Diagnostic Screening | Capstone Mental Health
At Capstone Mental Health, we believe accurate diagnosis is the cornerstone of effective mental health care. Our comprehensive diagnostic screening process is designed to uncover the root causes of your symptoms, providing clarity and a pathway to tailored treatment plans that meet your unique needs.
What is Diagnostic Screening?
Diagnostic screening involves a thorough assessment of your mental health through clinical interviews, standardized tests, and other tools to evaluate your emotional, psychological, and behavioral well-being. This process helps identify underlying conditions such as:
Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)
Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
By understanding your mental health profile, we can develop personalized treatment plans to address your specific concerns.

Standardized Assessments: We use evidence-based screening tools to objectively measure symptoms and identify patterns that may indicate specific mental health conditions.
Clinical Interviews: Our providers conduct in-depth interviews to better understand your experiences, challenges, and goals.
Collaboration with Care Providers: When appropriate, we collaborate with primary care physicians, therapists, or other specialists to gather additional insights into your health.
Feedback Session: Once the evaluation is complete, we provide clear, detailed feedback and discuss your diagnosis and treatment recommendations.
