The Clinical Intake Consultation is a cost-effective first step: a 1–2 hour clinical interview about your background and concerns, followed by a brief letter with our recommendations. If you then book an assessment with us, the intake fee is deducted from the total assessment cost — so nothing is wasted.
Why start with an intake consultation?
Comprehensive assessments are a significant investment of time and money. The intake consultation gives you an informed, clinician-led view of what’s most likely to help before you commit — whether that’s an ADHD or autism assessment, a learning assessment, a neuropsychological assessment, therapy, or something else entirely.
- Clarifies your assessment needs and/or the most effective treatment direction
- Avoids paying for an assessment that doesn’t answer your questions
- Produces a brief recommendations letter for your GP or treating clinician
- If you proceed with us, the information flows straight into your formal report — and the fee is credited
What happens in the session
We gather important information about your (or your child’s) background and presenting concerns: developmental, medical, educational and work history, current difficulties, and what you hope to get from an assessment or therapy. Bring any previous reports, school reports or medical letters you have.
Cost
The consultation is charged at our hourly rate of $240. If you subsequently decide to undergo an assessment with us, we deduct the amount paid for your intake from the total assessment cost — for example, $480 for a 2-hour consultation.
