community based ASSESSMENTS in Denver, colorado

Community Based Services

Birch Psychology is proud to provide assessment services that increase accessibility to neighboring communities.

Tele-assessment

The following services are designed to allow access to care for individuals that live in remote areas, or have difficulty attending in-office appointments.

To properly conduct psychological assessments, clinicians will utilize an integration of the following, including site or home visits:

• Tele-health (online/video/phone, i.e., Zoom) appointments for the initial interviews and feedback. Any stakeholder interviews (e.g., teachers) will be conducted (as usual) via phone.

• Online platform assessment measures: certain measures are available for administration remotely. Assessors will guide individuals on how to confidentially (and with the appropriate psychometric guidelines) complete measures remotely.

• At home rating forms: Hard copy rating forms, that are typically provide at the office to be completed at home, will be mailed.

• There will be measures that cannot be completed remotely. Birch psychology assessors will coordinate, with individuals and families, a plan that integrates site visits, home visits, or office visits (depending on individual situations). This plan will be discussed during your phone consultation.

• If assessments involve working with clients/patients in other states or countries, assessors will work to understand jurisdiction and licensure factors (including temporary licensure needs on the part of the clinician).

Mountain/Rural Services

Our clinicians may be able to travel to certain communities including Park and Summit County (among others). Our clinicians in the past have provided assessment services to bordering states that have a shortage of providers, including Montana and Wyoming. In doing so, our clinicians seek and obtain temporary licensure which may require several weeks to establish.

School Based Services

Birch Psychology is partnering with local schools (public and private) to provide assessment services on site.
