Mental Health Assessments & Evaluations

At Calm in Chaos, we provide a range of clinical mental health assessments designed to help individuals, families, and legal professionals gain clarity around emotional and behavioral needs. Whether you’re navigating a legal case, seeking diagnostic clarity, or advocating for support, our evaluations are collaborative, compassionate, and grounded in clinical expertise.

All assessments are conducted by a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) in Florida and are designed to stay within the scope of practice, providing clinical behavioral health evaluations (not psychological testing). Our reports are written with professionalism, cultural sensitivity, and care.
