Psychiatric Evaluation in Martinsburg, WV

A comprehensive, unhurried first step — clear diagnosis, honest answers, and a plan you understand.

A warm handshake — a psychiatric evaluation is the first step of a care partnership in Martinsburg, WV

Every treatment journey at Rass Psychiatry & Wellness Services begins with a comprehensive psychiatric evaluation. It's a structured but unhurried conversation — about what you're experiencing now, your history, your health, and what you want your life to look like. The goal is simple: clear answers and a plan that makes sense to you.

How we help

  • A clear explanation of any diagnosis, in plain language
  • A personalized treatment plan, with options discussed openly

Psychiatric Evaluation — FAQs

How long does a psychiatric evaluation take?

Plan for about 45–60 minutes. We don't rush — an accurate diagnosis depends on understanding your full picture.

Will I get a prescription at my first visit?

Sometimes — but only if medication is clearly appropriate. An evaluation is about getting the diagnosis right first; treatment decisions follow from that, and we always discuss options with you.

Can the evaluation be done by telehealth?

In many cases, yes — for both adults and children. Some situations call for an in-person assessment at our Martinsburg office, and we'll let you know when scheduling.

Do you evaluate children for school-related concerns?

Yes. We commonly evaluate children and teens for ADHD, anxiety, and mood concerns affecting school. Parent input and any school feedback are valuable parts of the evaluation.
