Common Questions
Do you take insurance?
AdjustWell is a private-pay practice, and I do not bill insurance directly. I can provide a superbill that you may submit to your insurance company for possible out-of-network reimbursement. Coverage varies considerably between plans, particularly for psychological assessment, so I recommend checking your individual benefits. HSA and FSA funds are also accepted.
How long does it take to complete an assessment?
Assessments typically include multiple appointments and often include requests for academic and possibly medical records. Report writing will be completed throughout the process to ensure that once all information is collected, you will be able to schedule a feedback session about a week later. The report will be finalized shortly after the feedback session and you will receive a copy for your records.
How long does therapy last?
People come to therapy for many different reasons, and every person that comes to therapy is unique. For that reason, it can be difficult to have a single answer to this question that applies to everyone. After one to two initial sessions, you’ll be provided some feedback about the type and length of therapy that may be most beneficial. Together, we will frequently discuss your treatment goals, progress, roadblocks, and updated goals. This will help us determine when it is time to lessen the frequency of sessions and/or finish our work together.

Once you complete the brief consultation request form, I’ll review your responses to get a sense of what you’re looking for and whether my services are likely to be a good fit. If so, I’ll reach out to schedule a free 15-minute consultation. This gives us a chance to talk briefly about your needs, answer any initial questions, and discuss next steps.

ADHD evaluations are individualized based on your concerns and history. The process typically includes a detailed clinical interview, standardized questionnaires and testing, and review of relevant records when available. After the evaluation, we’ll meet for a feedback session to discuss the results, answer questions, and review individualized recommendations. You’ll also receive a written report summarizing the findings.

You don’t need to know before we get started—that’s part of the reason for having an evaluation. Difficulties with attention, organization, memory, and follow-through can have many possible explanations. My role is to look at the full picture, consider the factors that may be contributing, and help you better understand what is most likely going on.
-
No. As a psychologist, I do not prescribe medication. When appropriate, recommendations following an ADHD evaluation may include discussing medication options with a physician or other qualified prescribing provider.
-
All services are provided through secure telehealth. I work with adults located in Michigan as well as other states where I am authorized to practice through PSYPACT. Because telehealth rules depend on where you are physically located at the time of your appointment, please feel free to check the PSYPACT map or reach out if you are unsure.
-
My assessment practice is currently focused on comprehensive ADHD evaluations for adults. I do not provide evaluations for children or adolescents or comprehensive neuropsychological, forensic, or disability evaluations through AdjustWell. If you’re unsure whether the type of evaluation you need fits my practice, you’re welcome to submit a consultation request with a little information about what you’re looking for.
-
When clinically appropriate, recommendations from an ADHD evaluation may include accommodations for work or school. However, each employer, school, and testing organization has its own documentation requirements, and an evaluation does not guarantee that accommodations will be approved. If you are seeking an evaluation specifically for accommodations, please mention this when you reach out so we can discuss your needs.
-
That’s okay. Sometimes it isn’t immediately clear which type of support would be most useful. You can share a little about what’s bringing you in on the consultation request form, and we can discuss whether assessment, therapy, or another type of service seems like the best next step.
