I charge a flat rate for all evaluations. This feels like the most ethical fee structure as it ensures that there will be no surprises, you can budget accordingly, and I can make decisions about test measures using best-practice standards (rather than being limited by financial constraints). This flat rate includes all testing and document review that I deem necessary to fully answer the referral question(s), a full report, and 60-minutes of consultation after the report, which may be broken down into multiple consultation sessions. If we get part way through an evaluation and I realized more testing is needed to answer the referral question, the fee will not increase. 

​

I understand that evaluations are expensive. The reason for this is that a thorough evaluations generally takes approximately 20-30 hours (or more) of a psychologists' time to complete. While expensive and time-consuming, evaluations can actually be less expensive and save time in the long run: having an accurate, nuanced understanding of your psychological and neuropsychological functioning can meaningfully direct treatment, ultimately reducing and streamlining the treatment process. In some situations, an evaluation can save years of frustration in treatment, as well as the psychological and emotional impact of struggling and not getting better. However, evaluations are also not always necessary. This is why, if you're interested in an evaluation, I will want to speak with and help figure out if an evaluation is indicated for your needs and situation.

​I do not currently accept insurance for evaluations

Unfortunately, insurance companies place many limitations around what they will and will not cover for evaluations. While I would love to be able to charge insurance, I have reached the conclusion that I cannot both bill insurance and do high quality evaluations that adhere to best-practice standards.
