Mental Health Evaluation

Psychiatric & Mental Health Evaluations at RCL Behavioral Center
When symptoms interfere with your work, school, or relationships, a thorough evaluation can bring clarity and relief. Our evaluations are conducted by licensed psychiatric professionals who listen carefully, ask targeted questions, and translate complex findings into a straightforward plan.

Your visit typically includes:

• Clinical interview: current concerns, history, family/medical background, and goals
• Screening measures: standardized tools for mood, anxiety, attention, sleep, and trauma‑related symptoms
• Medication review: benefits, side effects, interactions, and alternatives
• Risk & safety assessment: collaborative planning to support your well‑being
• Diagnosis & next steps: clear explanation and an actionable treatment plan

Treatment planning may include: referrals for psychotherapy, group programs, skills training, medication options (when clinically indicated), care coordination with primary care or school/work supports, and a follow‑up schedule. When useful, we can order labs or request past records to inform care [clinic policy].
Note: Controlled‑substance prescribing follows strict guidelines and may not occur at a first visit.

How to prepare
Bring a list of medications/supplements, relevant records, and your ID/insurance card. [For child/adolescent evaluations, a parent/guardian should attend—if applicable.]
