Psychological testing and assessment can assist in directing psychotherapy and medication services to areas most needed, and can identify learning, intellectual, social, and emotional strengths as well as challenges. At BWP, we provide psychological assessments to guide treatment, support diagnostic clarification, and assist individuals in obtaining appropriate accommodations or services across various life domains, as well as for forensic and independent evaluator purposes.

We provide comprehensive evaluations for children (ages 3 years+), adolescents, and adults, using a collaborative process that includes a thorough diagnostic interview, review of records (if applicable), a detailed plan for the proposed evaluation, a comprehensive report, and one or more feedback sessions.

Common Types of Assessments We Offer

 Some of the types of psychological testing we offer in New York City include:

• ADHD and Autism Spectrum Evaluations: Identifying attentional, executive functioning, and/or social-communication challenges across age groups.
• Academic and Learning Disability Assessments: Diagnosing learning disorders and providing recommendations for school, work or other needed accommodations
• Intellectual, Social, and Emotional Functioning: Comprehensive personality and cognitive testing to support treatment planning or clarify psychiatric diagnoses.
• IQ and Cognitive Testing: Evaluating intellectual strengths and weaknesses to guide academic, occupational, or therapeutic decisions.
• Neuropsychological and Brain-Based Evaluations: Assessing cognitive changes related to traumatic brain injury (TBI), concussion, dementia, or other neurological conditions. These evaluations assist with diagnosis, treatment planning, and tracking cognitive function over time.

Cost of Assessment Services in New York City

While some clinicians on our Assessment Team are in-network for Aetna (both Student and Commercial Insurance), as well as NYU Wellfleet, most of our Assessment Psychologists are not. If you need to see an in-network provider to contain costs, we will accommodate you as soon as we have availability, which may be immediate.

Most of our Psychological Assessment Services are billed out-of-network, but we will work with you to set an affordable fee (if possible) and assist with billing your insurance company. Depending on your assessment needs, your out-of-network full fee will vary, but as a guide, you can expect the following costs for standard full assessment batteries. The price includes an initial evaluation, testing, scoring, interpretation, report writing and feedback session. Again, your assessment provider may be able to help keep costs down, which can be determined during your evaluation session.

Approximate Out-of-Network Costs of Psychological Testing for Infants, Children, Adults and Seniors

Depending on the complexity of the referral question and the aim of the testing, an assessment can range from $1800 to $7800 for the initial evaluation (interview), administration of various tests, scoring and report writing, and one or more feedback sessions. After your intake session, your assessment specialist will provide you with their impressions and an approximate cost. Again, based on the complexity of the referral question and the time required to complete the assessment.
