No, you do not need a referral. You can contact The Cohen Clinic directly to book your free 15-minute phone consultation and begin the process.
Assessments are completed by qualified psychologists who use structured interviews, standardized tools, and clinical judgment to arrive at a diagnosis and recommendations.
The process starts with a 15-minute phone consultation, followed by assessment appointments that may span one or more sessions, depending on your needs. Afterward, time is dedicated to preparing your written report and holding a feedback session.
Not everyone who completes an assessment will receive a formal diagnosis. Your clinician will discuss whether your symptoms meet diagnostic criteria and will always provide recommendations, whether or not a diagnosis is given.
The Cohen Clinic provides assessments tailored to the needs of each client. During your initial consultation, the Clinic Coordinator can help determine whether the clinic’s services are suitable for your age group and situation.
After your feedback session, your clinician will review treatment options, therapy services, and other supports. The Cohen Clinic remains available to assist with ongoing therapy, referrals, or coordination of care, where appropriate.
