Stress, tension, conflicts and depression are all a
part of the cycle of living. Often, these problems can be resolved without professional
help. At other times, professional counseling can provide objective guidance and help
develop necessary coping skills.

Diagnostic Evaluation
A broad spectrum of diagnostic tools is available for a
complete assessment of the nature and scope of an individual’s difficulties. The
clinical staff at JFS can provide and arrange psychosocial, psychological and psychiatric
evaluations. Data is gathered to develop an integrated treatment plan specifically
designed to meet an individual’s needs.
The initial phase of treatment is frequently a difficult and frightening time.
Prior to formal recommendations, the clinical staff will outline the therapeutic process.
The individual’s social, educational and occupational history as well as current
information related to home and career life is carefully explored.
- Psychological Evaluation:
Psychological testing and evaluation are tools for revealing a wide range of
information related to problems to an individual’s level of functioning . JFS’
consulting licensed psychologist administers this evaluation and assists in the design of
a treatment plan.
Difficulty with concentration, appetite or sleep may signal the presence of a chemical
imbalance possibly requiring medical treatment. Jewish Family Service’s consulting
psychiatrists will evaluate the individual and, if medication is prescribed, will monitor
the medical aspect of the comprehensive treatment approach.
