Psychological Evaluation

Sometimes symptoms, behaviors, or life challenges do not fit neatly into one explanation. A psychological evaluation can help clarify what may be contributing to emotional, behavioral, developmental, or cognitive concerns and provide a more complete understanding of an individual’s functioning.

At A Growth Mentality Psychological Services, Inc., psychological evaluations are comprehensive, individualized, and designed to answer specific clinical questions. Rather than relying on a single test, the evaluation process integrates clinical history, behavioral observations, standardized assessment measures, relevant records, and collateral information when appropriate.

Clarity Through Comprehensive Assessment

Psychological evaluations may be helpful when there are concerns related to:

• Anxiety, depression, or other emotional symptoms

• ADHD and attention-related concerns

• Autism Spectrum Disorder or developmental differences

• Behavioral or emotional regulation difficulties

• Diagnostic clarification

• Personality and psychological functioning

• Executive functioning concerns

• Adaptive functioning

• Complex or overlapping symptoms

• Treatment planning

• Questions regarding a previous diagnosis

• Changes in functioning that require further evaluation

The specific assessment measures used are selected based on the individual’s age, history, presenting concerns, and referral question.

All testing services utilize standardized, norm-referenced, empirically supported, valid, and reliable assessment measures selected specifically for the individual being evaluated.

The goal is not simply to provide a diagnosis. A comprehensive evaluation should help answer what is happening, why it may be happening, how it is affecting daily functioning, and what supports or treatment recommendations may be most appropriate moving forward.

What may be included?

Depending on the referral question, an evaluation may include a clinical interview, review of relevant records, standardized psychological testing, behavioral and emotional assessment, attention and executive-function measures, adaptive functioning measures, diagnostic-specific instruments, and collateral information from caregivers or other providers when clinically appropriate.

Following completion of the evaluation, clients receive a comprehensive written report summarizing findings, diagnostic impressions when applicable, and individualized recommendations. A feedback session is also provided to review the results and answer questions.

Psychological Evaluation Fee Range: $3,500–$4,500

The final fee depends on the complexity of the referral question and the amount of testing required. Your specific scope of services and fee will be reviewed with you before testing begins.

Psychological testing is primarily completed in person at our Doral location, with portions of the evaluation process available virtually when clinically appropriate. Select services are available in English and Spanish.

AGM Psych is a self-pay/private-pay practice. Detailed statements or superbills are available upon request for clients who wish to pursue possible out-of-network reimbursement.
