Private Evaluations

  • A comprehensive psychological evaluation will examine cognition, memory, academic achievement, fine motor, language, phonological processing, social-emotional/behavior functioning, personality, attention, and executive functioning, with a special focus on how these factors impact learning and school performance and overall daily functioning.

    Depending on your child’s needs, we’ll determine which type of evaluation is most appropriate, and tailor our areas of focus. Evaluations can lead to DSM-V-TR diagnoses of learning disabilities/disorders in reading, math, and writing (i.e. dyslexia, dyscalculia, and dysgraphia), ADHD, and/or Autism. Executive functioning will be thoroughly examined. Social-emotional barriers to learning, such as anxiety and depression can also be identified. Following the evaluation, a thorough written report with recommendations will be presented to you at the final feedback session.

    Autism evaluations require additional specialized assessments, including the administration of the Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule (ADOS-2) and/or the Monteiro Interview Guidelines for Diagnosing the Autism Spectrum (MIGDAS-2). Additional interviewing with parents and the use of autism-specific norm-referenced rating scales/questionnaires, and norm-referenced assessments of social language and sensory processing are also utilized.

  • An assessment of giftedness will determine if an individual is cognitively or academically gifted. This can be particularly useful in planning services at school and understanding learning needs, strengths, and weaknesses. This type of evaluation would include interviews with parent and/or client, and administration of IQ and academic tests. Additional assessment of social-emotional functioning may also be incorporated. A feedback session and comprehensive written report will follow.

  • If you were you once diagnosed with a disability but need or want updated documentation, we can help. You may suspect that you have a learning disability or ADHD and are seeking answers as well as possible school and/or testing accommodations (e.g. extra time on tests). The assessments would include a combination of clinical interviews, cognitive assessment, academic assessment, tests of attention and executive functioning, and social-emotional/behavior functioning. A written report with recommendations will be presented at the final feedback meeting.

    Note: At this time, Autism evaluations are only available to individuals up to age 18.

Please note that we do not assess or diagnose:

PTSD, Eating Disorders, Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, Major Depressive Disorder, Bipolar Disorder, or Personality Disorders

We’re happy to provide you with names of trusted providers and resources to help you find the support you need.

We are a private pay practice and not in-network with insurance companies. With our philosophy of providing the most comprehensive and personalized services possible, we have made the conscious decision not to partner with insurance companies. If you’d like to seek reimbursement with your insurance company through your out-of-network benefits policy, we can provide you a Superbill so that you can submit once the evaluation is completed. Reimbursement rates are plan-specific.

Our evaluation fees vary based on the specific referral questions and type of assessment needed. We typically charge a flat fee for evaluations, ranging from $1,500 to $3,200. In certain cases, such as a targeted reassessment of ADHD or anxiety symptoms, or a check-up on reading progress, we may conduct evaluations at an hourly rate based on the unique needs of the client.

The overall fee quoted for your evaluation will include the intake appointment, review of available records (if applicable), school communication and incorporation of teacher feedback (if applicable), direct testing, test scoring and interpretation, overall analysis, report writing, and final feedback session.

At the intake appointment, a payment of $300 will be due. Following the intake appointment, no less than half of the remaining balance will be due at the first testing appointment. The remaining balance will be due at the final feedback session.

Payment Methods: cash, check, all major credit cards, ACH bank transfer, Health Savings Account (HSA)/Flex Spending Account (FSA).
