Frequently Asked Questions
Do you offer tele-assessment?
Yes. Many interview and rating-scale portions can be completed remotely using secure tools. Some standardized tests allow tele-assessment administration. We will discuss what is appropriate for your referral questions.
How long does the assessment take?
Most assessments include an intake (60–90 minutes), 3–6 hours of testing across one or two sessions, and a separate results meeting. Timelines can vary with referral questions and prior records availability.
Will I receive a written report?
Absolutely. You will receive a clear, concise report with practical recommendations you can use at school, work, for referral sources, or with other providers. A results meeting is offered so you can ask questions and plan next steps.
Do you accept insurance?
We do not work directly with insurance companies, and full payment is due at the time of service. This approach allows us to offer flexible, individualized care while protecting your privacy. We strongly encourage you to contact your insurance provider before scheduling to ask about out-of-network testing benefits. If your plan offers reimbursement, we can provide the documentation you will need to submit a claim. Any reimbursement is a matter between you and your insurer.
Do you assess children?
Services focus on teens (16+) and adults. If you are seeking testing for a younger child, we recommend reviewing options at psychologytoday.com or nmpsychology.org.
Can you coordinate with my providers or school?
With your written permission, we can provide your results to your therapist, physician, or school and workplace to support accommodations and care planning. We do not actively participate beyond providing the relevant assessment results.
Is this a good fit if I'm referred by New Mexico DVR?
