Teen Psychological Evaluations
Comprehensive Emotional/Behavioral, Cognitive, and Achievement Assessments
Please note all assessments and other psychological services are neurodivergent-affirming, culturally responsive, and trauma-informed. Clients must be present in Georgia, New Mexico, or any of the PSYPACT states during all sessions (see last paragraph on this page or header at the top for list of states).
Psychological assessments are tailored to the client's issues, therefore, it is not possible to say which tests will be given. However, all of them include a biopsychosocial history, records review (medical and psychological), and a comprehensive, written report that can be used for accommodations in school and college.
Psychological assessments for teenagers (15-18) include emotional and behavioral functioning, cognitive testing, and intensive achievement testing which is usually required by schools/colleges for accommodations. Testing includes screeners for ADHD/Autism with more thorough testing as needed.
Testing lasts several days and is priced at $3800. If your teen already has a diagnosis and needs less thorough testing, please reach out for a custom quote. A detailed curated report will be provided, as well.
I consider these packages a VIP experience because I provide excellent communication during the process and am also available to my clients for follow up.
Please note that I am a neurodivergent-affirming practitioner. All recommendations and reports reflect this positive, strengths-based approach with emphasis on lived experience taking priority over "professional" expertise. However, this does not mean your teen does not need support - survival in the neurotypical world absolutely requires accommodation!
Please scroll below for more info and see FAQs about insurance. For HIPAA compliance, please contact and/or book solely through my secure email (rs@drrabia.com), not through my website.
If you are always trying to be normal (or neurotypical!), you will never know how amazing you can be.

→ The assessment consists of 3-5 sessions depending on which option you choose and which testing is warranted. The initial session is the intake interview which is usually around an hour. This is followed by the first testing session, which can last up to 2-2.5 hours. In this session, we do cognitive, mood testing, and some screeners. Additional days are reserved for autism/ADHD and/or achievement testing. Finally, the last day is the follow-up which is up to 45 minutes, we go over the results and discuss recommendations.
→ As part of these packages, your will gain a more personalized service with me. This includes answering your questions before, during, and after our sessions via email, as well as making recommendations in the future when I find great resources. Your experience with me will not be a "One and Done!" I am vested in my clients, now and in the future. Hence, why I call them VIP experiences.
→ One of the reasons I've decided to focus on telehealth only, is because I'd like to offer my services to those who are in rural areas or areas with few providers. Also, I get to see my clients in their safe space where they are more relaxed. You are welcome to wear your comfy clothing, bring in your pet, weighted blankets, etc., during our sessions. I will also prepare you for each session beforehand so you know exactly what to expect and there are no surprises. For the autism/ADHD testing, it is more relaxed untimed testing and you can have loved ones present. However, some of the testing (like cognitive) does have stricter rules and nobody else should be with you in the same room - I will let you know beforehand about these.
→ Telehealth sessions are conducted online via Zoom, which is a secure HIPAA compliant platform. Please ensure a reliable internet connection and a quiet area in which to connect (coffee shops are not appropriate). Headphones/earbuds are helpful if you wish to tune out outside noise. Please contact me if you have any questions/concerns about using this platform.
→ Due to licensure rules, psychologists are only allowed to practice if they have permission in the state in which the client is located at time of contact. I can currently complete telehealth assessments for clients located in GA, NM, and all of the PSYPACT states (currently: AL, AZ, AR, CO, CNMI, CT, DE, DC, FL, GA, ID, IL, IN, KS, KY, ME, MD, MI, MN, MO, ND, NE, NV, NH, NJ, NM, NC, OH, OK, PA, RI, SC, SD, TN, TX, UT, VA, VT, WA, WV, WI & WY but please see https://psypact.org/page/psypactmap for updated information as new states are being added monthly). I can also do assessments in some other countries - please email to inquire.
