Q: How long do clinical evaluations take and what do they cost?   Clinical services are charged at $200/hr.
 

       A. Depends on the type of evaluation and the age of the client.  The first session is the Diagnostic Interview and it usually   

             takes about an hour or so and will be $200.  In that session we discuss and agree upon what type of evaluation will be

             performed.  Payment for the evaluation will need to be collected at the end of the initial visit and before any testing is     

             started.  Cash, checks, or electronic funds transfer are accepted forms of payment.
