Psychological assessments may include, but are not limited to, evaluations related to attention, learning, developmental concerns, autism spectrum disorder, and mental health functioning. Assessments involve the integration of information from multiple sources, including interviews, standardized testing, and collateral information. Results represent clinical opinions based on available data at the time of assessment and may change if new information becomes available.  It is important to understand that assessment results are not absolute and may be influenced by factors such as effort, engagement, emotional state, and external circumstances. Findings are intended to assist with understanding and decision-making, but may be interpreted differently by third parties (e.g., schools, employers, or other professionals).

A comprehensive psychological assessment typically includes a clinical interview, standardized psychometric tests, questionnaires, and a review of relevant records. These components allow psychologists to evaluate cognitive functioning, emotional health, learning differences, and behavioral concerns to provide a complete diagnostic picture.

Services may be provided by licensed psychologists, master’s-level clinicians, or other qualified professionals, depending on the nature of the service. All providers operate in accordance with Minnesota state regulations, licensing requirements, and professional standards, and are responsible for the services they provide within their scope of practice.  Portions of the assessment process may be administered by a psychometrist or trained examiner under the supervision of a licensed psychologist. Psychometrists are responsible for test administration and scoring only and do not provide interpretation, clinical opinions, or diagnoses. All interpretation, conclusions, and recommendations are completed and reviewed by a licensed psychologist.

The length of psychological testing depends on the type and complexity of the evaluation. Most comprehensive assessments at Ready Psych Go include a clinical interview, testing sessions, questionnaires, and a feedback appointment. In many cases, testing is completed across 1–3 in-person sessions followed by a detailed report and consultation.

Yes. However, recommendations provided in assessment reports are clinical in nature. Implementation of recommendations is determined by third parties (e.g., schools), and the practice cannot guarantee specific outcomes or accommodations.

Confidentiality  All communication during the course of the psychological assessment is confidential and protected under applicable U.S. privacy laws, including the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA). Information will not be disclosed without your written permission except in situations where disclosure is necessary to prevent harm or is required by law. Disclosure may be required in the following circumstances with or without your permission:  If there is reason to believe that a minor under the age of 18 years, or a vulnerable adult, is being abused or neglected (mandated reporting).  If there is reason to believe that you are in immediate and serious danger of harming yourself or someone else.  As required by court order, subpoena, or other legal process.  If there are concerns that you are unsafe to operate a motor vehicle, where required under Minnesota law.  If disclosure is otherwise required or permitted by federal or Minnesota state law.  When working with adolescent clients (ages 12 to 17), we make every effort to protect client confidentiality and establish a trusting relationship; at the same time, we endeavor to include parents or guardians when appropriate and necessary.  Assessment reports may be shared with third parties (e.g., schools, physicians, or other professionals) only with your written consent. Once released, the practice cannot guarantee how third parties will use or interpret the information.

A minimum of 48 hours’ notice is required to cancel or reschedule an appointment. If notice is provided with less than 48 hours but more than 24 hours, a partial cancellation fee of $500.00 may be charged. If notice is provided within 24 hours, or if an appointment is missed without notice, the full session or assessment fee will be charged.  Repeated late cancellations or missed appointments may result in discontinuation of services.

Services are primarily provided on a self-pay basis. Professional services are rendered and charged to the client, not the insurance company, and all fees are the responsibility of the client. You are responsible for verifying any mental health benefits and for submitting insurance claims for potential reimbursement.  At times, the practice may accept insurance or work with third-party payers. In such cases, coverage, authorization, and any remaining balances (e.g., deductibles, co-payments, or non-covered services) remain the responsibility of the client.
