  • Executive functioning deficits

  • Anxiety, depression, OCD, selective mutism, and other emotional and behavioral concerns that interfere with learning

  • Autism spectrum disorder

  • Gifted identification

  • Twice-exceptionality (2e)

  • Intellectual disability

  • Academic and testing accommodations (high school, college, exams)

  • Returning to school after:

    • Traumatic brain injury or concussion

    • Serious and/or prolonged medical illness (e.g., childhood cancer)

Fees:

  • Intake (60-75 minutes): $300

  • Evaluation: The total cost of a comprehensive psychological evaluation will vary based upon the referral question(s), whether it is an initial evaluation or a re-evaluation, and the complexity of the case. A good-faith estimate or flat-rate cost will be provided after the intake and prior to scheduling testing. If a client or family decides to proceed, the intake fee amount ($300) will be credited toward the total cost of the evaluation.

What to expect

    Private, one-on-one conversation to determine if we are a good fit to help with your situation

  • Intake

    Gather in-depth information about your child’s history, strengths, and current challenges. Together, we will identify the questions to be answered based upon your goals for the evaluation and outline a path forward that’s evidence-based, compassionate and tailored to your child’s unique needs.

  • Assessment

    While we generally recommend in-person testing for children, teens, and young adults, some evaluations can be completed remotely. In-person testing is available to clients who are in (or travel to) Pennsylvania. Virtual assessments are conducted using a HIPAA-compliant telemedicine platform.

  • Feedback & Roadmap

    Parents and/or clients receive a detailed review of the evaluation results and opportunities to ask questions, followed by individualized recommendations based upon the evaluation, presented as a roadmap to guide next steps.

  • Collaborative Care

    We believe that the best outcomes occur through collaboration across each part of a child’s life. As such, we coordinate with parents, teachers, pediatricians, physicians, and others. We have extensive experience working with schools and IEP teams to ensure that they understand your child’s needs and carryover needed accommodations and strategies into the educational setting.
