Diagnostic assessment involves a semi-structured clinical interview that will serve to comprehensively understand the mental health symptoms you are experiencing, and will evaluate if these symptoms meet criteria for diagnosis of a psychological disorder(s). This assessment process will also include supplementary psychological self-report measures (if applicable) as well as treatment recommendations provided by Dr. Zalan. Diagnostic assessments can be provided at the onset of treatment, or as a stand-alone psychological service.

Dr. Zalan provides professional consultation services to health care professionals related to therapeutic techniques (i.e. CBT) and/or specific clinical presentations (i.e. OCD).
