Facts And Questions (FAQs)

FAQs

  • I offer clinical services in the form of screenings, evaluations, and speech therapy treatment.

    Non-clinical services I offer are ADHD/Autism Coaching, and free 15-minute consultations.

  • At this time, we are credentialing with Caresource, UnitedHealthcare, and Kaiser Permanente. Other insurances are TBD.

  • A 15-20 minute screening is a flat fee of 25 dollars (USD)

  • A 60-minute evaluation is a flat fee of 150 dollars (USD)

  • For one 30-minute session, there is a flat fee of 50 dollars (USD). Sessions can vary in length and frequency dependeing on what evaluation results dictate, clinical judgment, and client expectations/availability. Typically, the rate will increase as time per session increases.

  • A consultation is a free service that is provided virtually for 15 minutes. This is an informal conversation with the provider to determine a need for a screening or an evaluation.

    A screener is a pay-per-service option for those who don't want to pay the full price for an evaluation but would like to know if an evaluation is necessary. A screener has the option of being in-person but ONLY if you live in the Gwinnett County, GA area.

    An evaluation is a formal diagnostic assessment that is used to determine a diagnosis of a communication "disorder". I say "disorder" in quotations because a severity rating on a diagnostic assessment does not determine whether or not someone is impaired. Clinical judgement will be used (along with diagnostic materials) to determine if a speech and language impairment is present. If you request an evaluation, a formal 3-5 page report will be given within 1-2 weeks of testing with the therapist's signature.

  • No, an evaluation is always required before treatment can begin. HOWEVER, if you have had a diagnostic evaluation performed by another provider within the last 6 months, then treatment will be considered.

  • I am credentialed in the state(s) of GA, FL, SC, and MD. Since my practice resides in the state of GA, I am only able to treat those who reside in GA or in the other three states listed. If you live outside of GA, FL, SC, or MD, then I cannot complete an evaluation or treat. However, I will still be able to provide a consultation as this is not a therapeutic service.
