BrightQuest's Comprehensive Mental Health Assessment

BrightQuest offers a 2.5 day Outpatient Assessment Service for those seeking diagnostic clarity for mental health and substance use struggles. Our expert team of clinicians achieves this through psychological, neuropsychological, psychiatric, and medical evaluations. These findings are then presented as an action plan with recommended next steps and referrals when requested.  

During the Assessment Service, clients and their support network will stay at a local hotel and come to BrightQuest each day for testing and evaluations. We encourage loved ones to participate during mealtimes, support system assessments, and during the review of our findings (with the client’s permission).  

The Assessment Service concludes with a team meeting with the client and their support system (including referents and loved ones) to review a summary of findings and recommendations. A more detailed copy of these findings is also available for future providers or referral partners.  

Please note, this service is currently only available at our Nashville location. 

Our Assessment Service offers a holistic picture of each client’s mental, physical, and social well-being. Conditions this service is designed to identify include: 

• Physical health conditions detected through lab work and a physical exam 
• Attachment styles and beneficial therapeutic modalities  
• Mental health conditions but not limited to: anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, dependent personality disorder, and drug-induced psychosis 
• Addiction related issues

During the evaluation, you will be supported by a multidisciplinary team comprised of a: 

• Licensed, Masters-Level Clinician 

• Registered Dietitian 

• Neuropsychologist 

• Nurse Practitioner 

• Certified Peer Recovery Specialist 

• Psychiatrist 

This team will collaborate to draw conclusions and create a comprehensive report with findings and suggested next steps. 

This service includes a robust set of assessments designed to explore each client’s biopsychosocial well-being.  

Our Assessment Service offers testing that can be translated into actionable insights for clients as well as clinicians, including diagnostic impressions correlating to the DSM-5-TR. Assessments of this depth are exceedingly rare outside of residential treatment settings.

• Recovery Assessment

• Support System Assessment  

• Comprehensive Psychiatric Evaluation

While the BrightQuest team will provide their recommendations, next steps are at the client’s full discretion. If a client is interested, our team can make recommendations for additional services such as inpatient or outpatient care providers, suggested therapeutic modalities, resources for family support, as well as medical, nutritional and addiction recovery recommendations if applicable. The BrightQuest team will support your next steps in treatment and will ensure that you successfully transition your care.

While not required or expected, appropriate clients may be admitted to BrightQuest if they wish.
