Psychological Evaluations for University Students
I conduct comprehensive evaluations for university students who are seeking formal academic accommodations through their campus Disability Services office. I am credentialed to see students who live in Washington State or across participating PsyPact states.
Please Note: I do not conduct testing for diagnoses of ADHD, Learning Disabilities, or Autism Spectrum Disorder at this time. I am happy to provide you with referrals to providers who do that kind of testing.
How It Works
Step 1: Campus Preparation: Meet with a staff member at your university's Disability Services Office. Secure the specific accommodation documentation or intake forms they require and transmit them to me prior to our initial meeting.
Step 2: The Evaluation: We will meet remotely via telehealth for a 60-to-90-minute clinical interview. We will discuss your mental health history, current symptoms, and academic barriers to fully outline how your health impacts your studies.
Step 3: Letter & Submission: I will compose a formal clinical letter to your campus Disability Services team. You will review what is being shared before I secure your written permission and transmit the documentation directly to your campus representative.
Please note that I do not decide whether your request is granted or not.
Fees
Fees: Evaluation sessions and pro-rated administrative tasks (report writing/coordination) are billed at $300 per hour.
Please reach out as soon as you anticipate needing documentation. Accommodation reviews take time, and university offices experience high traffic and limited appointment slots during peak points of the term.

I spent 14 years on the clinical team at Seattle University, working hand-in-hand with the Disability Services Office. I have supported many students with the process of requesting academic accommodations. I fully understand requirements for documentation and submission.

The Americans with Disabilities Act ensures that students with disabilities are provided with academic accommodations so that they may access programs, services, and activities. This is to support your full engagement in university life.
Disabilities includes mental health diagnoses, which includes, but is not limited to, depression or anxiety. Documentation of how your mental health impacts your academic functioning can help get you accommodations at your university or college.
Documentation must come from a qualified licensed care provider and typically includes a diagnosis and/or how your mental health would be supported by receiving accommodations.
