Psychological Assessments in Mumbai with Shyamolie Desai
Accurate Assessments for Clarity, Diagnosis & Better Mental Health Planning
Psychological assessments help you understand what may not always be visible on the surface — your thoughts, emotions, behaviour patterns, and cognitive functioning.
As a clinical psychologist in Mumbai, I conduct structured and detailed assessments for adults, children, and adolescents to help bring clarity to your concerns.
These assessments are based on a combination of clinical interviews, standardised psychological tests, and careful interpretation, allowing us to understand your concerns in a clear and meaningful way.
The goal is not just diagnosis, but to guide the next steps — whether that is therapy, support, or further intervention.
Psychological Assessments for Adults
Psychological assessments for adults help in understanding emotional concerns, personality patterns, and possible mental health conditions. They provide clarity and direction for therapy and decision-making.
As a clinical psychologist in Mumbai, I offer the following assessments for adults:
Personality Assessments
These help understand personality traits, emotional functioning, and interpersonal patterns. Tools may include assessments such as MCMI-III and MMPI-2.
Projective & Psychopathology Assessments
These assessments explore deeper emotional processes and underlying concerns. Tools may include the Rorschach Inkblot Test, Thematic Apperception Test, and other projective methods.
ADHD Assessments (Adults)
These assess attention, impulsivity, and executive functioning using standardised tools and clinical evaluation.
Emotional & Behavioural Assessments
These help understand concerns such as anxiety, depression, stress, anger, burnout, and relationship difficulties.
Neuropsychological Screening
Basic cognitive and memory functioning can be assessed using tools such as the Bender Gestalt Test and Wechsler Memory Scale.
At the end of the process, you receive a detailed report, along with clear recommendations and guidance for the next steps.
Psychological Assessments for Children & Adolescents
Early assessment helps identify concerns at the right time and allows for appropriate support. These assessments focus on emotional, behavioural, developmental, and learning-related needs.
As a clinical psychologist in Mumbai, I work with children and adolescents using age-appropriate tools and techniques.
IQ Assessments
These assess intellectual functioning, learning ability, and processing skills in children and adolescents.
ADHD Assessments
These evaluate attention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity using structured tools along with parent and teacher inputs.
Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) Assessments
These help understand social communication, behaviour patterns, and developmental concerns.
Developmental Assessments
These focus on early developmental milestones such as speech, motor skills, and social development.
Emotional & Behavioural Assessments
These help understand concerns such as anxiety, anger, mood changes, school difficulties, and social challenges. Tools like MACI-II, Children’s Apperception Test, and others may be used where relevant.
I also guide parents in understanding their child’s needs and recommend appropriate therapy, school support, or interventions where required.
