Assessment Services

I have extensive experience with mental health and substance use assessment to make recommendations for treatment. If you are considering seeking a residential or outpatient treatment program but aren’t sure about what you need I can help. There are facilities that will happily admit you without proper assessment or educating you on your options. I can be your advocate and neutral assessor.

This is not to be confused with a psychological evaluation from a licensed psychologist, which is a much more in-depth and precise process. 

  • Administration of screening and assessment instruments based on initial consultation

  • 60 min telehealth interview

  • 30 min telehealth results session with impressions and written list of recommendations

  • $350

  • All of the above plus written Mental Health and Substance Use Assessment report

  • $450

Payment Methods

Private Pay

  • I accept all major credit and debit cards through the Simple Practice platform.

  • I accept HSA cards, but be aware a diagnosis may be required for your therapy to count as an eligible expense. If a diagnosis is appropriate this is not an issue but there are times when a person does not meet criteria for a diagnosis although they still benefit from therapy. I can happily discuss this with you in a consultation.

Aetna Insurance

  • I am in network with Aetna through the Headway platform.

  • You will need to sign up on Headway and complete a brief onboarding process to begin using your Aetna benefits.

Out of Network Benefits

  • If you have met your deductible, you may be able to use your out of network benefits for any insurance policy to pay for a significant portion of your sessions through the Thrizer platform.

  • If you have not met your deductible, you can submit superbills to Thrizer to count toward meeting your deductible and potentially getting a portion of your cost covered in the future.

  • Thrizer is a wonderful company working to make therapy more affordable for clients while allowing therapists to collect their full fees. They do this by allowing you to pay a copay, paying me my full fee, and floating the cost of your session until they are reimbursed by your insurance company. Click the link below and sign up as a client to receive a benefits breakdown. I can assist you during a consultation.

Relax knowing that all of your intake documentation, scheduling, and follow-up assessments can be completed easily and conveniently online through the client portal.

All of your communication and information will go through HIPAA compliant channels. Your privacy is my top priority.
