We provide comprehensive, tailored assessment for all ages over 5 years old. Assessments given at the CCC range from brief to in-depth, depending on the needs of the client or referring agency. Asessment services are supervised by the director of clinical training from the Department of Clinical Psychology.
We’ll interview you, learning your needs and expectations. Then we’ll give a set of tests grouped together to explore your strengths and challenges. We’ll write a report with recommendations to pursue on your own or with a specialist. After the report, we’ll follow up with a feedback session including your testing therapist to answer questions or address concerns.
Assessment fees vary from $350-700 depending on the purpose of testing, and clients are informed of all costs before to testing.
