Private Evaluations

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

    All evaluations are tailored to your referral questions and specific needs.

    Evaluations can lead to DSM-5 diagnoses of Autism, ADHD, learning disorders in reading, math, and writing (i.e. dyslexia, dyscalculia, and dysgraphia), anxiety, and/or depression. Following the evaluation, a thorough written report with recommendations will be presented to you at the final feedback session.

  • Autism evaluations require 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). A comprehensive clinical interview with focus on developmental history is completed with parents. This evaluation also uses targeted norm-referenced rating scales/questionnaires that assess related symptoms, including social language and sensory processing. Additional direct assessment in pragmatic language may also be conducted.

    Following the evaluation, a thorough written report with recommendations will be presented to you at the final feedback session.

  • An assessment of giftedness will determine if an individual is cognitively and/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.

  • This type of evaluation involves a clinical interview with parents, including a through developmental and medical history review. Testing will assess IQ and adaptive behavior skills to understand how the child learns, solve problems, and manages everyday life tasks.

    For a diagnosis of Intellectual Disability, both significantly below-average intellectual functioning and deficits in adaptive behavior must be present. If criteria are met, the psychologist will provide a clear explanation and tailored recommendations for educational planning (IEP), therapies (e.g. speech, OT, PT, behavior support), and home strategies to build independence.

  • If you were you once diagnosed with a disability but need or want updated documentation, we can help. Or, 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.

Please note that we do not assess or diagnose:

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, putting in the time you deserve, 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 to submit once the evaluation is completed. Reimbursement rates are plan-specific. Note that submitting a Superbill requires documentation of diagnostic codes.

Our evaluation fees vary based on the specific referral questions and type of assessment needed. We charge a flat fee for evaluations, typically ranging from $1,800 to $3200, depending on age and scope of the referral. In certain cases, such as a targeted reassessment of ADHD or anxiety symptoms, giftedness only, or a check-up on reading progress, we may conduct evaluations at an hourly rate of $200 based on the unique needs of the client.

The overall fee quoted for your evaluation will include a 60-90 minute parent-only intake appointment, review of available records (if applicable), school communication and incorporation of teacher feedback (if applicable), direct testing (sessions are 2-3 hours each, including breaks), test scoring and interpretation, overall analysis, report writing, and final feedback session. You will have full access to your clinician throughout the process.

At the initial 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.

We are open to discussing alternative payment plan options with you to help make our services more accessible. The only requirement is that the full balance must be paid by the time results are provided at the final feedback session.

We understand that pursuing a comprehensive psychological evaluation is a significant financial investment. What sets our practice apart is the level of thoroughness and care we bring to every case. Our assessments are thoughtfully designed to provide in-depth, individualized insights that go far beyond surface-level screening. We dedicate substantial time and attention throughout the entire process, from gathering background information and conducting testing to thoughtfully analyzing results and crafting a comprehensive, personalized report. This process reflects a deep understanding of your child’s unique strengths and challenges, along with tailored, actionable recommendations to guide next steps.

We believe that the clarity and direction gained from a high-quality evaluation can be life-changing. This investment supports meaningful growth, stronger self-confidence, and lasting success for you or your child in school, relationships, and beyond. We are honored to partner with you in that journey!
