providing clear and concrete direction
A psycho-educational assessment is completed to develop an understanding of your/your child’s academic skills and cognitive abilities.
The underlying cause of a person’s problems isn’t always clear. For example, if a child is having trouble in school, does he or she have a reading problem such as dyslexia? An attention problem such as attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)? Difficulty with impulse control?
In addition to showing how an individual learns, an assessment can provide a diagnosis that impacts learning and identify any other social/emotional/behavioural or psychological problems.
Following your psycho-educational assessment, Dr. Phillips will provide recommendations for further therapy, home and school support.
Psycho-vocational assessments are also sometimes referred to as ‘career tests.’ They can help to identify areas of vocational strengths and possible barriers to employment or education.
People work and learn in many different ways. To choose an optimal career path or customize your approach to your work activities, it is important to be aware of your unique pattern of abilities, interests, personality traits and work styles.
A vocational assessment can help you to identify careers, workplace modifications, and educational programs that are well matched to your strengths, and can help develop specific strategies to meet your vocational goals.
Our team uses a variety of evidence-based approaches to ensure your care is tailored to your specific journey. These methods provide different ways to understand your experiences and develop new patterns of being.
