The goal at Braden Counseling Center has always been one thing: to help you back to a full life once again, with new skills to help maintain balance. We have been providing services for DUI, driver’s license reinstatement, substance abuse, domestic violence, and anger management, for individuals, couples and families. Now, we are including comprehensive psychiatric services to the many things we do at our Geneva location.

You have nothing to lose and everything to gain when you contact us for psychiatric services in and around Geneva, IL.

Psychological Testing and Assessment

If you are ordered to undergo a psych evaluation in Geneva, know that we also do court-ordered psychological evaluations, among other evaluations and assessments, to determine how to help you. Just as your primary physician will examine your body for physical ailments, our staff will do the same for your mind.

Peace of Mind

If you or a loved one suffer from daily anxiety, there is help out there for you. Everyone experiences stress, but some people are better than others at handling it. At Braden Counseling Center in Geneva, we use a proven, modern approach to each psychological assessment to help you find serenity again. We get to the very heart of the matter, devise a plan for you, and help you to begin healing.

Child Psychological Evaluation

Living through stressful times is difficult enough for adults. For children, it can be much more challenging, as they are not equipped with past experiences to make sense of their situation. As a result, children often act out.

When a child falls behind in school, it is many people’s first inclination to suggest that they are lazy with schoolwork and should work harder. The problem could go far beyond laziness, however. Issues such as parental divorce, a death of a family member, vision or hearing problems, or bullying might be the cause of a child’s out-of-character or antisocial behavior. Our psychological testing and assessment providers in Geneva will get them the help they need now.

Components of a Psychological Evaluation

A psychological evaluation at our Geneva location has numerous components. These include:

The Therapist – This person must understand the client fully. He or she must learn what has led their client into the trouble they are dealing with, and what methods will best to help.
The Client – Every patient must be open and truthful about their life. He or she should explore what has led them to this moment and be willing to accept positive changes.
The Psychiatric Provider – This person is responsible for understanding which psychiatric medication might be needed to treat their client.
Trust – This is a two-way street. Both sides will need to spend time and effort focused on healing. For both, patience and perseverance reap great rewards.

David was incredibly great. Most people would feel very closed out and possibly shy as a client. However, David made me feel very comfortable and was very helpful and detailed in conversation while being very professional. I left very satisfied and looking forward to his services!!!

I called so many other counseling office first, either no one answer the call or no confirmed days for class, with Braden, right away, walk me through the process, fees and needed information, able to set up appointment next day to do the testing and schedule me the class right way. very helpful, not like some other place asked me to fill out so many medical forms although just 10 hours DUI Risk Education.I am really happy with them, they are also not charge as much as other company.

I see Amanda Cimaglia and she is by far the most compassionate, respecting and caring counselor I've had. With all the craziness I'm going through she really keeps me grounded. Always listens to me and never ever rushes me but gives me time for her positive feedback.I've always had trouble trusting someone with my issues because I'd find out that the counselor did not go according to her perfession but listen to others to get something out of me. I never had once had that once with Amanda Cimaglia and she let's me work through things I need to at my own pace. And for that I thank her 😊 . She has my mental health at her best interest. Wish there was more counselors out there like her so others can have a safe spot to speak without judgment like I do.From the very bottom of my heart, thank you Amanada Cimaglia and Braden Counseling for having her on board. I'm sure all your staff and team members are just as compassionate ❤️

I was an emotional wreck when I first went. I was nervous and probably not making a lot of sense. The staff seemed to understand and immediately put me at ease. By the time I left, life just didn’t seem so bad. Thank you Braden Center for being there.
