Fees and Payment Information
We understand that investing in your child’s mental health and educational success is a big decision. Below you’ll find details about our services and what’s included in each. Our fees are comparable to others in the Northern Virginia area for similar services. If you have any questions, we’re happy to talk through the process during a free consultation.
​
Comprehensive Psychoeducational Evaluation
A comprehensive psychoeducational evaluation is a valuable investment that provides a clear, complete picture of your child’s learning and emotional strengths and challenges, guiding practical support and informed decisions for their success.
​
Fees range from $3,600 to $4,500, depending on the complexity of the evaluation.
This comprehensive process includes 16-20+ hours of clinician time:
-
Initial parent intake interview
-
Review of records and background information
-
2–3 in-office testing sessions
-
Scoring and interpretation of all assessment data
-
Input from teachers or other professionals.
-
School observations, as indicated.
-
Comprehensive written report with findings, diagnoses (if appropriate), and personalized recommendations for home, school, and other providers
-
Feedback meeting to review results and answer questions
-
Optional follow-up consultation for a fee (e.g. school meetings, further parent support, etc.)
​
Dyslexia Screening
The fee is $200 per hour, with the full screening process typically taking 3–4 hours.
This includes a parent interview, approximately one hour of testing with your child, analysis of results, a written report, and a parent feedback session to review findings and recommendations.
​
Cognitive Testing (AAP/admissions)
The fee for this service is $500. This includes a brief parent intake, cognitive testing (typically the WISC-V), a written report, and a parent feedback session to review the results.
.
Abbreviated Assessment
In certain situations, we may offer abbreviated testing at a reduced fee. This is considered on a case-by-case basis when a full evaluation is not necessary—such as re-evaluating accommodation needs, updating existing testing, or addressing a more targeted referral question. Please contact us to discuss whether this option may be appropriate for your child.
​
Therapy, Coaching, and Parent Consultation
Fees are $185 per 50-minute session/ $250 for 75 minute session
​
We offer therapy, executive functioning coaching, and parent consultation services at the same hourly rate. All services are delivered by licensed psychologists with specialized training and extensive experience.​We believe in a flexible, collaborative approach and tailor our services to best support each client’s needs. Some families seek short-term support around a specific issue; others may benefit from ongoing sessions.
​
Understanding Our Payment Model
We are an out-of-network provider, which allows us to offer more time, attention, and highly personalized care to each client. This model gives us the flexibility to tailor assessments and services to your specific needs—not just what insurance covers—while also dedicating more time to thorough testing, in-depth analysis, and high-quality report writing. It also allows us to maintain greater confidentiality, as insurance reimbursement typically requires sharing detailed personal information. We’re happy to provide a superbill (a detailed receipt) that you can submit to your insurance provider for potential out-of-network reimbursement. We recommend checking with your insurance plan to see what may be covered.
​
Good Faith Estimate
You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate explaining how much your care will cost.​ Under the No Surprises Act, health care providers are required to give patients who don’t have insurance or who aren’t using insurance an estimate of the expected charges for medical services.
-
You will receive a written estimate before services begin.
-
If you receive a bill that is $400 or more above the estimate, you have the right to dispute the charges.​
