Neuropsychological Evaluations

Neuropsychological Evaluations

At Wellesley Counseling & Wellness LLC, we believe high-quality neuropsychological testing should be accessible, collaborative, and grounded in real clinical care and not gatekept behind inaccessible private-pay systems. To better serve our community, we officially integrated Wellesley Neuropsychology & Assessment (WNPA) into our broader WCW practice model, allowing more individuals and families to access comprehensive neuropsychological evaluations through insurance-covered care.

Our neuropsychological testing services help provide clarity, direction, and individualized recommendations for children, adolescents, college students, and adults experiencing a wide range of cognitive, emotional, behavioral, academic, or diagnostic concerns.

We provide evaluations for:

  • ADHD / Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder

  • Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)

  • Trauma-related cognitive and emotional concerns

  • Learning differences and executive functioning challenges

  • Anxiety, depression, and mood-related presentations

  • Diagnostic uncertainty or complex clinical presentations

  • Memory, concentration, and cognitive concerns

  • School, workplace, and accommodation-related needs

  • Personality, emotional regulation, and behavioral concerns

  • Other presenting issues where diagnostic clarification is clinically indicated

Our goal is not simply to “label” symptoms, but to provide a thoughtful and individualized understanding of how a person thinks, learns, processes emotions, and navigates the world. Each evaluation includes comprehensive clinical interviewing, testing administration, interpretation, feedback, and actionable recommendations tailored to the individual’s needs.

Insurance-Covered Neuropsychological Testing

As part of our commitment to accessibility and advocacy within our community, we are proud to offer insurance-accepted neuropsychological evaluations through many major commercial insurance plans, including:

  • Blue Cross Blue Shield 

  • AllWays Health Partners/MGBHP

  • UnitedHealthcare UHC/UBH

  • Harvard Pilgrim

  • Optum

  • Aetna (excluding all third party insurances that use Aetna’s network)

  • Private Pay (see our fees page for private pay rates)

    Please note that we accept only commercial insurance plans. This excludes any MassHealth plans that may operate under the above listed insurance companies. WCW also does not accept any payment through Employee Assistance Programs.

Our administrative team assists with benefits verification, prior authorization requirements when applicable, and helping clients understand their coverage options.

School-Age Testing

For school-age children, our standard evaluation includes cognitive, executive functioning, academic, and other clinically indicated testing. Our comprehensive neuropsychological evaluations include academic achievement testing because we consider it essential for answering the referral questions and distinguishing learning disorders from other causes of academic difficulty. In some cases, an abbreviated evaluation without academic achievement testing may be appropriate; this determination is made by the clinician after the intake appointment. The acaemic portion is not covered by insurance and is $2000.

A Community-Focused Model

By integrating WNPA into WCW, we aimed to create a more sustainable and community-centered model for neuropsychological care — one that prioritizes accessibility, continuity of care, collaboration with therapists and prescribers, and reducing barriers to obtaining answers.

We know how overwhelming it can feel to seek clarity for yourself, your child, or a loved one. Our team strives to make the process supportive, transparent, and clinically meaningful from start to finish. If you have additional questions, check out our FAQ page or email us.
