Bariatric Psychological Assessments

At Developmental & Educational Psychological Services (DEPS), we provide comprehensive Bariatric Psychological Assessments to support individuals preparing for weight-loss surgery. These evaluations are a critical component of the bariatric surgery process, ensuring that patients are mentally and emotionally prepared for the lifestyle changes required for long-term success.

Many surgeons and insurance companies require a psychological evaluation before approving bariatric procedures. Our assessments are designed to identify psychological strengths and potential challenges, assess readiness for surgery, and provide recommendations for post-surgical support to optimize outcomes.

Convenient & Accessible Telehealth Appointments

DEPS offers efficient telehealth appointments, allowing patients to complete their assessment from the comfort of their own home—no in-office visit required. Following the evaluation, a detailed psychological assessment report is sent directly to your surgeon, ensuring a seamless process.

By addressing the psychological aspects of bariatric surgery, we help patients set the foundation for a successful, lasting transformation.
