Psychological Testing

Psychological assessments are typically conducted by psychologists to answer a specific question or rule out a diagnosis. Examples include testing for attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), intellectual disabilities, personality disorders, or learning disabilities. Assessments can be completed for psycho-diagnostic purposes or legal concerns. Other reasons for assessments include difficulties in school or work performance, relationship problems, or concerns with impulse control.

We are currently accepting assessment referrals for ages 6+ both in-person and Telehealth. Please contact us to inquire more on the type of assessment you may be interested in conducting.

There is no one-size-fits-all for assessments. Typically, an intake session is needed for Dr. Dadouch to meet with the client/caregiver and assess the need for an assessment, and what type of testing may be required, if any. Fees will vary based on the testing required and each client’s needs. The cost of a full evaluation typically starts at $1200. The cost of the assessments is billed at $200 an hour and includes the following: intake session, testing hours, record review, consultation, scoring, report writing, and feedback sessions. After the intake session, an estimated cost may be shared with the client or family, but often times it is difficult to know the estimated cost from the start.

Please contact us to inquire about assessments, scheduling, and cost and/or payment installment plans for testing.

What we Assess

  • ADHD testing is a comprehensive evaluation designed to determine whether attention/hyperactive-related difficulties meet criteria for ADHD. It typically includes a detailed clinical interview, standardized rating scales, and objective measures of attention, impulse control, and executive functioning. The goal is not just to identify ADHD, but to understand how an individual’s cognitive strengths and challenges show up in daily life, while also ruling out other possible contributing factors.

  • Learning disorder testing is a comprehensive evaluation that examines how an individual processes and uses information in areas such as reading, writing, and math. Results help guide targeted interventions, school accommodations, and individualized support plans.

  • Assessment for intellectual disability is a comprehensive evaluation that examines overall cognitive functioning and adaptive skills across daily life. It typically includes a clinical interview, standardized intelligence testing, and measures of adaptive functioning such as communication, social skills, and independent living. The evaluation considers developmental history and current functioning to determine whether criteria for an intellectual disability are met. Results are used to support diagnostic clarification, eligibility for services, educational planning, and appropriate supports.

  • Personality disorder testing by a psychologist is a comprehensive evaluation aimed at assessing long-standing patterns of thinking, feeling, and relating to others that may be causing distress or impairment. The goal is to determine whether personality features meet criteria for a personality disorder, while carefully differentiating them from mood, anxiety, trauma-related, or situational factors. Results are used to support accurate diagnosis and guide appropriate, evidence-based treatment planning.

  • Psychodiagnostic testing is a comprehensive evaluation used to clarify mental health diagnoses and understand an individual’s emotional, cognitive, and behavioral functioning. It typically includes a clinical interview, review of relevant history, and standardized assessment measures tailored to the referral questions. The purpose is to differentiate between overlapping conditions, identify underlying contributors to symptoms, and provide diagnostic clarity. Results are used to inform treatment planning, recommendations, and next steps for care.
