Family Planning Mental Health Evaluations

You’re ready to expand your family and you’re required to do an evaluation.

So, you’ve never had an evaluation and now, an agency, a physician, or a caseworker is requiring you to have your mental health assessed.

This is happening at a time of your life when you feel ready to expand your family. Wouldn’t you know what is best? Why is an evaluation, with a complete stranger, required?

In so many ways you are correct. This is not magic, and I cannot read your thoughts. We’ll talk about the benefits and challenges, and perhaps even some factors you had not considered, so that you can make the best choices for you and your family.

You’re as ready as it gets. Now make it official.

Mental health evaluations for family planning are designed to assess your current mental health status as well as your coping skills, adjustment, and readiness for this exciting journey.

Agencies, especially international adoption agencies, can be very particular about their requirements for evaluations. I understand the uniqueness of each type of evaluation.

I look forward to speaking with you about your hopes, dreams, plans and preparation for expanding your family through IVF, adoption, or foster care.

A Secure Foundation for Your New Addition

Step-by-step, from the information I provide you, through the questions I ask you along the way, and right up to the final report, I will address those requirements.

Working with a psychologist who knows your unique situation as well as the process required to complete an evaluation, is a helpful and necessary journey.

I have years of experience working with foster care agencies, adoption agencies, caseworkers, and physicians, completing evaluations that meet the requirements and provide insight into the situation.
