About
Assessments at YouByUs Professional Services
Understanding the Assessment Process
At YouByUs Professional Services, assessments are designed to provide a comprehensive understanding of an individual's needs, strengths, challenges, and recommendations for future services. Whether you are seeking services voluntarily or have been referred by a court, attorney, probation officer, employer, or another agency, our assessment process provides objective, professional, and individualized recommendations.
Assessments are clinical evaluations and are not designed to determine guilt, innocence, custody outcomes, or legal decisions. Rather, they provide information to help individuals, referral sources, and service providers make informed decisions regarding treatment, intervention, and support services.
