Assessments

The Brainerd, Sartell, and Mankato offices book up quickly for assessment/evaluation services.
​It is important to receive referral information in a timely fashion to avoid delays with scheduling.

 Our comprehensive assessments typically take between 4 to 6 hours to complete.
In some instances, completing the assessment over two appointments may be necessary.


CORE offers assessment services to adults and juveniles aged 12 and older. If you are seeking an assessment for a juvenile under the age of 12, please contact one of our offices to discuss if we can accommodate their needs.


Anger Assessment

Anger Assessments are completed for individuals, couples, social services, and corrections agents to examine the need for an intervention or therapy to address concerns. Personality testing and anger inventories are administered, and recommendations are made for services when appropriate.

Cognitive Status Assessment*

Cognitive Status Assessments examine an individual's strengths and deficits, by utilizing intelligence testing, level of independent functioning examinations, memory testing, and through testing of academic abilities. These assessments are used by agencies to identify an individual's qualification for additional services. They are also used by parents to examine the strengths and areas which need more attention with their children. At times, individuals have requested this testing to examine possible cognitive deterioration.
*Cognitive Status Assessments are currently only administered in the Sartell and Brainerd office locations.

Domestic Violence Assessment

Domestic Violence Assessments, using the Domestic Violence Inventory (DVI), are completed for individuals, social services, court orders, and corrections agents to examine the need for an intervention or therapy to address specific concerns. Personality testing and additional inventories are administered, and recommendations are made for services when appropriate. 

Domestic Violence Inventory

Domestic Violence Inventories are completed for individuals, social services, court orders, and corrections agents to examine the need for an intervention or therapy to address specific concerns. Additional inventories are administered and recommendations are made for services when appropriate. 

Psychological Assessment

Psychological Assessments are completed to examine a person's mental health status. Personality testing, depression inventories, and other specific instruments are administered as appropriate for the referral question. Psychological Assessments are used to examine basic mental health issues, as well as appropriateness for employment in specific areas. Namely, to clarify interpersonal deficits or underlying mental illness, and to simply make recommendations to improve the quality of life.

Psychosexual Assessment

Psychosexual Assessments are completed to assess concerning sexual behavior and to develop effective solutions which address the problematic sexual behavior. Our Psychosexual assessments meet all of the criteria requested by the Department of Corrections and are highly regarded in court. Many of the Psychosexual Assessments completed at CORE are not court ordered. Personality testing and risk assessments (as appropriate) are included, along with an examination of sexual history and a detailed description of diagnostic issues. We utilize Dynamic Risk Assessments.

Medical Procedure Assessment

Assessments for Medical Procedures are completed for a variety of reasons, including appropriateness for bariatric surgery, plastic surgery and surrogate motherhood. CORE utilizes the Millon Behavioral Medical Diagnostic (MBMD) assessment in such cases, which is a personality assessment specifically designed for medical procedures, in addition to other appropriate personality or cognitive tests.
