Psychological Testing Process

• Step 1: Meet Your Psychologist via Telehealth

  Your evaluation begins with a 60-minute telehealth consultation with a licensed clinical psychologist. The consultation is subject to a $250 fee, which will be applied toward the total cost of your evaluation should you choose to move forward with the assessment.

  During this visit, your psychologist learns about your concerns, reviews your developmental and clinical history and any relevant records, and discusses what you hope to understand through testing. Together, you establish an evaluation plan, with the total fee confirmed before testing begins.

• Step 2: Complete Your Personalized AssessmentIn-person testing is designed around your needs and the questions identified during intake. Your psychologist explains the expected length and number of appointments so you know what to expect.Depending on your concerns, testing may examine attention, planning and organization, thinking and learning abilities, academic skills, memory, emotional well-being, autism-related characteristics, or other relevant areas.
• Step 3: Understand Your Results and Plan Your Next StepsAt your telehealth feedback appointment, your psychologist walks you through the findings, explains any diagnostic impressions, and answers your questions.You also receive a detailed written report outlining your results and practical recommendations to guide treatment, educational support, workplace needs, and daily life.
• Clinical Director ReviewOur clinical director,reviews the report and provides consultation on the findings, diagnostic considerations, and recommendations. This collaborative approach brings a second psychologist’s perspective to complex cases while your evaluating psychologist guides you through the process.

Treatment Approach

What is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy?

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is a form of (evidence-based) psychological treatment that has been demonstrated to be effective for a range of problems including depression, anxiety disorders, alcohol and drug use problems, severe mental illness, panic, social phobia, bipolar disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, generalized anxiety and rumination, eating disorders, marital distress, anger, chronic pain, and trauma.

Numerous research studies suggest that CBT leads to significant improvement in functioning and quality of life. In many studies, CBT has been demonstrated to be as effective as, or more effective than, other forms of psychological therapy or psychiatric medications.

The cognitive therapy model states that our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are all connected and influence one another. CBT is based on the principle that psychological problems are centered in unhelpful ways of thinking and learned patterns of unhelpful behavior.

The psychologist and client work together, in a collaborative fashion, to develop an understanding of the problem and to develop a treatment strategy. CBT places an emphasis on helping individuals learn to be their own therapists. Clients are helped to develop coping skills, whereby they can learn to change their own thinking, problematic emotions, and behavior.
