Psychological Evaluation

The Emory Psychological Center is now accepting applications for assessment services on a rolling basis. If you are interested in our services, please click HERE to complete our interest form.

A psychological evaluation includes a formal assessment of an individual’s academic and cognitive strengths and weaknesses, as well as overall social and emotional well-being. An assessment with us would be appropriate for questions about possible learning disorders (reading, writing, math), attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, and any other concerns impacting performance at school or work. We do not evaluate for Autism Spectrum Disorder specifically. We recommend contacting the Emory Autism Center or Marcus Autism Center for this type of evaluation.

Limited Availability

We receive more requests for testing than we have spaces for at any given time. Availability of assessment services is limited by the training needs of our students, and decisions are not made on a first-come, first-served basis. If we do not have availability, or it is determined that other resources would be more helpful to you, appropriate referrals will be provided.

Timeline

Testing consists of an initial interview in-person or via Zoom as well as additional appointments for in-person testing. At the conclusion of the evaluation, clients will receive feedback in-person or via Zoom as well as a written final report.

We accept testing cases on a rolling basis, based on clinician availability, with final reports generally sent 4 weeks after the final testing appointment.

We cannot guarantee the completion of final reports within 4 weeks of the conclusion of testing but follow this as a general guideline. If you need a report by a specific date, you will need to contact a private practice licensed psychologist.

Fee and Payment Instructions

Assessment services are available to the community on a sliding fee scale ranging from $600 to $1800 for a comprehensive evaluation depending on household income and number of people in the family. This fee shall be paid in two payments: a non-refundable deposit up to $350 is required within one week of your acceptance to hold your spot, and the balance payment of up to $1450 is automatically processed by our office after the first evaluation session has taken place.
