Merging Science & Feedback to Increase Your Understanding

- Testing for Children, Teens, & Adults! -

Learn more about yourself or a loved one and the best approach to helping them from comprehensive testing results.

Testing at our practice includes working with an expert in assessment who uses evidence-based standardized measures to help children and adults uncover and better understand underlying factors leading to current difficulties and history of functioning.

Results of testing also guide diagnosis and inform treatment planning at a depth that talk therapy alone does not, and routine medical screenings do not account for.

The results and specific recommendations that testing provides are extremely valuable in medication management with a psychiatrist, comprehensive medical treatment with a physician, educational planning by a teacher, and responses to children by parents.

Is it covered by insurance?

Yes! Most insurance companies cover testing, but may differ in the amount they cover for this service. When you complete testing with us and choose to use insurance, our billing department will contact your insurance company before the first appointment for details about coverage and if there is any patient responsibility. We also encourage you to call your insurance for information and make sure we are on the same page.

If you choose to call your insurance company, it may be helpful to ask some of the following questions: 

Is psychological testing covered? Is there a patient responsibility? What portion will be reimbursed? Do I need a referral?

Testing Process typically includes:

  • Intake Appointment

  • In Office and/or Virtual Testing Sessions

  • Feedback Appointment

    It takes time to complete the tests and collect the data. The number of sessions depends on various factors that include each person’s testing ability, referral question, observation time needed, and scheduling availability. The initial data collection phase is then followed by a period of data analysis and report writing time by the Testing Psychologist and Psychometrician. Once that is completed, you will meet again for a feedback session to receive a complete testing report with the results and descriptions of the data, as well as a summary of results and specific treatment recommendations based on the reason for testing.
