FEE: $1,850
Comprehensive assessments for adult ADHD are offered as a fixed-price package. The total fee of $1,850 includes:
Two in-depth assessment sessions (typically two 80-minute appointments) and a 30-minute feedback session
Collection and analysis of collateral information, ideally from:
Someone who knew you during childhood
Someone who knows you well as an adult
School reports (if available)
Administration and interpretation of relevant psychometric testing
Completion of a detailed psychological report (where appropriate)
Please note that a diagnosis of ADHD is not guaranteed as part of this process. If, following assessment, a diagnosis is not indicated, a comprehensive report may not be required. In such cases, the overall fee will be reduced to reflect the exclusion of report writing and associated administrative time.
Fees are invoiced in two parts: an initial payment of $1,000 is due via bank deposit one week prior to the first assessment session, and the remaining $850 is invoiced upon completion of the assessment, with payment required before the psychological report is released.

Due to the wide variability of presentations within autism, I do not offer a standard assessment package. Instead, I charge based on the time involved in assessment sessions, the review of relevant background information (such as school reports or mental health notes), and any required psychometric measures.
Typically, an assessment includes two in-depth assessment sessions (typically two 80-minute appointments) plus a 30-minute feedback session, with a total cost of $1000. If there are additional support needs or sensory differences requiring further exploration, a third assessment session may be recommended.
After the assessment, I offer a range of report options tailored to your needs. These reports vary in price depending on their level of detail, from a free Assessment Outcome Summary (brief) to a comprehensive report priced at $850.
