Fees & Policies
Assessment Fees
I offer comprehensive psychological assessment tailored to your specific diagnostic questions and clinical presentation.
Fees vary depending on:
The complexity of your presentation
Which assessment instruments are most appropriate
How much testing time is needed
The depth of personality assessment required (basic personality screening vs. comprehensive personality functioning analysis using structured interviews and multiple measures)
During your free consultation, we'll discuss:
What you're hoping to understand
Which assessment approach makes sense
What the cost will be for your specific evaluation
Timeline and scheduling
I'm transparent about fees upfront so there are no surprises.
What's Included
All assessments include:
Comprehensive diagnostic interviewing
Appropriate psychological testing measures
Professional scoring and interpretation
A detailed written diagnostic report
Specific treatment recommendations
A thorough feedback session
More complex assessments may include additional personality functioning measures, extended testing time, and more detailed analysis of how you experience yourself and relate to others.
What Happens After Assessment?
I provide comprehensive treatment recommendations based on your results, including:
Specific modalities that match your presentation (such as mentalization-based therapy for personality functioning, DBT for emotion dysregulation, trauma-focused treatment, or exposure-based approaches)
Types of providers to look for
Skills or interventions to prioritize
Whether medication consultation makes sense
Referrals to appropriate specialists
You take your assessment results and use them to make informed decisions about your care. Many use the results to find specialized care elsewhere.
For select clients, I also offer specialized therapy when assessment reveals they would benefit from treatments I provide, including mentalization-based approaches for personality functioning, DBT-informed treatment, and evidence-based trauma interventions.
Insurance & Billing
I am out-of-network with major health insurance. However, I have Mentaya, which helps my clients understand their out-of-network benefits and submit superbills for reimbursement.
How Mentaya works:
You check your out-of-network benefits using their instant benefits checker (available on my Fees & Policies page)
We'll see your deductible, coinsurance/copay, and how much you can expect back per session
After each session, I verify it in Mentaya and they automatically create and submit the claim to your insurance on your behalf
You typically receive reimbursement within 2-6 weeks
On average, clients get 62% back on therapy
This means using out-of-network benefits is:
Simple (no superbill hassles)
Transparent (you know costs upfront)
Automatic (claims submitted for you)
I use Mentaya to help make the reimbursement process seamless and painless for you. Go to my 'Fees & Policies' page, scroll down to the Mentaya widget, and plug in your insurance information to see how much you can plan on paying per hour to see me.
Payment
I accept credit cards, debit cards, and HSA/FSA cards.
Payment arrangements will be discussed during your consultation.
Cancellation Policy
Please provide adequate notice if you need to reschedule assessment appointments. Late cancellations may result in fees. We'll discuss the specific policy during your consultation.
What I Don’t Provide
These are outside my scope:
Full neuropsychological batteries
Comprehensive ADHD, autism, or learning disability evaluations requiring extensive cognitive testing
Forensic or court-ordered evaluations
Crisis or emergency services
If you need something I don't offer, I'm happy to help you find someone who specializes in that area.
