Consultation $250

In a one-hour consultation, we talk about your concerns and develop a plan to help you reach your goals. This can be helpful if you are not certain if you need a formal assessment, or if you want to see if counseling or assessment with me is a good fit. There are multiple types of assessments and therapies, and I will be able to advise you if a referral to another professional or service is needed (occupational therapy, speech and language therapy, IEP or 504 Plan through the school district, tutoring, educational therapists, job coaches, psychiatry). Navigating these "systems" can be confusing, and together we can develop a road map. There is such a thing as "too much therapy," and families do not have unlimited time and resources, so I can help you prioritize services. I provide referrals if you or I decide that another professional will be better able to support your needs. If you desire follow-up consultation or therapy, fees are $140 for 50 minute sessions, and $150 for 60 minute sessions.

Diagnostic Assessment With Testing Summary Letter - starts at $1200

This is an ideal option for individuals who want clarity on diagnosis, strategies that can help improve school and work, and information about their unique traits and patterns of thinking, working, communicating and relating to others. Together, we will assess Autism, ADD/ADHD, mental health concerns (anxiety, panic, OCD, depression and bipolar concerns, trauma) and behavioral concerns. This is a great option for individuals who do not want to apply for formal supports in K-12 school (IEP, 504 Plan), college, Social Security, or the Regional Center (if you are applying for these supports, see Diagnostic Assessment With Full Report, below). This assessment may be sufficient for those seeking ADA accommodations at work, and there is an additional fee to complete this paperwork. Because this assessment service does not include a long report, your fee is lower. Fees begin at $1200 and we meet for a total of 3 hours, plus a one hour feedback session. If additional testing is needed to ensure an accurate diagnosis, the fee is $175 per hour (for most clients, this is not necessary).

Diagnostic Assessment With Full Report - starts at $3000

If you are looking to apply for supportive services in K-12 school settings (IEP, 504 Plan), college, Social Security, Regional Center, or work (ADA accommodations), this is the appropriate assessment service for you or your loved one. Diagnostic assessment services include testing for ADD/ADHD, Autism, mental health concerns (anxiety, panic, OCD, depression and bipolar concerns, trauma) and behavioral concerns. The fee includes all testing, diagnosis(es) if applicable, comprehensive written report suitable for applying for supportive services, completion of eligibility paperwork for college or ADA accommodations, and a one-hour feedback session. Because the comprehensive written report takes extensive time (typically it runs at least 20 pages or more), fees for this assessment service begin at $3000. Additional testing may be needed, which is $175 per hour (for most clients, this is not necessary). If you do not need a comprehensive written report, see Diagnostic Assessment With Testing Summary Letter, above.

Therapy, College and Career Counseling, Life Transitions

This has been an incredibly stressful time for many clients due to the pandemic, changes in school or work, or relationship concerns. College decisions, career changes, and other life transitions can be easier with a counselor who can support you. Executive functioning differences, anxiety, or depression may benefit from targeted strategies, and together we set your goals. All therapy starts with a 60-minute intake, which is $250. We talk about what has worked and not worked in the past, and we will make a plan to help you reach those goals. Follow-up therapy sessions are $140 for 45- to 50-minute sessions. A 60-minute session is $150.
