Partnerships that respect your clinical relationship

When clients need testing or additional psychological input, you want partners who will honor your therapeutic relationship, keep roles clear, and provide feedback you can actually use. We collaborate with you—not over you—to support the work you’re already doing.

Outpatient Counseling Practices

Individual and group practices looking for trusted partners to provide testing and consults when questions about diagnosis, learning, or complexity arise.

Intensive & Specialty Programs

IOPs, PHPs, and specialty programs that benefit from deeper assessment on mood, personality, trauma, or neurodevelopmental questions for select clients.

Child, Adolescent, & Family Practices

Practices focused on children and teens seeking psychoeducational, ADHD, or autism-related evaluations that integrate school, family, and clinical perspectives.

Telehealth & Hybrid Practices

Regional practices that primarily see clients via telehealth and need in-person assessment options to complement ongoing care.

Psychological testing and consultation that deepen clinical understanding

Our evaluation services are designed to answer focused clinical questions, highlight strengths alongside concerns, and generate recommendations that align with ongoing treatment—not derail it.

Diagnostic Clarification Evaluations

When symptoms overlap or don’t respond as expected, targeted evaluations can help clarify diagnostic questions and treatment focus.

  • Assessment of mood, anxiety, trauma, and related concerns
  • Structured interviews and standardized measures
  • Feedback that integrates with current treatment goals

ADHD & Executive Function Assessment

Evaluations focused on attention, organization, working memory, and follow-through in daily life.

  • Comprehensive assessment across settings where possible
  • Differentiating ADHD from anxiety, depression, and stress
  • Concrete recommendations for home, work, and school

Psychoeducational & Learning Evaluations

Evaluations for clients whose clinical concerns intersect with learning, academic, or workplace performance.

  • Cognitive and academic testing for children, teens, and adults
  • Identification of learning strengths and challenges
  • Recommendations for school and workplace supports

Personality & Trauma-Related Assessment

When indicated, deeper assessment of longstanding patterns, trauma impact, and coping styles.

  • Careful integration of trauma and attachment histories
  • Personality measures used when clinically appropriate
  • Feedback that supports—not overwhelms—clients and clinicians

Consultation with Treating Clinicians

With client consent, we consult with treating therapists, psychiatrists, and other clinicians to help integrate evaluation findings into ongoing care.

  • Brief, focused communication to respect your time
  • Shared understanding of case formulation and options
  • Support for treatment planning and next steps

Client Feedback & Psychoeducation

We provide feedback to clients in clear, compassionate language and encourage ongoing discussion of results within their existing therapy relationships.

  • Emphasis on strengths and realistic hope
  • Normalizing common reactions to testing and diagnosis
  • Recommendations for supports, resources, and next steps

Clear roles, collaborative care

We are careful not to step into the role of the treating therapist when we are providing evaluation services. Our goal is to offer additional information that you and your client can use together, not to redefine the treatment relationship. When clients are not already in care, we discuss options for ongoing support and coordinate referrals as appropriate.

A straightforward process for you and your clients

We aim to keep referrals simple and transparent. You stay in the loop (with client consent), and clients know what to expect from start to finish.

Step 1

Partnership & referral guidelines

We meet with practice leaders or clinicians to clarify appropriate referral questions, typical timelines, and how we’ll communicate about mutual clients (with consent).

Step 2

Client referral & scheduling

You discuss the option of evaluation with your client. If they are interested, either they or your practice submits a referral using the agreed-upon process, and our team handles scheduling.

Step 3

Evaluation & feedback

We complete testing and interviews, then provide feedback to the client. With consent, we also share key findings with the treating clinician in a concise, clinically useful format.

Step 4

Ongoing collaboration as needed

We remain available for brief follow-up consultation regarding our evaluation findings, within agreed-upon boundaries and with the client’s permission.

What practice partners often notice

Every client and practice is different, but many partners describe these benefits when they integrate evaluation and consultation into their care options.

Deeper, more confident case formulations

Clinicians have additional data to support or refine their working hypotheses, which can increase confidence in treatment direction and conversations with clients and families.

More targeted treatment planning

Evaluation findings often highlight specific leverage points—skills, beliefs, or environments— where interventions may be especially helpful.

Clients feeling seen and understood

Many clients find it validating to have a clearer picture of what they’ve been experiencing, which can strengthen the therapeutic alliance and engagement in ongoing care.

Frequently asked questions

We welcome questions from clinicians and practice leaders. These responses address some of the most common themes we hear when practices consider formal evaluation partnerships.

Our default assumption is that you remain the treating clinician. If a client expresses interest in changing providers, we handle that conversation carefully and transparently, with attention to role boundaries and potential conflicts. In many cases, we simply provide evaluation services and then support the ongoing work you are already doing.

We obtain written consent from the client before sharing information with treating clinicians. We encourage clients to be part of the communication loop and often frame our findings with the expectation that they will be discussed further in their ongoing therapy. We follow professional ethics and applicable privacy laws in all communications.

Yes. As part of partnership planning—and on an ongoing basis—we are glad to consult with clinicians about whether evaluation is likely to add value for a particular client, or whether another approach might be a better fit at this time.

Within ethical and documentation standards, we can adjust the length, structure, and focus of reports so they are more usable in your setting. For example, a detailed clinical report can be paired with a shorter summary that is easier to reference in day-to-day work.

Let’s explore partnership with your practice

We’re glad to talk with individual clinicians, clinical directors, and practice owners about how evaluation and consultation services can complement the care you already provide.

  • Discuss your practice model and client population
  • Clarify referral questions and when testing is useful
  • Outline communication norms and role boundaries

This form is for professional partnership inquiries only and is not monitored for urgent or emergency situations. If a client is in crisis, please follow your usual clinical and emergency protocols.

Request a behavioral health partnership conversation

Please avoid including client names or detailed clinical histories in this form. We can discuss specific cases later in an appropriate, secure context if needed.
