A psychological testing and assessment consultation typically begins with a brief, free 15-minute call or meeting to discuss your concerns and reasons for seeking an evaluation (or to review any relevant records). During this initial interaction, the psychologist will gather background information, identify potential areas of concern, and outline a plan for testing. You are encouraged to ask questions about the process so you feel comfortable and informed before proceeding.

During a feedback session, a client can expect to receive a comprehensive explanation of their psychological testing and assessment results .Dr. Howe will discuss the strengths and areas for growth identified by the tests, providing specific examples and insights into the client’s personality, cognitive abilities, and emotional patterns. This session will foster a collaborative and supportive environment where the client can ask questions, clarify their understanding, and develop a personalized plan for addressing any concerns or achieving their goals. The therapist will tailor the feedback to the individual client, ensuring it is clear, understandable, and ultimately helpful in promoting their well-being.
Clients are strongly discouraged from having the psychologist subpoenaed. Though the client’s attorney who initiates the subpoena request, is responsible for a court appearance and testimony fees, it does not meant that the psychologist’s testimony will be solely in the client’s favor. The psychologist will only testify their professional opinion and to the facts of the case. The minimum fee for a court appearance is $2500. Additional fees may be discussed upon consultation.
