What to Expect

Our assessment process

1
Free Phone Consultation

A brief call to gather initial information and determine whether our evaluation is the right fit. If appropriate, we'll place you on our waitlist for an assessment appointment.

2
Clinical Interviews (2 sessions, ~1 hour each)

A comprehensive clinical interview covering personal, developmental, medical, and educational history, plus a mental status examination. With your consent, we may gather collateral information from a family member.

3
Testing Appointments (3–5 hours)

A tailored battery of standardized cognitive, psychological, and neuropsychological tests assessing attention, memory, processing speed, executive functioning, and more. Testing is individualized to your referral questions.

4
Scoring & Interpretation (2–3 weeks)

Our clinicians carefully analyze and integrate all data to produce a thorough, clinically meaningful evaluation.

5
Feedback Session (~53 minutes)

A dedicated session to review findings, discuss diagnoses (if applicable), and provide personalized recommendations for treatment, accommodations, and next steps.

6
Written Report (within ~2 weeks of feedback)

A comprehensive written report summarizing findings, diagnostic impressions, and evidence-based recommendations — suitable for sharing with schools, employers, or other providers.

Scope of Practice

Clinical care, not forensic evaluation

Banyan provides neuropsychological and psychological assessments for medical and clinical purposes. Our evaluations are meant to clarify diagnosis and guide treatment, school or workplace support, and care planning. Our psychologists and neuropsychologists work as treating clinicians, not as expert witnesses or independent forensic examiners. These services are billed to health insurance or paid privately.

We do not provide forensic or legal evaluations. A legal evaluation is one requested because of a court case or a legal claim, whether it has already been filed or is still being considered. That work calls for a different role, a wider scope, and a different standard of evidence. Health insurance cannot be billed for it.

Examples of Legal or Forensic Contexts
  • –  A personal injury or accident claim, including one your attorney has not yet filed
  • –  A workers' compensation claim
  • –  A disability claim that is being appealed or is under attorney review
  • –  A child custody or family court matter
  • –  Immigration proceedings
  • –  A criminal case
  • –  A special education dispute that has moved to mediation or due process
  • –  Conservatorship, guardianship, or capacity questions
  • –  Any other matter where an attorney or a court is involved

If any of this applies to you, please tell us when you first reach out, even if you are not sure. We are glad to refer you to a provider who does this work.

A clinical report is not built to meet legal standards of evidence. Using one in a legal matter may weaken your case rather than help it.
