Changing Tides Psychotherapy

1. Clinical interview with the student/client - 60-90 minute session
2. Separate clinical interview with parent(s) or legal guardian(s) if assessment is for a minor - 60-minute session
3.  Additional clinical assessments and evaluations (Completed virtually at home) - 1-2 hours approximately
4. In-person Psychological testing - 4-6 hours of testing with breaks
5. Feedback session with a formal report, clinical recommendations, and questions from parents/client (Virtual appointment) - 50-60 minutes session

The evaluation can take about 4-6 hours of in-person testing, with breaks, which can be divided into 2 separate days of testing if needed. Expect the full psychological report within 3-4 weeks after completing all testing measures (both in-person and virtual measures) where you will receive a Feedback Session with the full report. 

The cost for a complete Psychological Evaluation is $2,500, with a $250 non-refundable payment due upon scheduling your appointment date to hold your spot. Afterwards, you will have two options for payment: 

Option 1: Pay the remaining $2,250 in full on the first day of testing.

Option 2: Pay the $1,125 deposit due at the first testing date. The remaining $1,125 is payable at the Feedback Session which can occur 3-4 weeks after the first session.

I operate as an out-of-network provider, meaning I can facilitate the reimbursement process by providing clients with a superbill – a detailed medical bill that you can submit to your insurance company. Reimbursement rates are contingent upon your specific health insurance provider and plan. I always recommend verifying this before scheduling an evaluation.

For added convenience, I accept payments through HSA (Health Savings Account) and FSA (Flexible Spending Account) cards. This approach is designed to offer flexibility and support in navigating the financial aspects of your mental healthcare journey.
