Mental Health Assessment
for School Age Children

Winter Garden Wellness now offers a comprehensive mental health assessment for school age children. This evaluation helps parents understand concerns related to behavior, attention, mood, or emotional wellbeing. If you are noticing signs of ADHD, anxiety, depression, or changes that have you worried, this process brings everything together in a simple and guided way. Using trusted, research based tools, our assessment provides clear insight into what your child may be experiencing and gives you the information you need to make confident decisions about therapy, school support, and next steps for care.

How a Counselor Guides Your Family Through This Process

Choosing a mental health counselor to guide this process gives your family a thoughtful, personal approach that many parents find comforting. A counselor spends time getting to know your child, listening to your concerns, and understanding the challenges you see at home and at school. This relationship helps ensure that the evaluation reflects the whole picture, not just a quick screening. Once complete, you can take the results to your child’s pediatrician to support conversations about accommodations, school needs, or any next steps. Many families appreciate having a clear, detailed report in hand when meeting with teachers, pediatricians, or other providers who are helping their child succeed.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the benefits of having this assessment done?

Having this assessment gives you clarity, confidence, and a reliable understanding of what your child is experiencing. Instead of wondering or guessing, you receive a detailed picture of your child’s emotional and behavioral needs. This helps ensure that any therapy or support is truly tailored to them and that concerns such as ADHD, anxiety, or depression are identified early. You can also share the results with your pediatrician or your child’s school to support requests for accommodations, services, or next steps in care. Many parents feel a real sense of relief knowing they have solid information, a written report, and a clear plan for helping their child move forward.

During the assessment, your child will meet one on one with the therapist in a calm, supportive setting. The therapist will guide them through age appropriate questions and activities designed to understand their behavior, emotions, attention, and overall wellbeing. Parents and teachers may also be asked to complete short online questionnaires to provide additional insight into how your child is functioning at home and at school. These different pieces work together to create a complete picture of your child’s needs. The process is gentle, straightforward, and designed to help your child feel comfortable while giving you meaningful information you can trust.

The total cost of the assessment is $495. This includes your initial consultation with the therapist to talk through your concerns and decide if the assessment is the right next step. It also covers the full administration and scoring of all assessment tools, any parent or teacher questionnaires, and a written multi page report that explains the results in clear, easy to understand language. Finally, you will have a follow up appointment with the therapist to review the findings together, answer your questions, and discuss recommendations and next steps for supporting your child at home, at school, and with other providers.

The first step is to schedule a parent consultation. This allows us to learn more about your child, your family’s needs, and to create a plan together. From there, we’ll schedule your child’s assessment and start the process.

I highly recommend Bryan for individual and couples therapy. He always made me feel comfortable and I felt like I could be myself which is super important when going to counseling.
icon Tessa L.

I met with Bryan for about 8 months. I began meeting with him individually (for about 5 months) and for the final 3 months, my partner and I went together. We cannot be any more emphatic when we say that our experience with Bryan was wonderful.

Bryan demonstrates a superb level of care and commitment to his clients. He fosters an environment of openness, honesty, and acceptance that allows clients to confront their flaws and limitations in order to heal and make changes for the better. It is clear that Bryan is in this profession for all the right reasons and is gifted as a counselor. I would strongly recommend him to anyone.

Thank you Bryan!

I went alone in hopes that he could help with some relationship issues I was unable to solve on my own. Bryan has been nothing short of a miracle in my life.
icon Maria F.
The time and money we spent were without a doubt, one of the very best investments we have made for our marriage. The care and commitment with which Bryan treats his clients are outstanding.
