Psychological & Developmental Testing
For Children:
Children do not progress evenly in all areas of development. Your child may be advanced socially but delayed in math. Another child may have excellent cognitive intelligence and delayed emotional intelligence. When we fully understand specific strengths and weaknesses, we can establish tailored treatment suggestions. These treatment suggestions will provide you a “road map” to know what skills need to be practiced with consistent positive reinforcement and what skills need to be encouraged as strengths.
During psychological assessments, we evaluate a person’s psychological, social, emotional, and behavioral well-being through open dialogue and formal testing. The assessment process consists of:
- An over-the-phone interview with the parents/guardians to gain information about the child’s medical, educational, developmental, and life history.
- An extensive in-person appointment where we work with the child and the caregivers separately to obtain a rich understanding of the child’s emotions, behaviors, thoughts, and coping strategies. Caregivers and children will complete a series of standardized tests (both verbal and written) to gain more objective and data-driven insights.
- During the extensive in-person appointment, caregivers will meet with a behavior analyst and counselor to receive information on how to best help their child overcome the skill deficits identified. It is our goal for every caregiver to leave this appointment empowered with personalized next-steps of what to do at home, at school, and in the community.
- Due to the seriousness of this testing, you are not allowed to bring children who do not have an appointment into the clinic. For accurate results, we must limit distractions for both the child being tested and the parent(s)/guardian(s).
For Adults:
As adults transition through the stages of life, there can be significant changes that inhibit success. Our psychological testing will provide you with a personalized understanding of your specific strengths and weaknesses. Once these are identified, we can help people overcome some of their psychological, social, emotional, or behavioral problems. Our testing also assesses memory, problem-solving skills, and intellectual functioning. In a world where many physical symptoms are often explained away as a “mental health problem”, we like to help people understand how different symptoms are rooted in biology, psychology, or both. This knowledge empowers individuals to better advocate for themselves in a variety of settings from the workplace to medical facilities.
We are no longer filing insurance directly for developmental and psychological testing,
but we are still here to support you…
As of September 1, 2025, we are no longer filing insurance claims on behalf of patients. Instead, we now provide superbills—detailed receipts you can submit to your insurance provider for potential reimbursement.
This change allows us to focus more on personalized care, reduce administrative overhead, and maintain greater flexibility in how we serve you. Many of our clients find that submitting a superbill is a simple process, and we’re happy to walk you through how it works.
What You Need to Know:
- You’ll pay us directly at the time of service.
- We’ll give you a superbill with all the necessary information.
- You can submit the superbill to your insurance company for reimbursement (depending on your out-of-network benefits).
