These evaluations usually need to be performed by a licensed clinical psychologist. As a licensed clinical psychologist experienced in the issues regarding adoption, Dr. Rouff has the expertise necessary to perform these evaluations for prospective adoptive parents . In addition, Dr. Rouff is also able to provide psychological testing services such as administering, scoring, and interpreting the MMPI-2 and other psychological tests. The evaluation process typically involves attending two hour-long appointments and participating in an extensive clinical interview. Additional appointments may be required if psychological testing is needed.

These reports are usually completed and submitted within two weeks of the final interview session.
