Psychological Testing

At Summit Psychological Services, our licensed psychologists provide comprehensive psychological and neuropsychological testing for children, adolescents, and adults. Our evaluations are designed to offer a clear, in-depth understanding of cognitive, emotional, behavioral, and developmental functioning, helping to guide accurate diagnosis and effective treatment planning.

​

A comprehensive psychological evaluation can provide valuable insight into an individual’s strengths and challenges, clarify diagnostic questions, inform academic or workplace accommodations, and support personalized recommendations for therapy, medical care, and overall well-being.

​

Types of Testing Offered at Summit

  • Attention and executive functioning difficulties (ADHD for children and adults)

  • Autism and other concerns with social skills or developmental delays

  • Behavioral difficulties (e.g., oppositional defiant disorder)

  • Cognitive and intellectual (IQ) functioning

  • Emotional difficulties (mood disorders such as bipolar, anxiety, depression, OCD)

  • Learning challenges

  • Personality

  • Trauma-related concerns

  • Re-evaluations for diagnostic clarification or updated recommendations

 

Our testing process:

The testing process at Summit Psychological Services is conducted in three structured components:

​

  1. Initial Evaluation Appointment  - During this one-hour appointment, you will meet with the clinician, provide information on your presenting concerns and background, and the clinician will develop an individualized testing plan to meet your needs.

  2. In-person Testing Appointment - During the testing appointment, you will again meet with the clinician, complete a variety of assessment measures based on the individualized testing plan, and complete questionnaire-based assessments. Testing may consist of multiple appointments depending on the reason for testing and the individual needs.

  3. Feedback Appointment - During this one-hour appointment, the clinician will discuss the results of the testing, including diagnoses, individualized recommendations for treatment and ongoing support, and provide other relevant resources.

Cost of Psychological Testing

We accept many insurance plans and also offer out-of-pocket payment options for individuals whose insurance may not cover testing services. Individual benefits are based on your insurance plan. Coverage can vary greatly from insurance to insurance. Your insurance provider may request a pre-authorization to cover services or to prove medical necessity. We recommend that you contact your insurance provider and ask whether mental health benefits require a referral.
