Discovering Your Inner Compass

At Intrinsic Therapy, we believe that psychological assessment should be a transformative experience—one that not only clarifies but empowers. Rooted in evidence-based practices and current psychological research, our assessments are designed to help you better understand yourself in meaningful and practical ways.

Rather than focusing solely on diagnosis, Dr. May’s approach invites you into a deeper exploration of who you are. Through a series of thoughtfully paced appointments, she guides you through a comprehensive process that examines your core values, signature strengths, personality traits, and cognitive abilities. This journey is more than just data collection—it’s an opportunity to reconnect with your authentic self.

Whether you are seeking clarity around a diagnosis, exploring new vocational directions, or striving to live a more aligned and fulfilling life, Dr. May offers insight that supports your growth. The ultimate goal is to help you walk away not just with answers, but with a clear, cohesive narrative that honours your complexity and potential.

At the final session, you will receive a personalized, comprehensive psychological report—an empowering tool that you and Dr. May will review together. This report is designed not only to inform, but to inspire. It’s your story—reflected back with clarity, compassion, and purpose.

Assessments

We understand that the prospect of a psychological assessment may be overwhelming, but find comfort knowing that it can be a foundational step in your path towards self-discovery and healing. You’ll gain valuable insight into how you think, feel, and behave, exploring whether your current mental health challenges relate to personality traits, emotional coping mechanisms, behavioural strategies, social skills, or specific diagnoses.

Dr. May currently offers the following psychological assessments:

Disorder-Specific Assessment

A focused evaluation for identifying or clarifying a particular mental health concern. This type of assessment may be appropriate if you're exploring:

  • Anxiety Disorders

  • Depressive or Bipolar Disorders

  • Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD)

  • Trauma- or Stressor-Related Disorders (including PTSD)

  • Eating Disorders

  • Personality Disorders

  • Schizophrenia Spectrum or other Psychotic Disorders

Fees:

  • $1,500 — if no formal diagnosis or extended testing is required

  • $2,000 — if formal diagnosis and documentation are needed

Comprehensive Psychological Assessment

This in-depth assessment includes everything offered in the disorder-specific evaluation but takes a broader look at who you are as a whole person. It explores how your symptoms relate to your life history, attachment style, core beliefs, personality traits, areas of challenge, and personal strengths.

This type of assessment is often used to guide therapy, support important life decisions, or provide deeper insight into long-standing emotional, relational, or behavioral patterns.

Fee: 

  • $3,000

Neurodevelopmental Assessment

A specialized assessment for individuals seeking clarity around their neurodifference, such as Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and/or Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). This process includes clinical interviews, standardized testing, and a feedback session with diagnostic impressions and personalized recommendations.

Fee:

  • $3,500 – full assessment for ADHD and Autism

  • $3,000 – if no formal Autism assessment is required

Psychological Vocational Assessment

This career focused assessment helps you uncover a fuller picture of yourself—your cognitive/academic abilities, personality style, core values, and signature strengths—so you can find work that feels authentic and fulfilling. Whether it’s exploring new directions, reimagining your current path, or reshaping your role, we’ll help you discover where you can truly thrive.

Fee:

  • $2,500

Each assessment unfolds across four to five sessions booked weekly over the course of one month. These sessions involve a combination of in-office testing and at-home reflection or assignments, allowing for a rich and holistic view of your inner world
