ADULT ASSESSMENTS

Psychodiagnostic (also called ‘psychological’, ‘personality’, or ‘PTSD’) assessments – The purpose is to assess mental health functioning and to provide a diagnosis. A typical assessment involves several hours of clincal interviewing and testing, and several hours of scoring/report writing. The clinical interviewing done in-person with the client either onsite or virtually. The entire assessment takes 6-10 hours depending on complexity ($1440 - $2400).

Neuropsychological (or ‘neurocognitive’) assessments – The purpose is to assess cognitive functioning in relation to a brain injury, concussion, or other illness/condition (e.g., dementia, depression, etc.). These typically involve a full day spent face-to-face with the client doing interviewing and testing, or the assessment may be conducted over several days to reduce fatigue/pain. In addition to the direct time spent with the client, these evaluations also involve a review of relevant file information, scoring, and report writing. The total is usually around 20+ hours ($4800+) but this varies depending on complexity.

Psychoeducational (also called 'adult learning disability' assessments) - The purpose is to assess cognitive and academic strengths and weaknesses, and to determine the presence of a diagnosable learning disability. Such assessments include recommendations regarding further education or retraining. The face-to-face time with the client varies, but usually involves several hours of interviewing/testing (4-6 hours). Psychoeducational assessments are billed at a flat rate of $3000.

Attention Deficit Disorder (also called 'adult ADD' assessments) - The purpose is to determine the appropriateness of an ADD diagnosis. This involves several hours face-to-face with the client administering tests and interviewing (2-4 hours). As with previous evaluations, the process also includes time for file review, scoring, and report writing. ADD assessments are billed at a flat rate of $2500.

Legal assessments – The purpose is to conduct a psychological or neuropsychological assessment to inform a legal/court matter. The amount of hours is similar to the specific type of assessment listed above, but the hourly rate is higher ($260) because they require a more advanced skillset. We often perform these evaluations for automobile insurance cases. We also do psychodiagnostic assessments to inform divorce/custody proceedings (i.e., the purpose is to assess the mental health of the parents). We do NOT do custody evaluations or parental capacity assessments. The referral source is responsible for the additional costs should the assessing psychologist be required to testify.

Cancellation Policy - 5 business days notice is required for cancellation of assessments otherwise a fee equal to half the quoted rate will be applied.

Note on fees - Abbreviated/screening versions are available for some types of assessments (e.g., neuropsychological evaluations for sports concussions; memory screening for suspected dementia). Please contact us for more information.

*These price estimates are based on an hourly rate of $230 which is consistent with College of Psychologists of NB fee guidelines

CHILD/ADOLESCENT ASSESSMENTS (9+ years of age)

Psychodiagnostic (also called 'psychological', 'personality', or 'mental health', assessments) - The purpose is to assess mental health functioning and often to provide a diagnosis. These assessments typically begin with an in-depth interview with the parent(s) and the child (depending on age) to obtain information about current and past difficulties including developmental history. Several hours of face-to-face testing with the child is required. At times, parent(s) and/or teachers are asked to complete questionnaires about how they view the child. A typical assessment would involve several hours of interview and testing, as well as several hours of scoring and report writing for a total of 6-10 hours depending on complexity ($1440 - $2400). A report is provided.

Psychoeducational (also called 'learning disability' assessments) - The purpose is to assess the student's learning abilities, diagnose potential learning disabilities, and make recommendations regarding how to best support the student's learning. The assessment begins with an in-depth interview with the student's parent(s) and the student (depending on age) to gain information about developmental and learning history. Parent(s) are asked to provide past report cards and/or assessments for the psychologist to review. Actual time spent with the student completing testing varies, with most assessments requiring approximately 3 hours of testing (i.e., cognitive and achievement skills). Testing is typically completed over several different testing sessions. Feedback meetings with school staff to discuss assessment results and recommendations can be arranged. A report summarizing assessment results and recommendations is always provided. Psychoeducational assessments are billed at a flat rate of $3000. Parents will be advised following the initial interview whether it is expected that additional fees will be required beyond the flat rate due to complexity.

ADHD - The purpose is to determine whether a child has ADHD. Time with the client varies but typically involves a 1 - 1.5 hour interview with parents, two to three hours of testing with the child and, if possible, an interview with the child's teacher. Parents are asked to provide past report cards and/or assessments for the psychologist to review. Typically, parent(s) and/or teachers are asked to complete assessment measures designed to gain information about how they view the child. An ADHD assessment is billed at a flat rate of $2500. A report is provided and a feedback meeting with the child's school can be arranged at an additional cost.

Cancellation Policy - 5 business days notice is required for cancellation of assessments otherwise a fee equal to half the quoted rate will be applied.

While she is completing her PhD and licensing requirements, her assessment services will be supervised by licensed psychologists (Dr. Theresa Fitzgerald for adult psychological assessments & Dr. Jane Walsh for child assessment & adult neuropsychological assessments).

Her Clinical Psychology PhD student rates are as follows:
