Neuropsychological Testing for Children, Teens, and Young Adults in Massachusetts
Currently accepting new testing clients — no waitlist.
When something feels off — school is harder than it should be, emotions feel bigger, or your child’s strengths aren’t matching their performance — a neuropsychological evaluation can give your family real answers.
I provide comprehensive neuropsychological and psychological testing for ages 6 and up. Evaluations clarify attention, learning, cognitive strengths, emotional functioning, and behavior, and translate those findings into a practical roadmap for school, treatment, and home.
What I Test For
Evaluations are individualized to each person. Common referral questions include:
ADHD and executive functioning
Autism spectrum disorders
Dyslexia and other learning disabilities
Giftedness and twice-exceptional (2e) profiles
Anxiety, depression, and emotion regulation
Personality disorders
Behavioral challenges at home or school
Cognitive strengths and intellectual ability
Many families come to me after a school evaluation left questions unanswered, after a prior diagnosis didn’t quite fit, or when a child’s complexity has been difficult to explain. I specialize in nuanced, layered presentations where learning, giftedness, and emotional functioning intersect.
Cognitive Testing for Independent School Admissions
Many independent schools in the Greater Boston area require an IQ assessment (typically the WISC-V) as part of their admissions process. This is a straightforward, focused evaluation: one testing session, a clear score report, and a parent feedback meeting. It does not include the broader clinical intake, collateral consultation, or detailed diagnostic report that comes with a comprehensive evaluation.
Reports are typically available within two weeks of testing. If your child’s school requires a specific test format or form, just let me know when you reach out.

I am a private-pay, out-of-network provider. I do not bill insurance directly. I provide a detailed superbill so families with PPO plans or out-of-network benefits can seek reimbursement from their insurance carrier — often 50–80% of the allowed amount after the deductible.
I’m happy to provide a written fee estimate you can share with your insurer to check your benefits before we begin. Call the member services number on your insurance card and ask about out-of-network benefits for neuropsychological testing. To estimate your reimbursement rate, use this free calculator.

Feedback Session: We review findings, patterns, and recommendations together.
Why Families Seek Private Neuropsychological Evaluations
Families often pursue private evaluations when:
Concerns are complex or longstanding
Previous answers haven’t felt complete
School evaluations feel limited in scope
Long waitlists for testing make it difficult to get answers quickly
Clarity is needed for decision-making
Emotional, learning, and attention factors overlap
A child has high ability but is struggling
Parents want a comprehensive understanding — not just eligibility determination.
Private neuropsychological testing provides an in-depth, individualized perspective focused on the whole child.
School Collaboration and Educational Planning
With experience working within public school systems, I understand how evaluations are used to support educational decision-making. Reports are written to be clear, practical, and meaningful for schools and families alike.
Recommendations may support:
IEP or 504 planning
Classroom accommodations
Learning interventions
School placement decisions
Gifted programming
Executive functioning support
Emotional and behavioral intervention
