Questions

Frequently Asked

01What kinds of assessments do you offer?

I primarily provide diagnostic and personality testing. The most common request is for Adult or Child ADHD Testing. I also provide assessments for individuals with various mood or personality disorders (including but not limited to Depression, Bipolar Disorder, Anxiety Disorders, PTSD, and more) to help them determine an accurate diagnosis and provide treatment recommendations. Individuals often need a psychological report for their medication provider and I can provide that.

02How long does the assessment take?

It depends on the complexity of the case. I try to tailor each assessment to the individual so you don't pay for more than you need. Most people need 3-5 hours of in-person assessment time and 2 hours of time for test interpretation and report-writing. Most of the time we will meet and complete all the assessments at one time (3-5 hours), and sometimes we will break up into 2 separate sessions of 2-3 hours each. It usually takes about 2 weeks to generate the report and then we end with a one-hour report session where I will review the results and give you the recommendations and report.

03Do you take insurance?

No, I do NOT bill to insurance for assessment services. It is Self-Pay only. I am happy to work with individuals to work out a payment plan. If you want to have insurance pay for testing, my services are not a good fit for you.

04What are some assessments that are NOT offered? Who is NOT a good fit?

I do not currently provide the following services: Disability Assessments, Parenting Assessments/any assessments related to divorce, IQ assessments, Achievement Testing, Learning Disability Assessments or formal autism assessments (I do screen for this and refer out for further testing as needed). Children in the public school system can usually obtain IQ and Achievement testing for free through the school psychologist to determine if they have a Learning Disability.

05How much does it cost?

Psychological Assessment services are $180 per hour and are Private Pay. Most assessments take 5-8 hours (of my time) including face-to-face sessions, report writing/interpretation, and a one hour follow-up to review results ($900-1,440). Sometimes ADHD assessments or more complicated clinical cases take a bit longer as they require more assessments and interview time. Most adult assessments are about 7 hours total ($1260).

06What will we do during the assessment?

During the assessment sessions, we will complete some mood inventories, various electronic assessments (MMPI, tests of attention etc) and do various diagnostic interviews.
