Psychiatric Evaluations

If you’re experiencing anxiety, mood changes, or emotional overwhelm, a psychiatric evaluation can help uncover what’s truly happening beneath the surface. This in-depth assessment provides insight into your mental health and guides the most effective plan forward. At Level Up Mental Wellness, we approach every evaluation with compassion, precision, and respect for your unique experiences. You will never be rushed — your story, symptoms, and goals are always taken seriously. Gaining clarity is often the first empowering step toward real healing.

Conditions we treat include the following:

• Anxiety Disorders (Generalized Anxiety, Panic, Social Anxiety)
  Anxiety disorders involve excessive worry, fear, or physical symptoms such as rapid heart rate, restlessness, or panic. They are often caused by genetics, past experiences, stress, or chemical imbalances in the brain.
• Depression and Mood Disorders
  These conditions affect how a person feels, thinks, and functions daily, often leading to persistent sadness, loss of interest, or hopelessness. They can be triggered by life events, trauma, hormonal changes, or biological factors.
• ADHD
  Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder affects focus, attention span, impulse control, and organization. It is linked to brain chemistry and genetics and may continue from childhood into adulthood.
• Bipolar Disorder
  Bipolar disorder involves extreme mood shifts ranging from depressive lows to manic or energized highs. It is commonly caused by genetic factors and chemical imbalances in the brain.
• Stress and Burnout
  Stress and burnout occur when mental or emotional pressure becomes overwhelming over time, impacting mood, energy, and performance. They are often caused by chronic work demands, life responsibilities, or unresolved emotional strain.
• Sleep Difficulties
  These include trouble falling asleep, staying asleep, or waking up unrefreshed despite adequate rest time. Sleep issues can stem from anxiety, stress, lifestyle habits, or underlying mental health conditions.
• Life Transitions and Adjustment Issues
  Major life changes — such as career shifts, relocation, loss, or new roles — can create emotional stress and difficulty adapting. Adjustment issues occur when these changes overwhelm one’s ability to cope or maintain stability.
• Emotional Regulation and Coping
  This involves difficulty managing intense emotions like anger, sadness, or anxiety in healthy ways. It may be shaped by past trauma, stress, or learned behavioral patterns.
• Self-Esteem and Confidence Building
  Low self-esteem involves persistent self-doubt, negative self-talk, and a lack of self-worth. It can result from past criticism, trauma, comparison, or long-term emotional stress.
