Clinical Psychologist Assessment
(50-60 mins)
$395.00
(per session)
These assessment sessions are used to determine the nature of the patients' difficulties, make diagnoses, determine functional capacity and formalise findings. Assessments usually involve 2-4 sessions and include a comprehensive psychological report which is compiled for no additional charge at the completion of the full assessment. There is a higher fee for the assessment sessions to account for the additional costs associated with the tools used, collating the results and writing the comprehensive report.
