Do you take insurance?

Yes we we do, except for Medicaid/Medicare/Superior for remote testing only.  Insurance will not cover in-home/concierge services. If you do not have insurance, our private-pay model keeps costs transparent and affordable at $1,250 (more for concierge-level services) and the full evaluation process—from scheduling to final report—typically takes just 2-4 weeks (2 days if you need expedited results), rather than months waiting at most clinics for preauthorization, waitlists, etc.

We also provide letter drafts that clients can send to not just parents/family but also their church leaders (bishop, reverend, rabbi, etc.) to request support with the cost. Churches operate as non-profits and are eager to help cover these expenses. A neuropsychological assessment shouldn’t be out of anyone’s reach.  A letter for family members is available as well, which you can email if you’re hoping for help covering the cost. We’ve found that families of neurodivergent individuals often want to support them but may struggle to know exactly how, and clients with ADHD or autism can worry about misreading social cues or feeling unsure how to ask—these letters make it simple and clear.   I also accept some clients on a sliding scale basis, and we'll discuss the exact cost  during the initial consultation. 

What's a neuropsychological evaluation?

A neuropsychological evaluation is a comprehensive assessment of learning type, memory, attention, processing speed, neurodivergence, and emotional functioning. It helps identify strengths and challenges in the brain’s functioning, guides treatment planning, and provides objective documentation for school, SAT/ACT, college, work, or other accomodations to help you succeed. Unlike a standard psychological test, a neuropsychological evaluation is deeply individualized and can reveal subtle differences in how someone with ADHD, autism, Long COVID (PASC), memory problems, or other conditions that impact daily life.  Most colleges and entrance exam orgs (SAT, LSAT, etc) do not accept letters from therapists or psychiatrists, because they typically lack standardized testing data, thorough writing, and detailed functional evidence. A comprehensive neuropsych eval conducted by a licensed psychologist provides objective, validated measures of cognitive, academic, and emotional functioning, along with clear diagnostic impressions. This type of evaluation offers the strongest and most widely accepted documentation for securing accommodations such as extended time, breaks, deadline extensions, or alternative testing formats. 

How do you reach a diagnosis?

I combine a thorough review of your history, questionnaires, and in-depth testing of memory, attention, processing speed, and emotional functioning. Using research-backed criteria, I carefully distinguish typical differences from clinically significant patterns. This methodical approach ensures any diagnosis is accurate, meaningful, and actionable for treatment or accommodations. I don't just look at current symptoms: I put together a full, big-picture theory of what's going on, how you got there, and where to go from here, including how and why multiple diagnoses may be interacting, which diagnoses are primary vs secondary, and how that explains what you are experiencing so others can fully understand the whole landscape of your brain's beauty and intricacies.

What will be in my report you write for me?

Your neuropsychological report is more than just test scores—it’s a comprehensive roadmap for understanding and supporting you. It summarizes results across memory, attention, processing speed, executive functioning, and emotional regulation, and clearly interprets how these patterns impact daily life. I provide not only any diagnoses, but also an overarching theory of what’s happening, including how multiple diagnoses may interact, which is primary versus secondary, and why. The report offers actionable recommendations and next steps, written to put family members, doctors, schools, college accomodation offices, therapists, and other specialists on the same page, so everyone can support you effectively and efficiently. 

What does remote testing look like?  And in-home testing?

Remote testing allows you or your child to complete evaluations from the comfort of your own home using a secure online platform. Sessions are typically conducted via video call, with digital materials shared in real-time. You’ll have step-by-step guidance throughout, and psychologists have verified these measures to be just as accurate remotely as they are when administered in-person. If you'd rather fill out some of the forms/tests by hand rather than online, I'll send them in printer-friendly format so you you can print and then scan or mail back to me. Whichever format you prefer, I can accomodate. 

In-home testing involves a psychologist (Dr. Money) coming directly to your home. All materials and testing procedures are provided on-site, and she conducts the full assessment in a quiet, distraction-free environment. This option combines the convenience of being at home with the hands-on administration of standard testing procedures.
