Child and Teen Psychological Assessment

A mental disorder is characterised by a clinically significant disturbance in an individual's cognition, emotional regulation, or behaviour. It is usually associated with distress or impairment in important areas of functioning.

If you or your child are experiencing persistent emotional regulation and behavioral issues that significantly impact daily life, it may indicate a need for a psychological assessment.

During the clinical intake, our psychologists will address your questions and concerns and determine whether an assessment is necessary. This will provide you with the information needed to make a well-informed decision for your child.

Before booking an assessment, we require all clients to book a clinical intake with our clinical psychologist, to fully understand the symptoms and provide professional advice. At the end of clinical intake, the clinical psychologist will discuss with you if an assessment is required and your options.

During the booking process, you will be required to pay to confirm your booking.

Since the assessment tools are tailored to your specific issues and symptoms, the fees vary from person to person. The psychologist will inform you of the total assessment cost before you decide. Typically, psychological assessment fees range from RM1,300 to RM2,600.

Our fees include a brief report and a briefing session. We require full payment to be made to secure the psychological assessment.

The brief report provides an overview of the issues, background information, a summary of assessments conducted, the final diagnosis (if applicable), and brief recommendations.

This report may be used for work, academic, or insurance purposes, but it’s essential to check with the relevant department to ensure its acceptance. Aloe Mind cannot be held responsible if the report does not meet specific requirements.

In line with our ethical standards, we cannot write, alter, or include statements in the brief report that are not supported by the psychological assessment.

After the briefing, you will have a clearer understanding of how to proceed with your assessments, regardless of the results.

During the briefing session, the clinical psychologist will outline the next steps tailored to help you cope with your symptoms or struggles based on the brief report. As part of your child’s treatment plan, you may consider child therapy or teen therapy to help them develop coping skills and build mental resilience.

We provide psychotherapy treatment but not medication. As part of the briefing, the clinical psychologist will advise if medication is required and if referral to a psychiatrist is needed.
