Bio-Psycho-Social Assessments

A Bio-Psycho-Social intake is a comprehensive assessment that gathers important information across three key areas: biological, psychological, and social. This process typically occurs during the first counseling or therapy session and serves as the foundation for understanding a client's unique experiences, strengths, and challenges.

Biological information includes physical health history, medical conditions, medications, sleep patterns, substance use, and genetic or developmental factors.
Psychological aspects explore emotional functioning, mental health history, thought patterns, mood, coping strategies, and past or present symptoms of concern.
Social elements focus on relationships, family dynamics, cultural background, support systems, education, employment, and environmental stressors.

This holistic approach helps therapists understand the whole person—not just symptoms. The information gathered guides diagnosis, identifies areas of focus in therapy, and informs a personalized treatment plan tailored to the client’s specific needs and goals. It also allows therapists to track progress over time and adjust interventions for the most effective outcomes.
