To understand the roots of your distress, clarify complex or overlapping symptoms, and provide individualized recommendations that meaningfully guide treatment.

No. I offer targeted differential diagnosis with cognitive screening included. If a full neuropsychological evaluation is indicated, I will provide referrals to providers who specialize in that.

Assessment helps clarify why past treatments may not have been effective and what approaches are most likely to work now. Understanding why you’re stuck is often the missing piece.

I offer screening and clarification when these conditions are part of the diagnostic picture, but I do not provide full neurodevelopmental evaluations. If a comprehensive battery is needed, I will refer you to a specialist.

A diagnostic interview, SCID-5, SCID-5-PD, MMPI-3, WAIS V, structured questionnaires, professional scoring and integration, a written summary, and a feedback session.

Everything in the $4,241 assessment, plus the SCID-5-AMPD, the R-PAS, and an expanded written summary.

A high-quality assessment is a multi-step process that involves far more than a single session. Each evaluation includes a goal-setting intake, multiple structured clinical interviews, and standardized tests with numerous components, followed by a detailed feedback session. The total face-to-face time is typically 10-15 hours.

Another 10-15 hours are spent behind the scenes reviewing records, coding and scoring, interpreting results, integrating the data across sources, and writing a thorough individualized report.

These reports are designed to give you clear diagnostic answers and practical guidance for treatment. Assessment is an investment in understanding what you’re experiencing and what will actually help you move forward.

This approach is science-backed and minimized the trial-and-error often involved in mental health treatment. It aims to shorten the time (and cost) spent on interventions that aren’t effective for your specific needs.

Your therapist evaluates symptoms and assigns diagnoses as part of treatment, but comprehensive psychological assessment is a different service. It requires doctoral-level training in testing, structured diagnostic interviews, psychometrics, and data integration across multiple sources.

Most therapists do not administer the types of standardized tests, personality measures, or cognitive tools that are needed to clarify complex or overlapping symptoms.

While you can receive a diagnosis in therapy, a full evaluation typically provides a much more accurate and detailed understanding of what’s driving your distress and what will be most effective moving forward.

Typically 8.5-11.5 hours of meeting time, which includes diagnostic interviews, test administration, proctoring, and recording responses, and a feedback session.

I spend an additional 8.5-11.5 hours independently scoring, interpreting results, integrating findings, and writing the report.

Anxiety, emotional sensitvity, identity concerns, relational patterns, trauma responses, and longstanding coping strategies.

I charge a flat private-pay fee. CPT codes on superbills reflect the time and type of service provided, not pricing.

Possibly, depending on your plan. Superbills include CPT codes and units.
