Evaluation services
ADHD and executive functioning
ADHD evaluations explore attention, organization, impulsivity, and follow-through. We consider developmental history, current functioning, and other explanations for symptoms. Structured interviews such as the DIVA-5 and standardized rating scales may inform the assessment.
Autism and neurodevelopmental concerns
Autism assessments explore developmental history, social communication, masking, and repetitive behaviors. We can also discuss sensory concerns and dyslexia screening, including whether further testing or specialist referral is appropriate. Options depend on age and clinician availability.
Personality and diagnostic clarification, including MMPI testing
Personality assessment and diagnostic evaluations can help clarify overlapping mood, anxiety, trauma, dissociation, and interpersonal concerns. When appropriate, tools such as the MMPI (Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory), MCMI, or PID-5 contribute to a fuller understanding and treatment recommendations.
Police psychological examinations: MPO-212
Contact us about Pennsylvania police psychological examinations and MPO-212 documentation for applicants seeking police certification. An evaluation may include MMPI testing and a clinical interview. Send your agency's requirements before scheduling.
MPO-214 post-traumatic stress evaluations and occupational fitness-for-duty referrals have different requirements. We review the referral before confirming the service.
Medical and pre-surgical evaluations
Psychological evaluations can address a medical provider's questions about readiness for surgery or psychological factors affecting treatment. Please provide the referral and required forms.
Relationship and career assessment
Couples, premarital, and vocational assessments explore relationship patterns, compatibility, interests, and strengths. These services may support personal planning rather than diagnosis.
What to expect
Plan: Discuss your concerns, prior assessments, intended use of results, and expected costs.
Assess: Complete selected questionnaires, interviews, or testing. Relevant records and collateral information may also contribute.
Review: Discuss findings and recommendations. We clarify whether your evaluation includes a feedback appointment, written report, or specific third-party documentation.
The scope and number of appointments vary. If you need school or workplace accommodations, agency forms, or a report by a deadline, share those requirements before starting. The receiving organization determines whether documentation meets its requirements.
Insurance and fees
Insurance may cover eligible evaluation services. We seek authorization when required; approval does not guarantee payment.
Self-pay services are $200 per hour unless otherwise agreed, including work beyond the agreed assessment scope, such as additional communication, document retrieval and review, travel, and court or mediation attendance.
Please share the assessment's full purpose, documentation requirements, and deadlines before starting. Missing or changed requirements may result in additional costs that insurance does not cover. We discuss additional services and fees before proceeding. Fees for copies of existing medical records follow applicable law.
