The Evaluation Process
What to expect

Intake Interview
We begin with a 1-hour clinical interview — typically with parents only — to gather background information and develop a tailored testing plan. This can be completed in person or virtually.
Testing Sessions
A 1:1 session with your child, typically 3–5 hours and sometimes split across multiple days. Activities are engaging and age-appropriate — play-based, pencil and paper, iPad, or manipulatives — with built-in breaks throughout.
Feedback & Report
Within 4-6 weeks of completing all data collection, we schedule a feedback session to walk through findings, diagnoses, and individualized recommendations for home, school, and beyond.
TYPES OF EVALUATIONS

SELF-PAY PRACTICE
Superbill
We don't accept insurance directly, but provide a detailed superbill for potential out-of-network reimbursement from your insurer.
About superbills: A superbill is a detailed receipt that includes all the diagnostic and procedure codes your insurance company needs to process a reimbursement claim.

We recommend contacting your insurance provider in advance to understand your out-of-network coverage for psychological testing.
