What Is a Psychiatric Evaluation?

A psychiatric evaluation is a comprehensive assessment conducted by a licensed mental health professional—such as a psychiatrist, psychiatric nurse practitioner, or psychologist—to:

  • Evaluate your emotional and cognitive health

  • Identify patterns and symptoms affecting your daily life

  • Diagnose mental health conditions accurately

  • Recommend the right treatment plan tailored to your needs


At Grace Health Services LLC, our evaluations are confidential, patient-centered, and designed to help you take control of your mental health.
