I was brought to a psychologist to talk out some problems. The first session, she asked me a series of questions to be turned into an evaluation of my mental health (to see if I'm at risk for anything, I guess).
Example Question:
Have you had trouble sleeping within the past month?
Possible Answers:
Alot of the time
Some of the time
Not alot of the time
None of the time
So the results came back and I did not have any conditions, according to the evaluation. Now, I think I may have held back on my answers. I've been severely anxious and depressed lately, and don't know why.
Is it possible to share this with her or get re-evaluated?

Okay, either you're exaggerating the extent of your anxiety or depression, wish something was wrong or you out right lied on that test. If you lied, just tell her what you did. There's no point in going if you're going to lie and pretend you're okay.
It really shouldn't matter though. You don't need to have a diagnosable mental condition to require or benefit from counseling. There are plenty of counseling psychologists who's jobs are solely to help 'normal' people deal with their 'normal' problems.
You don't need a mental illness to get attention.

You need to be straight about your answers to get the appropriate help. Let her know what you were doing.
