Mental health is a crucial part of our overall well-being, yet it can often be difficult to understand when something feels off. At Wholesome Psychology, with offices in both Edmonton and St. Albert, we offer professional mental health assessments to help you gain insight into your emotional and psychological health. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed, uncertain, or simply seeking answers, our compassionate team is here to support you every step of the way.
What Is a Mental Health Assessment?
A mental health assessment is a structured process conducted by a trained psychologist to evaluate emotional, behavioral, and psychological functioning. These assessments are used to better understand symptoms, clarify diagnoses, and inform treatment planning. At Wholesome Psychology, we view assessments not just as diagnostic tools, but as powerful instruments of clarity, empowerment, and healing.
Our mental health assessments may include interviews, observation, standardized psychological tests, and conversations about personal history, current challenges, and life context. This holistic view allows us to offer tailored recommendations that align with your goals and values.
Who Can Benefit from a Mental Health Assessment?
Many people seek assessments for different reasons. You might be:
- Struggling with anxiety or depression and unsure where to start.
- Experiencing emotional or cognitive changes that affect your daily life.
- A parent seeking answers about your child’s development or behaviour.
- Looking for clarity around trauma, PTSD, or stress-related symptoms.
- Concerned about postpartum mental health changes.
We work with individuals across the lifespan—from children and youth to adults and seniors—offering age-appropriate assessments and recommendations. If you're unsure whether an assessment is right for you, our intake specialists can help you decide during a confidential consultation.

- Formal Assessment – Depending on your needs, this may include psychological testing, diagnostic interviews, or behavioral evaluations.
- Feedback Session – Once the assessment is complete, we’ll meet to review the results and walk you through the findings.
