The Cost of a Psychological Evaluation
The psychologists at The Silver Psychology Center are well trained and highly experienced. All professional staff has been carefully selected by Drs. Robert and Deborah Silver based on their having met the high standard set at the Silver Psychology Center. Dr. Robert Silver has 38 years experience as a psychologist and is Board Certified in three specialty areas of psychology, including Clinical Psychology, which is the specialty that devotes most training and emphasis to psychological evaluations.
Psychological evaluations vary from the simple, limited, and superficial to the most complex, comprehensive, perceptive analysis. No two psychological evaluations are alike. The quality of the evaluation also varies with the training, experience and skill of the psychologist evaluator. If price is the only consideration, then you should find the lowest priced evaluator. Otherwise, collecting the information to do a good psychological evaluation takes time and ability. To the extent that you desire an experienced, talented evaluator and wish a comprehensive, in-depth analysis that produces meaningful results, you will likely have to pay more. Consequently a psychological evaluation may range from $750 to $2000, depending upon whether you are looking for the best or the least.
Hourly fees for psychological services are competitive with the fees charged by psychologists in this area.
