When a Broader Assessment Can Help
Sometimes difficulties don't fit neatly into a single category. Problems with attention, memory, organization, motivation, emotional regulation, or everyday functioning can have multiple possible explanations—and different conditions can look similar on the surface.
You may already have a diagnosis but wonder whether it explains the full picture. Perhaps treatment has helped in some ways but not others, or you've received different diagnoses or recommendations over time. You may also be trying to understand whether difficulties that seem separate are actually connected.
In other situations, the question isn't primarily about a particular diagnosis. You may want to better understand changes in cognitive functioning, persistent difficulties with learning or memory, or patterns that have become more noticeable as the demands of work, school, parenting, caregiving, or daily life have increased.
A comprehensive assessment allows the evaluation to be built around your questions rather than a predetermined diagnosis. Depending on what needs to be understood, that may involve examining cognitive abilities, attention and executive functioning, learning and memory, emotional functioning, personality, or other relevant areas.
The purpose is to bring the different pieces together—to understand not only what you're experiencing, but what may be contributing to it.
Comprehensive Assessment: Fees & Practical Information
Individualized Assessment — $250 per hour
Comprehensive psychological assessments are individualized based on the questions being evaluated and the professional time anticipated to complete the assessment. This may include clinical interview, testing, scoring and interpretation, record review or collateral consultation when relevant, feedback, and preparation of the written report.
Estimated Cost
The proposed scope of the assessment and estimated total cost will be discussed with you before the assessment begins. If findings indicate that additional testing or professional time may be helpful, any change in scope and associated fees will be discussed with you before additional services are completed.
Timeline
The length of the assessment process varies depending on the scope of the evaluation and the types of testing involved. An anticipated timeline will be discussed with you when the assessment plan is developed.
Insurance & Payment
AJR & Co. is an out-of-network practice and does not bill insurance directly. Superbills are available for eligible psychological assessment services for possible out-of-network reimbursement. Coverage and reimbursement are determined by your insurance plan and are not guaranteed.
