Psychological Assessment

Dr. Imming practices a form of collaborative psychological testing known as "Therapeutic Assessment". Therapeutic Assessment is a semi-structured form of collaborative psychological assessment developed by Stephen Finn and his colleagues at the Center for Therapeutic Assessment. Therapeutic Assessment can be used for many of the same purposes as traditional psychological assessment: diagnostic clarification, treatment planning, and treatment evaluation. However, in addition, research has shown that Therapeutic Assessment can be a powerful therapeutic intervention for clients and their families, reducing symptomatology, increasing self-esteem and self-compassion, and promoting positive relationships between family members.

Dr. Imming accepts referrals from other therapists and psychiatrists who wish for assistance in differential diagnosis as well as to facilitate making new headway with patients who have made progress but hit a plateau in their own therapy.

Group

Sometimes Eating is Not about the Food

When individuals find themselves emotionally eating, as a result of anxiety, anger, depression, or boredom, food is serving a purpose much more complex than simply meeting nutritional needs. Dr. Imming's group focuses on the source of the emotional eating and helps to build new ways of understanding and coping with such behaviors. Topics for the group discussions include relationship issues, body image concerns, and stress. Members find support among others who face similar problems. If you find yourself eating when you aren't really hungry, exercising but not losing weight, or desiring a way to accomplish your goals, please call Dr. Imming to set up a consultation to determine if the group is appropriate for your specific needs.
