Quizplus · Accepted Answer

No, assessment is an ongoing process throughout counseling and does not stop once the counseling begins. A client may develop new symptoms during counseling, which may or may not be detected without further assessment beyond the initial testing. A counselor can then alter the treatment plan for the client to address the new issues.
