Advanced psychological assessment
Beyond the label.
Toward understanding.
Each person brings a unique combination of developmental, cognitive, emotional, behavioral, and environmental factors. We combine clinical expertise, comprehensive psychological testing, and advanced analytical methods to understand how they fit together.
By examining relationships among clinical history, assessment findings, and behavioral patterns, Dr. Curless looks for meaningful connections—clarifying complex diagnostic questions and distinguishing between conditions with overlapping symptoms.
Explore our approachThree views, one personIllustrative
Where it began.
Developmental, medical, and life history give context to the concerns a person brings to an evaluation.
What testing shows.
Comprehensive psychological testing looks at cognitive, emotional, and behavioral functioning, selected around each person’s questions.
How it shows up.
Patterns at home, at school, or at work show how difficulties play out day to day.
Where all three meet, meaningful connections can clarify complex diagnostic questions. Illustrative only: patterns guide clinical questions but do not establish a diagnosis on their own.
Individualized from the start.
Testing is selected around each person’s questions, history, and development, with Dr. Curless guiding the interpretation.
Connections, not just scores.
Looking at history, findings, and behavior together helps distinguish between conditions with overlapping symptoms.
A clearer path forward.
Individualized treatment recommendations and supports, aimed at improved functioning and well-being.

next step clear.
Answers about your evaluation, delivery, payment options, and where you can be seen.
All frequently asked questionsHow soon can I be seen?
We’re expanding our evaluation availability, with more appointments opening in November in Ellsworth. Call the team to check current openings for your needs. Appointment availability is separate from time-sensitive delivery, which can provide your completed evaluation in as few as three business days after your in-person appointment for an additional fee.
What if we’re working against a deadline?
Talk with our team about time-sensitive care. Your completed evaluation can be ready in as few as three business days after your in-person appointment, for an additional fee. The office will discuss availability, cost, and whether this fits your evaluation. This is the delivery timeline, not a promise of an appointment within three days.
Do you accept insurance or offer financing?
We accept MaineCare. Financing options include Affirm, CareCredit, Klarna, and Sunbit. The office can help you discuss coverage, costs, and the available payment options for your evaluation.
What are advanced analytical methods?
Alongside clinical expertise and comprehensive psychological testing, advanced analytical methods help Dr. Curless examine how clinical history, assessment findings, and behavioral patterns relate. They support a deeper understanding of each person’s psychological profile and individualized recommendations. They inform the clinician’s judgment; they do not replace it or guarantee a diagnosis.
Where can I be seen?
Our current office is in Ellsworth, Maine. More locations are coming soon. The office can discuss whether in-person or telehealth services are appropriate and available for your needs.
