What Are Psychiatric Evaluations?
A psychiatric evaluation at Brain Health Center offers a comprehensive look at behavioral, emotional, and cognitive challenges that are interfering with daily life. Unlike conventional evaluations, we go beyond standard assessments and delve into a holistic brain-body approach to identify the root causes of your symptoms. This allows us to develop customized, evidence-based treatment plans designed to support lasting wellness and improved brain function.
We Remove the Guesswork from Psychiatry
Personalized, Precision-Based Psychiatry
At Brain Health Center, we recognize that no two individuals are the same—especially when it comes to the brain. That’s why we don’t use generic, one-size-fits-all treatment plans. Instead, we evaluate all aspects of your psychiatric assessment and use this information to design a personalized plan that matches your unique needs and goals.
We focus on the least toxic, most effective solutions with a higher-than-average success rate. Your tailored treatment plan may include:
Brain-supportive nutraceuticals
Nutrition and dietary modifications
Cognitive training and exercises
Functional and integrative medicine
Hormone optimization
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy
Prescription medications (when necessary)

Reframing Mental Health as Brain Health
When we view mental health through the lens of brain health:
- Conditions are seen as medical—not moral—issues
- It reduces shame, stigma, and guilt
- Promotes understanding, compassion, and family support
- Builds hope and optimism for recovery
- Increases treatment compliance—people want better brains
2 Ways Psychiatric Evaluations at Brain Health Center Are Different:
1: The 4 Circles of Health & Illness
We evaluate each patient through the lens of the 4 Circles of Health, taking into account the full picture of their life and health:
Biological Circle: Physical and medical history, lifestyle habits, diet, exercise, toxin exposure, brain injuries, and family health history.
Psychological Circle: Thinking patterns, past trauma, childhood development, internal self-talk, and self-image.
Social Circle: Quality of relationships, social support system, work and school life, financial stress, and family dynamics.
Spiritual Circle: Sense of purpose, connection to something greater, generational values, and spiritual or existential beliefs.
This model helps us uncover all contributing factors to your symptoms, offering a clear roadmap toward healing.
2: Neuropsychological Testing for Deeper Insights
As part of your evaluation, you’ll complete two specialized tests to assess how your brain functions compared to others your age. These tools help pinpoint key areas that need support:
Conners Continuous Performance Test-II (CPT-II) – Evaluates attention span, impulse control, and response speed.
WebNeuro – Measures key areas of cognitive performance, emotional regulation, stress response, and psychological wellness including depression, anxiety, and resilience.
