 How can neuropsychological testing help me?

Neuropsychological assessment is a great way to better understand yourself and learn about your strengths and areas of need. Assessments offer personalized recommendations that are related to the reason you sought out testing and that help you to know what your next steps are. Assessments are also a wonderful way to get a well-rounded picture of your overall current abilities; these evaluations look in-depth at your social, emotional, cognitive, and personality functioning and can provide you with diagnostic information as applicable.

Personality assessments are an excellent way to get to know yourself on a deeper level by specifically focusing on your personality traits and social-emotional abilities. These assessments can provide extremely valuable feedback for yourself, your family member, your therapist, and others in your life who may want to better understand you or to assist with the current treatment you may be receiving.

Cognitive testing is an opportunity to learn about your brain’s current memory abilities, speed of processing information, ability to focus and learn, visual-spatial skills, language skills, and organization abilities.

Are you exploring neuropsychological testing for adults specifically? Our evaluations are as relevant and impactful as they are for children.

Adults often seek testing after spending too many years wondering what is wrong with me? Why does everything feel harder than it should?

Struggling with focus, relationships, managing stress—even finding the right career path—does not mean there’s anything ‘wrong’. It means you are paying attention to something worth understanding.

As an adult, there’s no such thing as getting answers too late. Because it is often life-changing when you do.

Clients have told us they feel empowered after working with us. They are better able to manage life stressors and now have incredible insights into why they do—and feel—the things they do.

San Jose residents can conveniently access our services near landmarks like the Winchester Mystery House and the historic Naglee Park Conservation Area. As a trusted resource for psychological assessment Bay Area families and professionals rely on, we’re here to help you move forward with clarity and confidence.

How much is neuropsychological testing in San Jose, CA and what is involved?

Fees are dependent on the type of evaluation being requested. The flat rate for the assessment will be paid 50% at the initial intake meeting and 50% at the last testing session – All fees are paid in full prior to scheduling a feedback session and receiving your final report.

Payment plans can be discussed during your initial consultation.

The following neuropsychological assessment packages include: an intake session, review of medical/psychiatric/educational records, school observation (for children), direct testing hours (ranges from 2-12 hours, depending on the question being evaluated), scoring, interpretation and write-up, collateral contacts (emails and phone calls), and a report with personalized recommendations provided during a feedback session.

You will receive an initial quote based on which package best suits your needs. For services that do not fall into one of the packages above, we bill at an hourly rate of $225.

A 50% deposit at intake is based upon your initial estimated quote. Quotes can change during the assessment process if additional testing is warranted based upon test findings; the neuropsychologist will discuss any change to your quote prior to providing additional services.

Most reports are completed within 1.5 – 3 weeks from the point that testing is completed.

We are considered out of network with all insurance providers, and we do not accept insurance for any of our services. This ensures that we can provide you with a comprehensive and thorough service, without the significant restrictions that many insurance companies require.

We can provide a superbill if needed at the conclusion of your evaluation, which you may submit to your insurance provider to attempt reimbursement. There is no guarantee that you will be reimbursed for any services provided.

It is recommended that you reach out to your insurance provider prior to contacting us for an intake to understand your benefits if you plan to receive a superbill. Ask the insurance provider about your “out of network neuropsychological testing” benefits, and they may ask you which codes are being billed; we typically bill the following CPT codes: 90791, 96130, 96131, 96136, and 96137.
