Comprehensive Psychiatric Evaluation
At Mindful Oasis, we understand that mental health is deeply personal and unique to each individual. Our comprehensive evaluations are designed to provide a thorough understanding of your mental health, considering every aspect of your life to develop a treatment plan tailored to your needs.
What Is a Comprehensive Psychiatric Evaluation?
A comprehensive psychiatric evaluation is an in-depth process used to diagnose emotional, behavioral, and cognitive disorders. At Mindful Oasis, we focus on adult clients (18 and older) and take a holistic approach, assessing mental health in relation to physical health, environmental factors, lifestyle, family history, and overall well-being.
What Does the Evaluation Involve?
Each evaluation is personalized, but it typically includes:
- Understanding Your Concerns: We start by learning about your mental health history, current challenges, and goals.
- Symptom Assessment: We assess emotional, behavioral, and physical symptoms to identify patterns and their impact on your daily life.
- Personal and Family History: A detailed review of your medical, psychiatric, and family history to identify potential contributing factors.
- Psychiatric Interview: A structured discussion to explore your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors.
- Functional Impact: Evaluating how symptoms affect your work, relationships, and overall quality of life.
- Additional Testing (If Needed): We may recommend lab work or other diagnostic tests, such as bloodwork or imaging studies, to rule out underlying medical conditions.
Conditions We Evaluate and Diagnose
We specialize in assessing and diagnosing a wide range of mental health conditions, including but not limited to:
- Mood Disorders

Our Comprehensive Approach
We believe a thorough evaluation is the foundation for effective care. At Mindful Oasis, we take the time to:
- Understand You as a Whole Person: Mental health cannot be separated from the physical, social, and emotional aspects of your life.
- Provide Clarity and Reassurance: We help you understand your symptoms and diagnosis in a compassionate, nonjudgmental space.
- Involve Your Support Network: With your consent, we can collaborate with family members or caregivers to ensure you feel supported in your treatment journey.
What to Expect After Your Evaluation
Once your evaluation is complete, we will work with you to develop an individualized treatment plan. This may include psychotropic medications, therapy recommendations, or lifestyle adjustments. We aim to empower you with the tools and strategies you need to achieve mental wellness.
