Our practice is out-of-network (OON) with all health insurance plans. However, many individuals have plans that can reimburse some of your costs for OON treatments. To make things easier, we’ve partnered with Reimbursify, which simplifies the process of filing insurance claims and reduces the hassle of OON claims. Submitting your claim takes just minutes, and you can receive your payment more quickly. For more details, please feel free to contact us.
No, we do not conduct child custody evaluations (730 evaluations) as our clinicians do not possess the specialized custody-related training mandated by the California Judicial Council. We suggest seeking the expertise of a forensic psychologist, who may be better equipped to assist you with these matters.
Yes, we do.
Some of our clients seek IQ testing for specific purposes, such as:
- Educational Placement: IQ tests are often required for admission to gifted programs or special education services.
- Employment Requirements: Certain jobs or professional organizations may require an IQ test as part of their assessment process.
- Personal Curiosity: Some individuals are interested in gaining insight into their cognitive abilities and understanding their intellectual potential.
While we offer standalone IQ testing, we often recommend a comprehensive evaluation for a more complete understanding of an individual’s strengths and areas for growth. However, standalone IQ testing may still be a suitable option for some people depending on their specific needs and circumstances.
For pricing and more information, please contact us or call (626) 209-9322.
We have an extensive collection of the most widely used (e.g., WAIS-IV, WISC-V, WIAT-4, ADOS-2, Conners CPT 3, BASC-3, BRIEF2, PAI, D-KEFS) and latest tests (e.g., Feifer tests, Trails-X). We review each test to ensure it is evidence-based and supported by the latest research in the field. Additionally, we take client feedback into consideration regarding which tests they prefer. Given our constant efforts to expand and update our test collection, please feel free to reach out via email or phone to inquire about specific tests you may be interested in.
Our tests come in different formats, and we tailor each test battery to suit the specific needs of every client. While many of our standardized rating scale questionnaires and personality tests are sent via email for online completion, we also offer some in traditional paper-and-pencil form. Our in-person tests encompass a range of formats, including answering questions out loud, iPad, laptop computer, paper-and-pencil, blocks, drawing tests, pegs and board, cards, as well as paper and ink blotter. Assessments tailored for younger children may also incorporate a wide selection of toys, dolls, manipulative objects, storybooks, and cards.
Our clients often wonder whether they need a psychological, neuropsychological, or psychoeducational assessment. Others wonder if an evaluation for ADHD, autism, learning disabilities, or another condition is appropriate. Our assessments are comprehensive and personalized to each individual. At the beginning of every assessment, we will conduct a broad screening and review of your history for various conditions to make sure we don’t miss anything. We then select tests based on your specific questions and our findings during the initial screening.
If you have further questions, please contact us or schedule a free consultation.
