Our Approach: We conduct a thorough assessment of skills across clinical, cognitive, and forensic domains to provide the most accurate picture of an individual’s needs.

What To Expect:

Due to high demand, the waitlist for testing is between three to six months.

Testing involves:

  • Record Review – the more the better! By reviewing records (past mental health, school, testing, etc.) we begin to develop a detailed overview of our client’s life
  • Clinical Interview – we will take the time to learn about you or your child’s current level of functioning and make sure we get a comprehensive psychosocial history
  • Testing – Depending on the number of tests administered, this process can take several hours or be administered over several appointments. Your clinician will work with you to know what to expect.

In order for insurances to reimburse providers for Psychological Testing, the testing must be Medically Necessary.

Medical Necessity is defined as “a service which, in the opinion of the primary service provider, is needed to prevent the worsening of a condition, to establish a diagnosis and/or to assist the covered individual to achieve maximum functional capacity.”

As such, we request that providers complete the referral form.
